End of the Spectrum: Embracing the Old and the New at PittCon 2005 (PDF)

In 2024, we launched multiple content series, covered major conferences, presented two awards, and continued our monthly Analytically Speaking episodes. Below, you'll find a selection of the most popular content from Spectroscopy over the past year.

We reflect on several of the major conferences Spectroscopy covered over the past year.

Researchers from Italy have developed a Raman spectroscopy-based method for the rapid detection of Clostridium spores in milk. This technique offers significant advantages over traditional methods, reducing detection time by nearly half while maintaining sensitivity and reliability.

This month’s column evaluates the capability of inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to reduce the impact of doubly charged rare-earth element (REE) interferences on the quantitation of the metalloids, arsenic (As), and selenium (Se) in water and biological matrices.
