Use of Raman Microscopy to Characterize Extractables and Leachables
Raman microscopy, combined with X-ray fluorescence, can provide detailed information about extractables and leachables from medically implantable devices.
More About CLS, Part 2: Spectral Results (Not Needing Constituent Values) and CLS
A previous analysis of data is compared to the results achieved using classical least squares and principal component analysis. What did we learn?
Advancing In Situ Applications of Spectroscopy in an Industrial Setting
Xiaoyun (Shawn) Chen of Dow Chemical solves a range of analytical problems in R&D and production processes using in situ spectroscopy and chemometrics.
Raman Spectroscopy of Graphene-Based Materials
Ping-Heng Tan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is advancing the use of Raman spectroscopy to characterize graphene-based materials.
New, Advanced Spectroscopic Techniques Aid in Tissue Engineering
Nancy Pleshko of Temple University is studying the use of FT-IR imaging and NIR spectroscopy to solve bioengineering problems related to human replacement tissue.
LIBS-Based Imaging: Recent Advances and Future Directions
LIBS-based imaging has a broad range of applications. Here, we demonstrate those capabilities with examples from paleoclimate research and toxicology studies.
A Label- and Enzyme-Free Fluorescent Method for the Rapid and Simple Detection of Hg2+ in Cigarettes Using G-Triplexes as the Signal Reporter
A novel method was developed for detecting Hg2+ in tobacco, with potential application to mercury detection in environmental water samples.
Influence of Spectral Interferences on the Reliability of Data When Using Analyte Addition Techniques with ICP-OES
Contrary to popular belief, neither good “spike” recoveries nor the use of the method of standard additions (MSA) will guarantee accurate results in ICP-OES.
Market Profile: Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy
The total market for NIR was measured at about $470 million in 2019 and is expected to reach over $570 million by 2024.
