The optimal pathlength for an on-line FT-NIR process measurement needs to be determined by experimentation. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of measuring water in acetone by NIR spectroscopy at various pathlengths using an adjustable Spyder™ process flow cell, as a prelude to full-scale implementation of NIR process analysis on a production line.
Polymer Matrices: Optimization for Pre-Analytical Workflow
November 27th 2024Learn about the challenges of preparing polymer samples for elemental analysis and how advanced microwave digestion systems, particularly Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology, optimize this process for better accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
Poster Presentation - RISE imaging of various phases of SiC in sintered silicon-carbide ceramics
November 12th 2024In this poster presentation applications manager Ute Schmidt discusses the use of correlative Raman-SEM (RISE Microscopy) imaging for analyzing silicon-carbide (SiC) ceramics. The main focus of the work is investigating the distribution of sub-micron structured polytypes of SiC grains on and below the surface.
