Classification of Bacteria Using FT-IR

A recent study demonstrates the potential of infrared (IR) spectroscopy-based breath analysis as a non-invasive method to detect prostate cancer by identifying disease-specific volatile organic compounds.

An interview with Charles Wilkins, the winner of the 2013 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Company.

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging contaminants requiring robust analytical techniques for identification and quantification in diverse environmental and biological matrices. This review highlights various spectroscopy methods, such as Raman, FT-IR, NIR, ICP-MS, Fluorescence, X-ray, and NMR detailing their methodologies, sample handling, and applications for characterizing MPs and NPs.

Bernhard Lendl and Cosima Koch of the Vienna University of Technology have developed a new method for on-line monitoring of fermentations using mid-infrared spectroscopy.

This article recaps a recent study into the infrared (IR) spectroscopy market.

A study published in the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis by Yuanwen Kuang and colleagues used advanced pyrolysis techniques to reveal the preservation and chemical transformations of 2,000-year-old Chinese swamp cypress wood, offering valuable insights for archaeological conservation and environmental reconstructions.
