Spectroscopy is pleased to announce the addition of Mike Bradley to its editorial advisory board.
Spectroscopy is pleased to announce the addition of Mike Bradley to its editorial advisory board.
Bradley graduated from the University of South Carolina (Columbia, South Carolina) with a BS in Chemistry and earned his PhD from the University of Illinois (Urbana–Champaign, Illinois).
He is the marketing manager for Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Madison, Wisconsin. He taught at the University of Connecticut (Storrs, Connecticut) and Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, Indiana) for a combined 15 years, and worked at Abbott Laboratories prior to becoming a field applications scientist with (then) Thermo Nicolet in 2002.
Bradley was heavily involved in the development and launch of the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS10 FT-IR spectrometer and the Nicolet iN10 FT-IR microscope in 2008. He has been product manager for the FT-IR products since 2009. Most recently, Bradley led the teams that developed the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 FT-IR spectrometer, launched in 2012, and was recently promoted to marketing manager for FT-IR microscopy products.
Spectroscopy and GPC to Evaluate Dissolved Organic Matter
February 4th 2025In a new study, a team of scientists used gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy to assess road runoff from drinking water treatment plants to evaluate the method' capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM).
Blood-Glucose Testing: AI and FT-IR Claim Improved Accuracy to 98.8%
February 3rd 2025A research team is claiming significantly enhanced accuracy of non-invasive blood-glucose testing by upgrading Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) with multiple-reflections, quantum cascade lasers, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy, and machine learning. The study, published in Spectrochimica Acta Part A, reports achieving a record-breaking 98.8% accuracy, surpassing previous benchmarks for non-invasive glucose detection.
Distinguishing Horsetails Using NIR and Predictive Modeling
February 3rd 2025Spectroscopy sat down with Knut Baumann of the University of Technology Braunschweig to discuss his latest research examining the classification of two closely related horsetail species, Equisetum arvense (field horsetail) and Equisetum palustre (marsh horsetail), using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR).
