Science, Instrumentation, and Interaction Go Hand-In-Hand at Pittcon 2009

A recent study demonstrated how to advance chemical education with decommissioned optical spectrometers.

A recent study examined how spectroscopic techniques, such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and single-particle aerosol mass spectrometry (SPAMS), are monitoring indoor air quality.

Sirish Subash is the winner of the Young Scientist Award, presented by 3M and Discovery education. His work incorporates spectrophotometry, a nondestructive method that measures the light of various wavelengths that is reflected off fruits and vegetables.

Handheld instrumentation allows for on-site analysis without transporting samples to a laboratory, helping to reduce the cost and time of forensic investigations.

DermaSensor published the results of their elastic scattering spectroscopic device in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions.

A recent study in beverage analysis showcased the capability of a new electronic tongue (e-tongue) prototype in analyzing liquid samples such as coconut water.
