Thermo Fisher Scientific (San Jose, California), has acquired Max Analytical Technologies (East Windsor, Connecticut). Max Analytical has developed Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy –based gas analysis solutions for process monitoring, source testing, and ambient air monitoring. Its systems are used extensively in semiconductor manufacturing, industrial process monitoring, and environmental health and safety applications. The Max Analytical portfolio complements Thermo Fisher’s line of FT-IR instruments, software, and services, and expands the breadth of Thermo’s vibrational spectroscopy products.

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
November 21st 2024This study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze how the globular protein ovalbumin's secondary structures transition under varying pH conditions in the presence of the cosolvent xylitol, highlighting the role of noncovalent interactions in these conformational changes.
