App of the Month: Shimadzu IR

The Shimadzu IR app is designed as a tool for users of Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers

IS THERE AN APP FOR THAT?

HIGHLIGHTS OF APPS FOR SPECTROSCOPY

APP NAME: Shimadzu IR

OFFERED BY: Shimadzu Business Systems Corporation

PLATFORMS: iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (requires iOS 4.3 or later, optimized for iPhone 5)

WHAT IT DOES: The Shimadzu IR app is designed as a tool for users of Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers. According to the company, the app allows users to check the physical and chemical characteristics of optical materials and view suitable measurement techniques for them. The converter option allows for unit conversions, such as wavelength to wavenumber.

COST: Free

Scientists Use Water and Light to Uncover Honey Adulteration

Jerome Workman, Jr.
In a 2025 study, Indian researchers demonstrated that combining near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with aquaphotomics enables rapid, non-destructive detection of adulterants in honey by analyzing changes in water’s spectral behavior. Using chemometric models, they accurately identified and quantified six common adulterants, offering a powerful tool for food authenticity and quality control.
