Application Notes: General

Trace metals analysis of food samples can be complicated due to their varied composition. In this application note, BLADE’s fast digestion times and sequential automation gives the ultimate flexibility in sample preparation to reduce analysis bottlenecks and streamline workflow.

The increasing concern over microplastics in the environment and food chain is prompting potential regulations worldwide, impacting laboratories and producers. These entities will need to better understand the presence of microplastics in their products, with the development of standard testing methodologies underway and various challenges being encountered in their implementation.

IR Laser Imaging offers higher power density than traditional MIR sources, creating excellent IR spectral data in less time than what is needed for FT-IR acquisition.

In this application note, a microspectrometer is evaluated as an option for measuring the fluorescence of the compounds Europium chloride and Terbium chloride.
