We used an inVia™ Raman microscope and particle analysis software to determine the composition and morphology of particles in a commercial bottle of mineral water.

Using an automated FT-IR reflection sampling accessory, the surface of a polymer-coated aluminum film was analyzed. Results were used to investigate chemical uniformity.

This app note explores a speed optimized method for rapid, accurate and precise result in less than 6 min using the PerkinElmer Clarus® 690.  

Evaluating a fully demountable torch for semivolatiles using the Agilent 5800 RV ICP-OES.

The Mox 140 kV X-ray source weighs less than 1900 grams and runs at 7 Watts X-ray tube power. Applications include X-ray spectroscopy, backscatter, and X-ray imaging.

A new generation of SERS substrates combines the convenience of SERS substrates with the reproducibility of SERS performed in a solution, with a hybrid approach.

Counterfeit goods cost businesses and consumers billions annually. Spectroscopy authenticates products by identifying spectral differences in substandard materials.

Since antigens tested for quantity of attenuated or devitalized viruses or bacteria often consist of proteins, analytical quantification of total protein is a method of choice.

We introduce a very compact, air-cooled, pulsed laser and show it can be used successfully in conventional LIBS experimental set-ups for identifying metals.

Prepare solid and liquid samples with TXRF. Ideal for ultra-trace elements at sub-ppm levels due to the optical configuration, which results in low-background noise.

Catalyst-free high-temperature combustion and highly sensitive HiPerSens® detection allows the detection of nitrogen at concentrations from 15 µg/l up to 10,000 mg/l.
