Application Notes: General

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.

This application note explores how SERS-active nanoparticles can be used to identify thiram and other pesticides on fruit.

BaySpec works with customers to design and manufacture OEM systems that range from hyperspectral to UV-vis-NIR engines, and from detectors to light sources, and more.

In this application note, we describe how Raman spectroscopy and related optical sensing techniques are effective for discriminating natural from artificial gemstones.

In this application note, we use a high-sensitivity Ocean Insight spectrometer to generate a standard curve for bovine serum albumin (BSA).

In this overview, we explore optical sensing tools available for virus detection, with a focus on rapid testing and screening for viruses including COVID-19.

Brochure highlights Ocean Insight’s application capabilities, with examples from characterization of paint properties to monitoring of lens material curing processes.

In this application note, we use a Raman spectrometer to measure the curing rate of an epoxy as a model for monitoring the kinetics reaction of industrial processes.

In this application note, we report how a high-resolution spectrometer monitors changes in argon emission after gases are added to a closed-reaction plasma chamber.

Santiago Arellano, a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, describes his work using Ocean Insight spectrometers to measure the properties of aerosols.

This application note describes how infrared transmission measurements can be used to address the concentration measurements.

A valuable accessory to the FT-IR instrument that can be used for the analysis of micro-environments in lubricants and grease is the FT-IR microscope.

Using the AutoStepwise mode gives the highest degree of resolution between successive decomposition events like ones associated with complex, multi-component materials.

This application note shows how a Clarus® 690 GC was used for the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons, specifically Diesel Range Organics (DRO).

This application note describes how the PerkinElmer DSC 8000's ease of use, multi-sample capability, and powerful analysis software make it an ideal measuring tool for WAT.

This application note demonstrates the transformation of used oil data in accordance with the ASTM standard using data visualization software program TIBCO Spotfire®.

This work demonstrates the ability of PerkinElmer’s Avio 550 Max ICP-OES Oils system to analyze in-service oil samples following the implementation of method D5185.
