Application Notes: General
A Simple, Low-Cost Approach to Improving ICP Productivity
November 30th 2016An accessory to an ICP optical or mass spectrometer is described which speeds sample analysis and reduces carryover. This streamlined switching valve accessory is easy to install and uninstall, requires minimal training, and has a dramatically lower price point
Characterizing Modified Celluloses Using Raman Spectroscopy
November 10th 2016Characterizing Raman spectra of modified celluloses in pharmaceuticals, food, and materials industries. Raman spectra are compared and analyzed to determine spectroscopic features that can be useful in determination of physical and chemical properties.
Faster Multisite Excitation-Emission Spectroscopy
November 9th 2016Excitation-emission spectroscopy provides information of multiple sites in luminescent materials. As a wavelength selective technique, however, it may lead to prolonged acquisition times when high resolution is required. In this application note we demonstrate how this can be done faster, whilst maintaining high resolution.
Raman Chemical Imaging of Disposable Diapers
November 3rd 2016Raman micro-spectroscopy is a powerful tool to identify the chemical nature of organic and inorganic materials with spatially down to about 1 μm chemical images show the distribution of individual components within heterogeneous materials.
Ellipsometric Characterization and Modeling of Different Types of Nanoparticles
September 13th 2016UVISEL ellipsometers have been used for the characterization of several systems of nanoparticles. This ellipsometric characterization involves the development of specific modeling tools available within DeltaPsi2 software.

September 13th 2016Milestone’s UltraWAVE SRC benchtop microwave digestion enables cosmetic chemists to digest up to 15 different sample types simultaneously at temperatures as high as 300°C, greatly simplifying product development workflow with an easy efficient digestion sequence.
Photoluminescence and Electroluminescence of Organic Optoelectronics
September 13th 2016Photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectroscopy is a useful technique in the investigation of organic optoelectronic devices. The instrumentation for steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence, as well as electroluminescence, is specified in this application note on organic solar cells.
Using Raman spectroscopy to analyse Li-ion battery anodes
September 8th 2016It is vital to be able to rapidly and easily analyse the composition and structure of anodes. The inVia is ideal for locating, discriminating, and quantifying the different forms of carbon present in anodes, even those with subtle variations in structure.
Inorganic Products: Mining Ores, Catalysts, Superalloys, and Ceramics
August 17th 2016The Milestone UltraWAVE can digest up to 22 different sample types simultaneously. The high temperature and pressure capability enables a complete digestion of nearly all inorganic sample types that need to be analyzed for trace metals.
