Application Notes: General

Why waste development time? Our sensitive Raman & NIR optical benches transition easily from lab R&D to volume OEM to speed time to market, with no loss of performance.

This application note describes HR ICP-OES with high-resolution optical system, superior sensitivity and matrix tolerance to achieve lowest LOD for trace element analysis in complex water-alcohol-oil samples

Quality control techniques Functionality of modern ICP-OES instruments Techniques to prevent human errors in the lab

The measurement of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur isotope fingerprints of PM2.5 particles on quartz filter papers allows source identification.

With isotope fingerprints sources of pollution, monitor water and air quality and track environmental change across space and time can be traced. Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry detects the “isotope fingerprint” of a sample, a unique chemical signature that changes from sample to sample across the environment.

Hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope measurements on roasted coffee samples trace the origin of coffee beans based on unique trends observed from their isotopic fingerprints.

Synthetic copies of endogenous steroids are chemically and pharmacologically identical to their endogenous analogs. Analyzing isotopes of the steroids provide characteristic isotope fingerprints of urinary steroids and offer a discrimination framework.

Analysis of cocaine seized from an “aircraft drop” in Uruguay led to the discovery of a previously unknown coca growing region in northern Bolivia.

This application note shows the ability of PerkinElmer's Avio® 500 ICP-OES to achieve RSDs < 0.1% for matrix elements in simulated battery materials, thanks to its ability to perform true simultaneous measurements.

This work illustrates the ability of PerkinElmer’s Avio® 200 hybrid scanning ICP-OES to accurately and reliably measure impurities in aluminum at levels specified in the London Metal Exchange.

In this complimentary eBook “Are you measuring ICP-OES samples more than once? – How to stop time-wasting remeasurements”, we present the facts about the cost of remeasuring ICP-OES samples.

Calculating the impact of remeasuring ICP-OES samples Instrument-related problems that cause remeasurements and what to do about them Finding and addressing sample-related problems that cause remeasurements

This application note provides insights for the transition of optical nanostructures from design to volume NIL manufacturing using wire grid polarizer as an example.

Mid-IR spectroscopy with an instrument such as the Ocean MZ5 can help to streamline the production of isopropyl alcohol and other complex solvents.

Fluorine’s NMR properties provide the chemist both additional tools as well as additional challenges in regards to complete structure elucidation.

Renishaw’s RA802 Pharmaceutical Analyser was used to detect small amounts of different polymorphic forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient in a generic drug powder.

This application note demonstrates analysis of elemental impurities, such as arsenic, in vitamin B12 according to USP chapter , using triple quadrupole ICP-MS.
