Application Notes

This work demonstrates the ability of the NexION® ICP-MS, coupled to the dedicated Syngistix™ Nano Application software module, to measure silver (Ag) nanoparticles in seawater and track their transformations over time.

EPA 8015C is a gas chromatographic method used to establish concentrations of a variety of non-halogenated volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons. For the purpose of this application, a Clarus® 690 GC was used for the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons, specifically Diesel Range Organics (DRO).

Process for the determination of petroleum hydrocarbons in the range of C10–C40 in matrixes of water, soil, and waste, with three standards methods taken as a reference.

Ion exchange method for characterization of Cr6+ in potable drinking water using NexSAR HPLC-ICP-MS Speciation Solution. Discover advantages of the inert and metal-free fluid path..

On-line solid phase extraction coupled to an LC–MS/MS system for sample enrichment and quantitation of endogenous estrogens allowing significant and efficient analyte concentration.

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

This application note describes how the routine analysis of organic solvents like kerosene can be performed with the Thermo Scientific iCAP 7400 ICP-OES Radial.

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.

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.
