Single-particle ICP-MS (spICP-MS) has the capability to size and count particles as small as sub-10 nm at ultratrace levels. It has been widely accepted as a powerful tool in many fields of study, for example single-cell analysis by mass cytometry or CyTOF, environmental analysis, and industrial nanotoxicology. Its superb sensitivity and selectivity often distinguish it from other particle analysis techniques for many applications.

This presentation will cover two recently developed applications in two critical semiconductor processes: ultrafiltration and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). Single-particle ICP-MS demonstrated its ability to advance the metrology to measure, for the first time, some important attributes of these processes. For example, spICP-MS was used to successfully measure size-exclusion retention of nanoparticles by ultrafiltration membranes, and to quantify the size changes of ceria nanoparticles before and after CMP processes. The fundamentals and applications of spICP-MS will be discussed in more detail in the presentation.

An ID test must be capable of unequivocally assessing the analyte to be implemented in a cGMP environment. In addition to providing portability and through-container analysis, effective warehouse ID testing solutions must therefore be selective and dependable. This talk will provide to the audience an overview of spatially offset raman spectroscopy (SORS) and handheld SORS spectrometer deployment in a GMP environment and will discuss the differentiation of Opadry film coating systems through plastic liner of different colors and other raw materials like polysorbates 20 and 80 through amber bottles and amino acids and buffers through white polyethylene container.

Advances in FTIR and UV-Vis sampling interfaces have eliminated the need for transmission cells and cuvettes and offer considerable time and cost savings. Conventionally measuring liquids requires the use of a demountable or flow cell mounted in a transmission accessory for FTIR and the use of expensive glass or quartz cuvettes for UV-Vis. The use of these cells and cuvettes is time consuming and can be inefficient and error prone. This webcast will show fast, easy and reliable ways to measure liquid samples using FTIR and UV-Vis, completely eliminating the need for cells. The Cary 630 FTIR allows fast liquid sample analysis with the unique DialPath module in comparison with the traditional liquid cell. The use of the Cary 60 UV-Vis with fiber optic probes eliminates the need for cuvettes in UV-Vis applications.

The performance of the DialPath is equal or better compared to the traditional way of using flow or demountable cells

The fiber optic dip probe for UV-Vis measurements eliminates the need for cuvettes leading to higher sample throughput, less cleaning and cross-contamination, and ultimately boosting efficiency

Microplastics in the environment are fast coming into focus as we are beginning to understand just how far these man-made products have made their way into eco-systems and food chains alike. The use of plastics has been growing for decades, and now small plastic microbeads are also used in everyday products such as cosmetics, toothpaste, and personal care products. Contamination in our waterways, air, and food (such as bottled water) from these microplastics (1 micrometer to 5 mm in size) is gaining significant public interest due mainly to their emergence as an environmental and potential human health threat.

While regulators are trying to understand the extent and toxicity of the problem, researchers and analytical methods bodies are working towards standardized analytical solutions to characterize these particles in terms of chemical identity, size, shape, and total mass.

Mid-infrared and Raman spectroscopy are fast emerging as leading techniques for this work. They are non-destructive and effective, and while they have benefits over traditional methods, neither methods are fast or easy.

The new 8700 LDIR Chemical Imaging system with a fully automated workflow for microplastics changes the game. Gone are days where an expert spectroscopist needs to fill detectors with liquid nitrogen before setting up a complex system for a 4-hour scan, all that before the computer needs to process gigabytes of data per sample. The 8700 LDIR provides all of the benefits of mid-infrared spectroscopy in an easy-to-use and fast solution.
