Agilent Technologies

Modern society relies on plastic—However, it remains a mostly nonbiodegradable material and can take up to an estimated 400 years to break down depending on the type of plastic. This e-book examines the steps Agilent is taking to help address our plastic problem.

The Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer is the new, improved successor to the award-winning Cary 50 UV-Vis. In this short review, this instrument platform was evaluated for its potential to measure small (40 µL) samples of methylene blue in situ during exposure to high-intensity UV irradiation. Methylene blue is combined with other compounds used in a variety of applications, including use in cosmetics and sun screen products and environmental remediation in contaminated air and polluted water.

The increasing concern over microplastics in the environment and food chain is prompting potential regulations worldwide, impacting laboratories and producers. These entities will need to better understand the presence of microplastics in their products, with the development of standard testing methodologies underway and various challenges being encountered in their implementation.

Reaching sustainability and efficiency goals simultaneously is possible in RMID, a regulatory-enforced part of (bio)pharmaceutical drug manufacturing.

Protein consumption from sources such as animals, plants, and cell cultures, among others, is on the rise. Because of the increase in the use of alternative proteins in food production, manufacturers must be aware of updates to regulations and should be savvy in using ICP-MS to assess for potentially harmful elements.

Determination of Elemental Impurities in Silicon-Carbon Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries by ICP-OES

This study demonstrates the use of ICP-MS to measure very low levels of contaminants that affect lithium-ion battery performance and safety.

This study describes how to quantify 18 metals in “black mass” battery materials, obtained by recycling lithium ion batteries, using ICP-OES.

This study demonstrates accurate, multi-element determination of low-level contaminants in graphite anode material.

Food manufacturers must ensure that TiO2 is within safe levels and correctly listed on a product label. However, measuring TiO2 in food products presents some challenges for the analysis via common atomic spectroscopy. Titanium dioxide may also be present in foods as nanoparticles, which requires specialized measurement techniques if the nanoparticles are to be quantified separately. Agilent is developing the measurement methodology to help manufacturers meet these new regulations.

This on-demand webinar includes tips on using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) for elemental analysis of food.

This application note includes the method, sample prep and typical results for this analysis of difficult food matrices using an Agilent ICP-OES

In this study an Agilent 8900 ICP-QQQ operating in MS/MS mode successfully characterized TiO2 nanoparticles in various sample matrices with a particle size detection limit of approximately 30 nm.

This paper demonstrates the use of MS/MS mass-shift mode for analysis by ICP-MS. Mass-shift mode was able to successfully resolve 48Ca+ isobaric interference on the 48Ti+ ion

To comply with government regulations concerning nutrition and safety, food producers commonly use atomic spectroscopy techniques such as ICP-OES & ICP-MS. In this on-demand webinar, current analytical methods are discussed, as well as necessary microwave sample preparation techniques to enhance efficiency and accuracy for the modern food lab.

With the rising consumption of protein, there has been a focus on non-animal alternatives. Six primary sources that are now available or in development for commercial use in the food chain include: animal-based proteins (ABP), plant-based proteins (PBP), fermentation-based proteins, insect-based proteins, cell culture-based proteins, and hybrid proteins. With a call for testing, Agilent has solutions for every step of the process.

With the rise of alternative sources of protein, manufacturers of protein substitutes must ensure the safety and nutritional content of their products. Therefore, measuring heavy metals and nutrient elements is an important part of any food quality system. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the ideal technique for this application.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has proven to be an excellent tool for measuring heavy metals and other elements of interest in alternative proteins. A recent study analyzed a range of plant-based and insect-based alternative proteins according to FDA EAM Method 4.7 on the Agilent 7850 ICP-MS with highly successful results. Strategies for achieving confidence in the data were also developed.
