Tracking Microplastics in the Environment via FT-IR Microscopy

Microplastics from clothing, abrasive action on plastics, or engineered microbeads as found in some exfoliating cosmetics are showing up in many environmental systems. FT-IR microscopy is a useful tool in the analysis of microplastics, providing visual information, particle counts, and particle identification.

Assessing False Noncompliance and False Compliance with Limits Stated for Physicochemical Parameters in Red Wines Using a MIR-PLS Model

When analytical techniques that depend on multivariate calibration models are used to analyze commercial products, the risks of false compliance and noncompliance must be assessed. This study presents an example from the application of a mid-IR partial least squares model to the analysis of seven parameters in red wine.

Fast Quality Evaluation of Bulk Polymers and Products Using FT-NIR Spectroscopy

FT-NIR spectroscopy for the quantitative determination of key physical parameters in bulk polymers and products, including density and melt index (MI). These measurements can often be made with little or no sample preparation.

Looking Below the Surface of Breast Tissue During Surgery

In this article, we present a method that provides prompt detection of the presence of cancer cells inside the 2-mm margin of tissue surrounding the tumor after excision using spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS). SORS was developed to detect subtle changes in soft tissue spectra in the 100–2000 ?m range and tested on excised breast tissues. The results display a very high specificity and sensitivity (100% and 95%, respectively) of classification between positive and negative tumor margins. SORS is a clinically feasible method, suitable for the real-time, intraoperative assessment of tumor margins at the micrometer level.
