In this tutorial, we examine the techniques for preparing samples for transmission analysis using single windows, compression cells, and, finally, epoxy “pucks” and microtomes.

By providing automated tools and guidance, an ECS would aim to streamline the calibration process, improve calibration transfer, enhance operator efficiency, and improve the overall consistency and reliability of analytical results produced using advanced chemometrics and machine earning techniques.

This review highlights very recent advancements in several key spectroscopic methods, including atomic, vibrational, molecular, electronic, and diffraction techniques.

This article explores the current landscape of global critical raw materials (CRM) trends in research and the applications of atomic spectroscopy (AS), including inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and X-ray analytical techniques in their identification of diverse industrial and environmental media.

Spectroscopy Magazine sits down with Benjamin T. Manard of the Chemical Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, Tennessee), who will be receiving the Lester W. Strock Award, given by the New England Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, this October.

A recent study looked at the use of Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in ensuring the safety and efficacy of dairy products.
