The optimal pathlength for an on-line FT-NIR process measurement needs to be determined by experimentation. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of measuring water in acetone by NIR spectroscopy at various pathlengths using an adjustable Spyder™ process flow cell, as a prelude to full-scale implementation of NIR process analysis on a production line.
Solving Our Plastic Problem: Advances in Microplastics Analysis
October 2nd 2024Modern 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.
