Spectroscopy is planning to publish the next issue of The Application Notebook in December. As always, the publication will include paid position vendor application notes that describe techniques and applications of all forms of spectroscopy that are of immediate interest to users in industry, academia, and government. If your company is interested in participating in this special supplement, contact:
Michael J. Tessalone, Group Publisher,
(732) 346-3016
Edward Fantuzzi, Publisher,
(732) 346-3015
Stephanie Shaffer, East Coast Sales
Manager,
(508) 481-5885
It is important that each company's material fits within the allotted space. The editors cannot be responsible for substantial editing or handling of application notes that deviate from the following guidelines:
Each application note page should be no more than 500 words in length and should follow the following format.
All text will be published in accordance with Spectroscopy's style to maintain uniformity throughout the book. It also will be checked for grammatical accuracy, although the content will not be edited. Text should be sent in electronic format, preferably using Microsoft Word.
Refer to photographs, line drawings, and graphs in the text using arabic numerals in consecutive order (Figure 1, etc.). Company logos, line drawings, graphs, and charts must be professionally rendered and submitted as .TIF or .EPS files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Lines of spectrums must be heavy enough to remain legible after reduction. Provide labels and identification. Provide figure captions as part of the text, each identified by its proper number and title. If you wish to submit a figure or spectrum, please follow the format of the sample provided below.
Figure 1: The ion suppression trace is shown on the bottom. Column: 75 mm à 4.6 mm ODS-3; mobile-phase A: 0.05% heptafluorobutyric acid in water; mobile-phase B: 0.05% heptafluorobutyric acid in acetonitrile; gradient: 5â30% B in 4 min. Peaks: 1 = metabolite, 2 = internal standard, 3 = parent drug.
Each table should be typed as part of the main text document. Refer to tables in the text by Roman numerals in consecutive order (Table I, etc.). Every table and each column within the table must have an appropriate heading. Table number and title must be placed in a continuous heading above the data presented. If you wish to submit a table, please follow the format of the sample provided below.
Table I: Factor levels used in the designs
Literature citations must be indicated by arabic numerals in parentheses. List cited references at the end in the order of their appearance. Use the following format for references: (1) T.L. Einmann and C. Champaign, Science 387, 922–930 (1981).

AI and Dual-Sensor Spectroscopy Supercharge Antibiotic Fermentation
June 30th 2025Researchers from Chinese universities have developed an AI-powered platform that combines near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy for real-time monitoring and control of antibiotic production, boosting efficiency by over 30%.
Toward a Generalizable Model of Diffuse Reflectance in Particulate Systems
June 30th 2025This tutorial examines the modeling of diffuse reflectance (DR) in complex particulate samples, such as powders and granular solids. Traditional theoretical frameworks like empirical absorbance, Kubelka-Munk, radiative transfer theory (RTT), and the Hapke model are presented in standard and matrix notation where applicable. Their advantages and limitations are highlighted, particularly for heterogeneous particle size distributions and real-world variations in the optical properties of particulate samples. Hybrid and emerging computational strategies, including Monte Carlo methods, full-wave numerical solvers, and machine learning (ML) models, are evaluated for their potential to produce more generalizable prediction models.
