Classification of Bacteria Using FT-IR

Aleksandra "Sasha" Karapetrova and Win Cowger discuss their research using µ-FTIR spectroscopy and Open Specy software to investigate microplastic deposits in remote snow areas, shedding light on the long-range transport of microplastics.

An interview with Charles Wilkins, the winner of the 2013 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Company.

Scientists have developed a novel and creative mid-infrared (MIR) hyperspectral microscope using single-pixel imaging (SPI) technology and a quantum cascade laser (QCL). This innovation offers faster, more cost-effective chemical analysis compared to traditional methods, promising new frontiers in microscopic imaging.

Bernhard Lendl and Cosima Koch of the Vienna University of Technology have developed a new method for on-line monitoring of fermentations using mid-infrared spectroscopy.

The PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FTIR spectrometer and IR biodiesel application pack enable precise FAME biodiesel analysis in diesel blends per EN14078 standards, offering a simple workflow, 0–50% calibration range, and compliance assurance for QC labs.

Using the LAMBDA 1050+ UV/Vis/NIR Spectrophotometer and ASTM E 903-20, this study measured Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) of paints. White had the highest TSR, dark green the lowest, optimizing materials for energy-efficient applications.
