Damage-Free Failure/Defect Analysis in Electronics and Semiconductor Industries Using Micro ATR FT-IR Imaging

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a non-destructive analytical technique that helps identify and monitor the chemical makeup of almost any material. Using the Agilent Cary 620 chemical imaging system damage-free failure/defect analysis in electronics and semiconductor industries using micro ATR FTIR imaging can be performed.

Monitoring Sugar Consumption and Ethanol Production During Yeast Fermentation Using a Raman Plate Reader and Multivariate Analysis
This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.

Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
