Improving Si-PIN X-ray Detector Performance - Moxtek Apps Note

This excerpt from The Concise Handbook of Analytical Spectroscopy, which spans five volumes, serves as a comprehensive reference, detailing the theory, instrumentation, sampling methods, experimental design, and data analysis techniques for each spectroscopic region.

A recent study published in Meat Science highlighted how visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy, when combined with chemometrics, can differentiate lamb meat based on pasture-finishing durations.

A recent study examines widespread microplastic contamination in key Oregon seafood species, emphasizing the need for coordinated local and global efforts to reduce plastic pollution and protect ecosystems, public health, and cultural traditions.

When it comes to water analysis, it can be challenging for labs to keep up with ever-changing testing regulations while also executing time-efficient, accurate, and risk-mitigating workflows. To ensure the safety of our water, there are a host of national and international regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), World Health Organization (WHO), and the European Union (EU) that demand stringent testing methods for drinking water and wastewater. Those methods often call for fast implementation and lengthy processes, as well as high sensitivity and reliable instrumentation. This paper explains how your ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and LC-MS-MS workflows can be optimized for compliance with the latest requirements for water testing set by regulations like US EPA methods 200.8, 6010, 6020, and 537.1, along with ISO 17294-2. It will discuss the challenges faced by regulatory labs to meet requirements and present field-proven tips and tricks for simplified implementation and maximized uptime.
