Inorganic Ventures has announced that the company is relocating its U.S. base of operations from Lakewood, New Jersey, to Christiansburg, Virginia. A state-of-the-art manufacturing facility will be constructed at the Falling Branch Corporate Park within the year, bringing jobs and business opportunities to the surrounding community.
The company's relocation was designed to help the manufacturer meet the needs of an expanding operation and workforce. The new facility will take advantage of the most current technology and laboratory design concepts, and it has been designed to be 100% friendly to the environment.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
The Effect of Heat Exposure on BPA and Phthalate Content in Commercial Bottled Water
May 8th 2024This study aimed to assess the levels of phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) in various popular bottled waters compared to tap water. Additionally, it investigated whether exposure to high temperatures, akin to those in a car during summer, would elevate these levels. Using GC/MS analysis, samples were examined. Results showed that phthalates and BPA were either absent or well below safety thresholds in all bottled and tap water samples. Moreover, heating did not significantly affect phthalate concentrations, and BPA was undetectable in all samples.
