Magritek (Wellington, New Zealand), a provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, and LEAP Technologies (Carrboro, North Carolina) have formed a partnership to develop automated solutions for the NMR products. Magritek has appointed LEAP as the distributor for its Spinsolve benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers for the U.S. and Canadian markets.
LEAP provides laboratory solutions for chromatography and mass spectrometry, offering automation in areas such as research and development, pharmaceutical, polymer, food processing, forensic, and academic laboratories.
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.
