Monitoring Crystallographic Phase Changes with Raman Spectroscopy (Sept 2022)

This sample prep method enables trace metals analysis in fertilizers, soil, and crops with improved accuracy and reproducibility.

Elemental analysis is crucial in a wide variety of applications from detecting toxic elements within the environment, to ensuring drinking water is safe for human consumption, to food product safety. ICP-MS—able to measure an atom’s mass—offers low detection limits in the range of parts per trillion (ppt), making it a widely used method that can detect toxic elements well below regulatory limits. This paper expands upon how new ICP-MS technology can meet the challenges associated with heightened demands for element analysis and the hurdles laboratories face when analyzing high-matrix samples.

Compositional Depth Profile (CDP) using the LECO GDS950 rapidly provides analysis of various galvanized coatings on steel.

Analyze battery materials with precision using particle size and shape analysis alongside Raman spectroscopy to reveal structure, composition, and performance insights.

This note details a microwave digestion method for Li-ion cathode samples, enabling accurate elemental analysis through ICP-OES with minimal sample loss.

With intensifying global concerns surrounding water quality, explore the benefits of UV spectroscopy for water quality management, including real-time monitoring.
