Real-time Picometer Resolution Spectrometers

Frank Vanhaecke and the Atomic & Mass Spectrometry Research Group of Belgium’s Ghent University recently developed a novel method allowing for direct isotopic analysis of mercury (Hg) in solid samples without any prior sample treatment being performed.

Sandra Wunsch, Application Specialist at Analytik Jena, gives us exciting insights into the analysis of bread for potassium bromate using spectroscopy and why the SPECORD PLUS is the best choice for this.

Jason Dwyer of the University of Rhode Island has been named the recipient of the American Electrophoresis Society’s Mid-Career Award, which honors exceptional contributions to the field of electrophoresis, microfluidics, and related areas by an individual who is currently in the middle of their career.

Researchers have used Raman spectroscopy and chemometric methods to reveal how glucose affects normal and cancerous brain cell metabolism. Their findings highlight specific biomarkers that can distinguish metabolic changes, potentially aiding in cancer research and treatment.

In this, the first of our 2024 SciX Award Winner interviews, Craver Award recipient Conor L. Evans of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (Charlestown, Massachusetts) discusses his recently published study demonstrating sparse spectral sampling stimulated Raman scattering.
