Simple, Automated Measurements of the Photocatalytic Properties of Colorimetric Species Using the Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer With Fiber Optics
The Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer is the new, improved successor to the award-winning Cary 50 UV-Vis. In this short review, this instrument platform was evaluated for its potential to measure small (40 µL) samples of methylene blue in situ during exposure to high-intensity UV irradiation. Methylene blue is combined with other compounds used in a variety of applications, including use in cosmetics and sun screen products and environmental remediation in contaminated air and polluted water.
Improving Biofuel Production Through Feedstock Screening With ICP-OES
March 10th 2025Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is the preferred technique for inorganic contaminant analysis of biodiesel, and PerkinElmer offers two technologies to support it. The Avio 220 Max and Avio 550 Max, combined with PerkinElmer's expertise, can help labs achieve accurate feedstock analysis demanded by today's market.
