Towards Safer Cannabis Consumer Products: The Importance of testing for Heavy Metals
In this podcast we will cover how heavy metal contamination can occur during the entirety of the cannabis life cycle including: • Cultivation and harvesting • Extraction and processing • Testing and measurement • Finished Product We will also explore the impact that this type of contamination can have on consumer safety and how it is regulated.
Combining SERS and Machine Learning to Advance Single-Cell Analysis
December 13th 2024Researchers from Stanford University have combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with machine learning (ML) to enable rapid, precise single-cell analysis, offering potentially transformative applications in diagnostics and personalized medicine.
Applications and Theories of FTIR and UV-Vis Spectroscopy
December 12th 2024Light is utilized in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques and practices to gain a variety of information about materials and chemicals. These analyses can include material/chemical identification, quantitative analysis, quality control/quality assurance testing, and biological studies, among other applications. Applications, along with sample handling for both FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, will be outlined in this paper.
