New research published the journal Biomedical Optics Express describes a smartphone-compatible spectrometer held and directed like a pencil. According to the article's authors, this novel device could ...

Explore how Raman spectroscopy supports quantitative pharmaceutical analysis by enabling accurate measurement of active ...

Spectral images, which contain more color information than is obtainable with a typical camera, reveal characteristics of tissue and other biological samples that can't be seen by the naked eye. A new ...

The composition of complex mixtures of molecules can be determined using NMR spectroscopy. Each of the thin glass tubes is filled with an extract of sea water that contains a few milligrams of ...

[Project 326] wanted to know exactly what gas was in some glass tubes. The answer, of course, is to use a spectrometer, but that’s an expensive piece of gear, right? Not really. Sure, these cheap ...

Researchers in Japan have devised a novel and simple method to measure nano/microplastic concentrations in soil using spectroscopy at two wavelengths. Current techniques for measuring ...

In smart manufacturing, timely and accurate data flow is critical. Manufacturers seek to monitor every step in their process to ensure optimal results. However, significant challenges include ...

A recent study explored rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) as a high-throughput, real-time alternative. By analyzing metabolomic fingerprints from pig neck fat, REIMS was combined ...
