The microbiome of every food product is incredibly diverse and can include everything from innocuous background flora to foodborne pathogens. Starter cultures, spoilage organisms, and probiotics are ...

The sample preparation before conducting an infrared spectroscopy (IR) study is as critical as the study itself, and the samples which are difficult to dissolve in any IR-transparent solvent are mixed ...

IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

All fibers were analyzed directly without additional modification or sampling accessories. The O-PTIR spectra resemble transmission-like IR spectra in non-contact (far-field) mode. Through spatially ...

Infrared and Raman spectroscopies can observe different types of molecular vibrations. Using both methods on a compound provides a more complete molecular picture than either alone. But the two ...

Successful interpretation of infrared spectra isn’t about memorizing peak positions, it’s about pattern recognition! Join Brian Smith of Big Sur Scientific as he discusses the fundamentals of infrared ...

Research into spectroscopy in the mid-IR spectral region has made several recent breakthroughs, spurred by potential uses of the technique in biophotonics and medical imaging. But development of ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, or AFM-IR, is an analytical method used for chemical identification in a materials sample at the nanoscale. AFM-IR incorporates both the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...
