Appliance designers and manufacturers commonly rely on plastic parts as essential components. To ensure these parts meet high-quality standards, it’s important to take both functionality and the ...

The interaction of infrared radiation with molecules can be analyzed using a technique called the infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Although, the most popular analysis technique is absorption spectroscopy, ...

IR spectroscopy is an excellent method for biological analyses. It enables the nonperturbative, label-free extraction of biochemical information and images toward diagnosis and the assessment of cell ...

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 ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

This article introduces the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy for identifying unknown materials and monitoring reactions. While the techniques are pretty similar, ...

Laser Components has expanded its infrared detection portfolio with cryogenically cooled mercury cadmium telluride (MCT, ...

Atomic force microscopy has long relied on the ability to acquire nanoscale chemical information while simultaneously characterizing nanomechanical properties. This article explores a new means of ...

Standard methods for protein quantitation rely on colorimetric assays like those involving protein-copper chelation (BCA and Lowry assays) and dye-binding based detection (Bradford and 660 Assay) or ...
