ICP/ICP-MS
One of the most powerful and sensitive testing techniques, ICP/ICP-MS has found application in fields as varied as water testing, food safety, and petroleum analysis. Here, our panel of industry experts talk about all that is happening in this high-growth area. Joining us for this discussion are Shona McSheehy, Thermo Fisher Scientific; Martin Nash, Thermo Fisher Scientific; and Steven Wilbur, Agilent Technologies, Inc. More

Factors Determining Sensitivity in ICP-MS
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is renowned for its phenomenal sensitivity as an elemental analyzer. It is the most sensitive elemental spectrometric technique, with detection limits in the low parts-per-trillion or even parts-per-quadrillion range for many elements. This article examines the reasons for this sensitivity and considers how it might eventually be further improved. More

Celebrating a Milestone at Spectroscopy
As we all turn the page on the calendar and 2009 becomes 2010, it is worth noting that an especially important milestone in the history of Spectroscopy has been reached. More

Absorptive Polarizers for RGB Channels
Moxtek’s General and High Performance Absorptive Polarizers provide the same pure polarization and very high durability as their standard reflective wire-grid polarizers. Designed for the Red, Blue, and Green channels, they absorb the s-polarization rather than reflecting the unwanted light back through the system, causing image doubling or ghost imaging.

Portable Raman instrument
The portable EZRaman-I instrument from Enwave is designed to provide approximately 50 times better sensitivity than most other portable Raman instruments. According to the company, the instrument’s spectral resolution is approximately 6 cm-1 and its spectral range is 100–2000 cm-1. Enwave Optronics, Inc., Irvine, CA; Visit Enwave Online.

Spectroscopy of Microscopic Samples
QDI 2010™ microspectrophotometers measure UV-visible-NIR spectra of microscopic samples or microscopic areas of larger objects. The QDI 2010™ can measure transmission, reflectance, fluorescence, emission and polarization spectra of even sub-micron sample areas. They are also capable of thin film thickness measurements, colorimetry and imaging in the UV-visible-NIR regions. CRAIC Technologies, Inc., San Dimas, California; Visit CRAIC Technologies Online
