Current Trends in Spectroscopy Techniques and Applications
During the past year, Spectroscopy examined current trends in various atomic and molecular spectroscopy techniques, such as single-particle ICP-MS, LIBS, IR spectroscopic imaging, and Raman spectroscopy, and in applications such as nanoparticle analysis and the determination of metals in pharmaceuticals. This article presents highlights of that coverage and offers insight into current trends in each area.
FT-IR Supplement Articles
Identifying Organic Impurities in Counterfeit and Illicit Tobacco Using Portable ATR-FT-IR Spectroscopy
Sulaf Assi, Phil Moorey, Paul Kneller, and David Osselton
The potential of ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy for the identification of potential toxic impurities in illicit and counterfeit tobacco products is investigated.
