Growing Applications of XRF Spectroscopy: In the Field, the Factory, and the Lab
As a fast, quasi-nondestructive analytical technique, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is useful for a wide range of applications. To get a sense of the current breadth of XRF's use and its potential growth in new areas, we asked a panel of experts to comment on the most important application areas for XRF, including the challenges involved and how XRF competes with other techniques. |

ICP-MS for Environmental and Bioimaging Research
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has become a successful approach for fast, multi elemental analysis. Uwe Karst and his group at the University of Münster in Germany use ICP-MS for applications such as analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents in river water, speciation analysis to study a disease related to renal failure, and examining the distribution of a labeling compound in mouse tumor cells and macrophages. He recently spoke to us about this work. |

The Rise of an Alternative Ion Source
Primarily developed for work in metal speciation, the liquid sampling-atmospheric pressure glow discharge ionization source is moving into other areas of research, such as laser ablation. R. Kenneth Marcus, a professor in analytical chemistry at Clemson University and the winner of the 2015 Lester W. Strock award, recently spoke to Spectroscopy about his group's work developing the LS-APGD ionization source and where he sees its use heading in the future. |

In Situ FTIR Analysis of Soils for Forensic Applications
Although handheld FT-IR spectrometers now make it possible to carry out field-based FT-IR analysis of soils at a crime scene, reliable and tested protocols are not yet available for such work. Here, we discuss sampling options and describe tests of a methodology that is being developed for in situ FT-IR analysis of soil samples. |

Applications of Infrared Multiple Angle Incidence Resolution Spectrometry
Infrared multiple angle incidence resolution spectroscopy (IR MAIRS) provides a powerful new tool to determine the molecular structure and orientation in a thin film on an IR-transparent substrate. The MAIRS technique replaces a tedious, and sometimes impossible, combination of sample preparation and analysis of identical films on both transparent and reflective substrates. |
