Spectroscopy Spotlight
In recent years, there have been significant advances in the application of vibrational spectroscopy to the analysis of forensic samples. Igor K. Lednev, a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University at Albany, the State University of New York, has been developing the use of Raman spectroscopy for a variety of forensic applications, including the determining the age of blood stains and linking gunshot residues to specific ammunition–firearm combinations. He recently spoke to Spectroscopy about his work. read more

Agilent's 5110 ICP-OES with a vertical torch provides the ultimate configuration for determining tough samples while achieving detection limits expected from an axially viewed plasma. The plug-and-play torch with MFC control of all plasma gases eliminates the torch alignment process that is often required when analyzing challenging samples, and ensures consistent and reproducible results.
