Spectroscopy Spotlight
Advanced vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FT-IR spectroscopic imaging are important tools for understanding molecular interactions and using them to help engineer new products and processes. Sergei G. Kazarian, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, UK, has used these advanced imaging techniques for applications as varied as studying crude oil fouling, analyzing pharmaceutical formulations in microfluidic channels, examining biological systems and biopsy samples, and investigating the pigment-oil interaction in priceless paintings at the microscale level. We recently spoke with him about this research. read more

Raman Depth Profiling of Laminate Sub-micron Layers
Polymer laminates are used in a wide range of industries from food to pharmaceuticals. By adhering together multiple polymeric layers of different chemistry and physical properties, a protective barrier can be achieved to suit different packaging applications. A new application note shows how confocal Raman microscopy can be used to analyze thin layer laminates for product quality control, failure analysis, and reverse engineering.
