FT-IR
Powerful New Identification Tools with OMNIC Specta Software
Garry Ritter, Ph.D. and Michael Bradley, Ph.D., Thermo Scientific
Short learning curves and consistent operator-to-operator performance of tasks makes OMNIC Specta accessible and gives great confidence in the results obtained.
 
Rapid Analysis of Trans Fat Content
Joni Miller, Mike Garry, and Michael Bradley, Ph.D., Thermo Fisher
For the analysis of lipid material, FT-IR provides information difficult to obtain using other techniques. The implementation of a diamond ATR crystal further enhances the technique by providing a rugged sampling interface
 
Far-IR Analysis of Heavy Metals
Michael Bradley, Ph.D. and Federico Izzia, Thermo Scientific
A diamond ATR accessory with entirely reflective optics accesses the full spectral range of the diamond enabling collection of far-IR spectra. This opens new possibilities for the rapid and simple analysis of plastics and incinerator ash.
 
Setting the Benchmark for Confidence in FT-IR Microscopy
Federico Izzia and Claude Robotham, Ph.D., Thermo Scientific
The Nicolet iN10 FT-IR microscope addresses performance verification, locating and focusing samples, error-free experiments, and interpreting results with extraordinary power. Users will benefit from the speed of analysis, exceptional ergonomics.
QAQC
FT-IR in QA/QC Laboratories and on Manufacturing Floors
Michael C. Garry and Zbigniew Stanek, Thermo Scientific
FT-IR spectroscopy offers almost unlimited analytical opportunities in many areas of production and quality control. It covers a wide range of chemical applications, especially in the analysis of organic compounds.
 
Confident Data Collection: Spectrometer Performance Assurance
Federico Izzia and Mike Bradley, Ph.D., Thermo Scientific
New FT-IR instrumentation and software are designed and built with performance verification as a core metric. QCheck software provides instant quality control activity through spectral comparisons or semi-quantitative analyses.
 
Rapid, Accurate Quality Verification with QCheck
Mike Bradley, Ph.D. and Federico Izzia, Thermo Scientific
Designed to satisfy the toughest quality laboratory standards, QCheck software can be used to compare two materials or, in a more exacting analysis, to discriminate based on subtle differences.
raman
Automated Data Collection for SERS
Timothy O. Deschaines, Ph.D., Thermo Scientific
Individual sampling can make the SERS technique too tedious to be practically applied. Combining multiple sample slides and automation enables real world sampling scenarios with speed and reduced human error.
 
Characterizing Carbon Materials with Raman Spectroscopy
Joe Hodkiewicz, Thermo Scientific
Raman is highly sensitive to symmetric covalent bonds with little or no natural dipole moment such as carbon-carbon bonds, providing a wealth of information about the structure for carbon nanomaterials.
