Screening Affinity Agents for Use with SERS
Christy L. Haynes, of the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota), has been working with her research team to explore the use of a rapid and facile technique to empirically screen affinity agents of diverse compositions for all manner of targets. Here, she describes the advantages of using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) for screening of polymer affinity agents for use with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).

The NanoRam®-1064 from B&W Tek is a handheld Raman analyzer for nondestructive raw material identification and verification. Utilizing the 1064nm wavelength, it minimizes fluorescence to effectively identify many more materials, even those with color. Compact and agile, the NanoRam-1064 can be used by non-technical users to rapidly identify samples in the lab, warehouse, or loading dock, helping to eliminate quarantine areas and expedite materials through the manufacturing lifecycle.

Are you doing infrared spectroscopy but feel that you are only scratching the surface? Does Raman spectroscopy confuse you and make you wonder where you can use it? Are you mystified when someone tells you that there is an enormous amount of information in infrared and Raman spectra but in school you only learned to look and see when the carbonyl disappeared after reaction? To address these needs and many others SAS is kicking off new training program at SciX. We will be offering four SAS certified courses geared to vibrational spectroscopy.

Arsenic Speciation in Krill and Other Marine Oils by Liquid Chromatography−Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry
An arsenic speciation method using LA–ICP-MS was developed to provide a more accurate procedure for the determination of arsenic species in marine oils. It was validated for the analysis of five arsenic species in krill oil, and should also prove useful when quantitating inorganic arsenic species in other marine oils.
