A Flexible Optomechanical Arm for FTIR Analysis of Samples Outside the Sample Compartment

An articulated opto-mechanical arm, the daVinci arm, was developed to enable in situ analysis of large samples. read more
Identification of Recyclable Polymers with a Handheld Near-Infrared Spectrometer

Recycling of plastics and polymers, while in existence for some time, has seen significant growth driven by a combination of increasing regulation, escalating disposal costs, rising feedstock prices,... read more
Measuring Yield Stress

Various materials, typically gels or dispersions with a high concentration of suspended particles, can behave either as elastic solids or as liquids, depending on the degree of force or stress to ... read more
Efficient Use of Spectral Information Through Multiline Analysis in ICP-AES

The classical way to conduct the determination of an element in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is to select a single line with adequate sensitivity and that is free... read more
Three Issues of LIMS/Laboratory Informatics That Can Cost Money

Laboratory information management system (LIMS) and laboratory informatics (LI) projects still have too many significant cost overruns, as do many other software projects. read more
A Microdispenser for LC Separation and MALDI MS Analysis

Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) is a mass spectrometry protein identification technique based on peptide mass detection and is useful for differential expression analysis in the search for drug ... read more
Lead in Vinegar: Determination and Possible Sources

Exposure to contaminant lead remains a public concern because of its pervasiveness in the environment and increasing evidence of its sublethal toxicities at exposure levels lower than previously ... read more
Minimizing Liquid Delivery Risk: Pipets as Sources of Error

This is the first in a series of articles entitled, “Minimizing Liquid Delivery Risk,” addressing the most common causes of liquid delivery error and providing guidance on how to address and overcome... read more
Advancements in Photoacoustic Spectroscopy: A Powerful, Cost-Effective Tool for Process Control and Troubleshooting at All Scales of Fermentation

There is an increasing demand for a dedicated, high-quality, and easy-to-use instrument to measure off-gas exhaust in laboratories and industrial settings during the fermentation process. read more
A Novel Approach for Profiling VOCs in Water Samples Using a Purge-and-Trap Concentrator

U.S. EPA drinking water Methods 524 and 8260 implement purge-and-trap (P&T) technology and are widely used by laboratories for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). read more
Ultrasensitive Calorimetry: One of the Best-Kept R&D Secrets

The first calorimetric test most of us performed was probably either the classic Styrofoam cup test or the more sophisticated bomb (combustion chamber) calorimeter, which allowed the measurement of ... read more
A Systematic Computational Approach for Identifying Small Molecules From Accurate-Mass Fragmentation Data

The relative ease of obtaining accurate-mass fragmentation data on modern LC-MS instruments, faster computers, and the availability of large molecular structure databases have recently made it ... read more
A Sterile, Reliable Laboratory Setup for Low-Volume Tuberculosis Antibiotic Discovery Assays

One-third of the world’s population is infected with tuberculosis, and one person dies every 15 sec from the disease. read more
From Desert Storm to Lipstick: Applying Viscosity Measurement to New Challenges*

The development of solid-state acoustic viscometers opens a wide range of new applications in both the laboratory and the field. read more
Minimizing Liquid Delivery Risk: Operators as Sources of Error

This is the third in a series of articles entitled “Minimizing Liquid Delivery Risk,” addressing the most common causes of liquid delivery error and providing guidance on how to address and overcome ... read more
