The interaction of infrared radiation with molecules can be analyzed using a technique called the infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Although, the most popular analysis technique is absorption spectroscopy, ...

Appliance designers and manufacturers commonly rely on plastic parts as essential components. To ensure these parts meet high-quality standards, it’s important to take both functionality and the ...

Mid-infrared spectroscopy is a widely used tool for material identification and secondary structure analysis in chemistry, biology and biochemistry. However, the diffraction limit prevents nanoscale ...

Successful interpretation of infrared spectra isn’t about memorizing peak positions, it’s about pattern recognition! Join Brian Smith of Big Sur Scientific as he discusses the fundamentals of infrared ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

This article introduces the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy for identifying unknown materials and monitoring reactions. While the techniques are pretty similar, ...

Standard methods for protein quantitation rely on colorimetric assays like those involving protein-copper chelation (BCA and Lowry assays) and dye-binding based detection (Bradford and 660 Assay) or ...
