Background/Applications: Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that are responsible for the red, purple, and blue coloring in fruits and vegetables. The colored anthocyanins are used as natural food colorants, and as potential pharmaceutical ingredients that give various health benefits. Anthocyanins possess antibacterial and antioxidative qualities that have the ability to improve visual and neurological health and…
Read MoreConducted by: David Ademe, Avantes Inc. Theme: Solar Simulator/Irradiance Background/Applications: Spectral irradiance is the irradiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. The two forms have different dimensions: spectral irradiance of a frequency spectrum is measured in watts per…

Read MoreClimate change and population expansion have a direct impact on agriculture. An increasing number of people need to be fed but changing weather patterns can cause complete crops to fail. Inevitably, farms must produce more with less, and frequently under increasingly difficult conditions. Growing seasons are shorter, there are fewer resources such as clean water,…
Read MoreWe are returning to AACC! Join us in Chicago for the upcoming American Association of Clinical Chemistry Annual Scientific Meeting plus Clinical Lab Expo July 24th – 28th. We will be at booth 1970 and our representatives Ryan Flaherty and Nathan Robey will be there discussing how Avantes is a leader in spectroscopy! Why should…
Read MoreFor over 120 years, agriculturalists have been aware of the importance of soil testing, particularly elemental analysis, to ensure the health and productivity of crops. Historically this has been accomplished by randomly sampling soil across a representative region of the field and sending them off to a laboratory to be analyzed using chromatography, mass spectrometry,…
Read MoreConducted by: David Ademe (Applications Engineer), Avantes Inc. Theme: NIR Reflection Spectroscopy Background/Applications: Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from 780 nm to 2500 nm). Typical applications of NIR spectroscopy include the analysis of pharmaceuticals, materials, pulse oximetry, and food products. Along with food products,…
Read MoreIntroducing Sara Beard! Originally from Philadelphia, Sara moved to Colorado to obtain her Chemical Engineer B.S. from CU Boulder, with a minor in economics. With a keen interest in Research and Development, she hopes to one day work as an R&D Engineer in the alcohol, fragrance, or dye industry. This summer Sara will work directly…
Read MoreSpectroscopy Methods for the Gemology Industry Spectroscopy has been long used in the gemology industry for characterization and identification, with nearly every known spectroscopic method playing a critical role. Transmission provides insight into gemstone clarity, reflectance provides colorimetric data, fluorescence & absorption are excellent at detecting bulk defects, and Raman & laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)…
