Read MoreConducted by: David Ademe, Avantes Inc. Theme: Grains/Agriculture Background/Applications: Absorption and reflection measurements can be used to determine the freshness of various crops, from fruits and vegetables to even grains. Not only can reflection and absorption spectra be used to identify the properties of different types of grains through chemometric models, but it can also…
Read MoreAgricultural research of today goes into feeding the world’s population tomorrow. Year after year, farmers try to produce more food out of the same resources, and rapidly changing climate conditions only heighten the pressure on the world’s food supply. Changing weather patterns means droughts deepen, floods are more frequent, extremes of heat and cold swing…

Read MoreIntroduction: Does your LIBS or plasma application require measurements into the vacuum UV below the oxygen absorption limit of 185 nm? If so, Avantes offers a great option for this need. Spectroscopic measurements conducted in vacuum environments range from reflection measurements during coating processes to high-speed plasma monitoring during a reaction. These techniques are frequently…
Read MoreThis month’s spectra celebrates the Halloween season as we measure spectra results obtained from BLOOD! Background/Applications: Absorption spectroscopy is used across a wide range of industries and is an effective form of scientific analysis in many fields of research. This includes the medical field for studying blood. For example, absorbance spectroscopy has been used to…
Read MoreIn the realm of life science research and clinical instrumentation, optical spectroscopy, and sensing play critical roles in a variety of areas. Optical spectroscopy provides an ideal means for non-destructive sampling and real-time analysis in vivo or in the lab. The instrumentation needs of these applications have evolved rapidly in recent years with the…
Read MoreBackground This spectra feature was provided by Pine Instruments as an example of a spectroelectrochemistry application that measures electrochemical response over a range of applied electrical potential and correlated against energy absorption by wavelength. Researchers Greenlee, et al. were measuring the electrochemical response of PMDI’s that were functionalized with 4-(dimethylamino) pyridinium (DMAP+) groups. The functionalization…
Read MoreElectrochemistry is an extremely valuable tool for examining the kinetics of a wide range of oxidation-reduction reactions. In these types of reactions, electrons are exchanged between atoms spontaneously, which forms the basic physical principle behind chemical batteries. Just as specific oxidation-reduction reactions can cause electron flow, i.e. current, the same process can also work in…
