App Notes

Suppliers of photovoltaic panels for the solar industry continually evaluate and analyze panel materials, seeking ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. In this application note, NIR reflectivity of coated glass samples reveals areas of light loss and other characteristics.

To extend our vision in low light, night vision goggles use image intensifiers and optics to amplify NIR wavelengths. As this application note demonstrates, measuring transmission filters used in night vision devices benefits from the use of a high-sensitivity spectrometer.

Olive oil production is a multibillion industry, with food-grade varieties subject to regulation regarding their origin and quality. In this application note, the Ocean Optics Spark spectral sensor identifies potentially damaging adulterants and dilutions in olive oil samples.

Cefaclor is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide-range of bacterial infections including lung, ear, throat, skin, and urinary tract infections.

The manufacturing of a pharmaceutical product results in the accumulation of impurities from a variety of sources.

Peptide mapping is a common technique used to characterize proteins by analyzing the elution pattern of peptide fragments.

The current range of compounds aimed at the treatment of the common cold is quite large and comprises ingredients of a variety of chemical characteristics.

Aromatic amines have numerous manufacturing applications including the production of dyes, polymers, surfactants, drugs and pesticides.

You used to have to deal with chromatographic band broadening, low sensitivity, and long run times caused by classical fully porous silica.

As an abundant, inexpensive alternative to helium, which is becoming increasingly more costly, there is no reason why nitrogen cannot be used for BAC analysis in place of helium.
