Spectroscopy

Determining the components, and their proportion, in a protein sample is essential for the improvement of candidate formulations and characterization of final formulations.

Banknotes, passports and professional licenses have high value and are at risk for counterfeiting, tampering and forgery.

New analytical technology combinations promise simultaneous solvent-free measurement of every element on the periodic chart. And that’s something worth shouting about.

GPC/SEC is mainly used for the characterization of macromolecules including synthetic and natural polymers (including polysaccharides) as well as proteins or RNA/DNA. This white paper provides an introduction to the technique in 30 minutes.

Four different polymers are analyzed by GPC/SEC to investigate the effect of molecular weight, dispersity and molecular structure on the final properties of the polymer.

Raman spectroscopy is used to analyze fuel-air ratios in an engine, with a view to understanding efficiency.
