Spectroscopy

The analytical performance of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can be improved dramatically by using an artificial neural network approach, opening up new opportunities for its application.

Three years on, and our mission to record, celebrate and scrutinize analytical science is as strong as ever.

This application note will describe the analysis of a series of dextran samples ranging in molecular weight from about 1 – 650 kDa. Structural comparisons to other polysaccharides, gum arabic and pectin are presented. Initially discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1861, dextran is a polysaccharide that has found a variety of applications, primarily in the medical field, due to its minimal side-effects and solubility in aqueous media.

Optimizing oxygen delivery improves stem cell treatment of peripheral artery disease.

Just imagine how many analytical problems would be solved if we could increase the resolution of liquid chromatography (LC) from hundreds to thousands or perhaps a hundred thousand compounds?
