Goals and Objectives: Develop a methodology for the isolation and analysis of microplastic particles using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy Isolate microplastic particles from solutions using filters that allow direct spectroscopic analysis Determine the size and shape of the microplastic particles using image analysis Identify the type of microplastic using FTIR or Raman spectroscopy by […]
Interview with Dr. Kameda, Environmental Microplastic Researcher
As an Associate Professor at the Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan, Dr. Yutaka Kameda has worked on several research projects regarding microplastics in the environment including establishing analysis methods to measure microplastics with FTIR spectroscopy. In this interview, you’ll read about his environmental research as well as his thoughts on the current and future state […]
Seminar: Karakterizacija materijala i analiza mikroplastike
Poštovani poslovni suradnici, Organiziramo seminar gdje ćete imati priliku čuti informacije o izazovima i rješenjima za analizu mikroplastike iz okoliša i hrane te više informacija o tehnikama karakterizacije materijala. Predavanja će održati kolege iz kompanije ThermoFisher Scientific te ćete imati priliku saznati novosti iz tehnika FTIR, Raman, NIR, UV-VIS i reologije . Seminar je besplatan […]
Microplastics Analysis by FTIR and Raman
Small particles. Big impact. Beaches, clothing, bottled water, fish, beer, the air and honey all have one thing in common. They each contain microplastics. Less than 5 millimeters in size [1], these confounding microparticles are an urgent concern as they invade food chains and slip through purification systems undetected. Microplastics are small plastic fibers […]
