Application NoteSpectroscopy

Introduction to X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy

In this application note, Horiba presents an introduction to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy as a spectroscopic technique, as well as how it can be used in qualitative or quantitative manner for single-point and multi-point analayses and element imaging.


Application NoteSpectroscopy

Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Water Quality

Discover how excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy can be used to determine the amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM) contamination in water. The FluoroMax spectrofluorometer from HORIBA Scientific is shown to enable fast and accurate DOM analyses.

The science of beauty: Exploring characterization techniques in cosmetics

The creation of innovative cosmetics products with demonstrated effects relies on deep scientific knowledge of biological matrices (skin, hair, tooth), the development of efficient and safe active ingredients, optimized formulations, and an instrumental evaluation of the performance.

In this webinar, Florian Formanek, Global Life Science Market Manager at HORIBA will discuss how HORIBA instruments cover a large panel of cosmetic testing applications, from particle size characterization of emulsions, pigments or fillers, through to the molecular analysis of hair chemistry, surface functionalization with smart coatings or tribology analysis, to the assessment of formulation composition and stability. They also cover spreading on substrates or interaction with packaging, to contamination or nanotoxicity studies, to the ex vivo or in vivo objectivation of endogenous skin compounds, topical actives penetration, and the impact of environmental factors (UV exposure, blue light, pollution).

Key learning objectives

  • Discover how rapid Raman chemical mapping can provide information on the surface physicochemical behavior of formulations
  • Learn how to use fluorescence spectroscopy for the analysis and quality control of raw materials (such as essential oils, natural extracts, hair dyes, or vitamins), as well as for the investigation of endogenous skin markers and actives deposits
  • Explore the applications of atomic force microscopy in the nanoscale characterization of materials, coatings, and biological matrices

Who should attend?

  • R&D scientists in cosmetics, personal care, chemistry, and pharma companies with activities in beauty and healthcare
  • Academics working in the field of skin and hair research (including dermatology and pharmacy)
  • Clinical research organizations (CROs)

Certificate of attendance

All webinar participants can request a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.
