Detection and Identification of Contaminations in the Manufacturing Process Using an IR Microscope
In this study from PerkinElmer the Spotlight 200i system, an automated infrared (IR) microscope, is used to rapidly detect and identify contaminants in a range of manufactured products. Using this technique even samples a few micrometers in size can be analyzed, allowing for complete quality control in the manufacturing process.
Detection and Identification of Microplastic Particles in Cosmetic Formulations Using IR Microscopy
It is estimated that there is in excess of 150 million tons of plastic materials in the world’s oceans. Much of this pollution consists of large items such as discarded drink bottles and plastic bags. However, there is increasing research into the amount of much smaller materials, termed microplastics, in the river and ocean systems which present a different type of problem for marine life. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is the established technique for identifying polymer materials and has been used extensively for identifying large (over 100 micrometer) polymer materials. For microplastics, down to a few micrometers in size, an IR microscope can be used for the detection and identification of these materials. This application note demonstrates the detection of these microplastics using an IR microscope.
