Pitfalls, challenges and solutions for robust, artefact-free microplastics analysis
Join Dr Mustafa Kansiz, the director of product management and marketing for Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp, in this two part event. In the first part view a webinar on how to conduct robust, reliable and accurate MPs analysis of small (<500nm) to large (mm’s) MPs on the one instrument without encountering any of pitfalls, challenges and artefacts seen with traditional direct FTIR/QCL and Raman microscopy.
In the second part watch, in real-time, a demonstration of submicron O-PTIR and simultaneous Raman microscopy being used to generate consistent and artefact free spectra of MPs <500nm to the very large (mm’s), regardless of particle shape and size.
Part 1: Webinar will cover;
- Overview of different IR and Raman spectroscopic techniques applied to MPs
- Recognizing and understanding spectral artefacts/inconsistencies and how they impact accurate MP identification
- Introduction to Submicron O-PTIR and Simultaneous Raman microscopy
- How to eliminate these spectral artefacts/inconsistencies for accurate MP identification with O-PTIR
- Complementary and confirmatory simultaneous IR+Raman spectral collection and spectral searching for improved identification accuracy
See examples applied to MPs from <500nm to mm’s and how the spectra are reliable and consistent (no artefacts)
Part 2: Live demo:
- See, in real-time, how easy it is to collect submicron IR and Simultaneous Raman data from MPs, ranging from hundreds of microns to <500nm
