A Steady Ride
This year's salary survey showed continued success for spectroscopists. Throughout the last decade, salaries in the spectroscopy field have increased fairly steadily, with a few years of oscillation in either direction. MORE » |
SAY GOODBYE to flammable and expensive gases.
SAY HELLO to the NEW Agilent 4100 MP-AES.
The Agilent 4100 Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer is the most significant advancement in atomic spectroscopy in decades. It runs entirely on air, which means your lab can perform unattended multi-element analyses while eliminating flammable and expensive gases.
 Watch this video to learn more about the Agilent 4100 MP-AES.

Quantitative Determination of Genotoxic Impurities Using Xevo TQD
Xevo TQD is the only integrated system in its class that enables simultaneous acquisition of high quality quantitative and qualitative data from the widest range of experiments.
This application note demonstrates a rapid, simple and powerful approach to genotoxic impurity identification at the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) using the Xevo TQD when used in a qualitative manner with the ASAP Probe and production confirmation (PIC).  Learn More…

Researchers Tout New Non-metal Plasmonic Material
In an effort to bridge the gap between photonics and electronics, researchers from Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana) have coaxed a thin film of titanium nitride into transporting plasmons, tiny electron excitations coupled to light that can direct and manipulate optical signals on the nanoscale.

Raman Crystallography, in Theory and in Practice
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
2:00 PM EDT
We will discuss the theory and general application of polarization/orientation (P/O) micro-Raman spectroscopy based on the interdependence of incident electric field, Raman polarizability tensor dictated by the symmetry point group of the crystal, and scattering vector.
