Vibrational Spectroscopic Imaging: Theory, Application, and Advances
Rohit Bhargava, the winner of the 2012 FACSS/SciX Innovation Award, explains new research into the theory of vibrational spectroscopic imaging that can lead to the development of instruments with new capability for both IR and Raman imaging, for use in various fields, including disease diagnosis.

Increase Accuracy of FT-IR Analysis

DOWNLOAD WHITE PAPER
demonstrating the inconsistency in background levels of water and CO2 for an unpurged, sealed, and desiccated FT-IR spectrometer as compared to a sealed and desiccated FT-IR spectrometer with the sample compartment purged. The purge enhances instrument reliability by reducing the need for maintenance and increases the accuracy of analysis by eliminating inconsistencies in background levels of CO2 and water.
