From Pharmaceutical to Agricultural Applications: What’s New in NIR?
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy offers quick analysis with no sample preparation for many fields, but it is particularly popular for process monitoring, materials science, and medical uses. NIR has also seen applications in agriculture from the very start of the technique, but new instrument capabilities are poised to offer even more to that field. Benoit Igne, a principal scientist at GlaxoSmithKline in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, recently spoke to us about his work using NIR and areas where he thinks the technique has growth potential, specifically process analytical technology and agriculture. |

SERS: An Update of Progress Made
The last five years have produced a body of work describing the role of the plasmonic properties of metals in enhancing the signals in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We now foresee production of surface-enhancing films and particles that could provide reproducible Raman signals for SERS use in environmental and biomedical studies. |

Lineshapes in IR and Raman Spectroscopy: A Primer
The shape of the peaks in infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy are often not well understood. Bandshapes largely depend on interactions between vibrating molecules and their environment. An understanding of this relationship can enhance spectral interpretation and can explain unexpected behaviors. |
