Mass spectrometry is already a powerful tool for determining what kind and how many molecules are present in a given sample. But most instruments still analyze their molecules one or just a few at a ...

A spectrometer is a pretty common lab instrument, useful for determining the absorbance of a sample across a spectrum of light. The standard design is simple; a prism or diffraction grating to break ...

UC Davis electrical engineers have created a chip-sized device to measure the spectrum of visible and infrared light. The spectrometer-on-a-chip could have a wide range of applications in medicine, ...

Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone technique across various scientific disciplines, enabling precise analysis of complex samples, characterization of atom clusters and molecules, and elucidation of ...

Reliable analytical instruments like spectrometers are essential for advancing health care research and diagnostics. However, budgetary constraints often require cost-effectiveness without ...

A new prototype could supercharge mass spectrometry by analyzing thousands of molecules at once instead of one by one. The ...

A good portable Raman spectrometer bridges the gap in capability, performance, and size between benchtop and handheld Raman spectroscopy. It allows new point-of-use applications in industry and ...

“Spectrometers are critical tools for helping us understand the chemical and physical properties of various materials based on how light changes when it interacts with those materials,” says Brendan O ...
