A new AI-powered chip from UC Davis can analyze light and chemicals using a device tiny enough to fit almost anywhere. By ...

A mass spectrometer is a complicated and expensive piece of equipment -- so complicated and so expensive, in fact, that most undergraduate chemistry students never get a chance to use one. Now ...

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 ...

For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called composition). Spectrometers are a type of lab equipment that uses prisms or ...

In a major advancement for decentralized health care and environmental monitoring, researchers at Kumamoto University have successfully developed a palm-sized, battery-powered spectrophotometer that ...

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

At $1 million, many schools cannot afford the latest spectrometry equipment to help students conduct experiments such as determining the composition of a polymer, detecting the presence of cocaine in ...

Chemical cross-linking (XL) is widely used to investigate protein–protein interactions (PPIs), including transient or low abundance subcomplexes in mass spectrometry workflows. However, identifying ...

On July 30, 2018, Western Illinois University was awarded a nearly $300,000 grant to buy a liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer to benefit academic research and educational programs in major areas, ...
