📊 The Power of Powder (or Give Mercury the Slip)  Want to ditch the liquid mercury used to measure geometric density? Try powder pycnometry instead! Powder pycnometry measurements for geometric density have been performed using the Anton Paar Autotap on two samples and compared with results from mercury measurements.

Gold has always fascinated mankind with its dazzling luster and lasting charm. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a fascinating scientific method for testing its authenticity and purity. One of the often overlooked methods involves testing with magnets. In this article, we dive into the science behind testing gold’s magnetism and explore how this method can help ensure the purity of this precious metal. #testing gold with magnet If you want to get know more about the xrf analyzer, pls click the link and contact us:https://lnkd.in/dDraHxJe

How about analyzing your elements of interest with the scope of interference elimination using reaction and collision mechanisms in the same method, selectively? Provides fast, reliable results, free of false positives due to interference and with the best sensitivity in its elemental analyses. using the simple quadrupole system, ICP MS ICAP RQ Plus.

Understanding the Spectrochemical Series is key to predicting the strength of metal-ligand interactions! Weak field ligands like I⁻ have a small ∆, while strong field ligands like CO cause a larger ∆, affecting the electronic structure and properties of metal complexes. Inorganic 😍

CLEO is ongoing. Please do not miss Jakubs talk on optimization and simplification of FTIR by Friday afternoon (May 10). Improvement of Classics does still make sense. We are convinced, that in some aspects FTIR really just starts now! Picture: Fire protection in the lab has been a real concern that prevents epeople from setting up an experimental FTIR instrument on their own. So, one topic of investigation has been lower power but highly efficient emitters (made by Infrasolid). Problem: The FTIR community is used to 5 µm (2000 cm-1) as reference point for instrument specificiation which results in a tendency towards "overillumination" and hence bulky systems. 10 µm (1000 cm-1) would be a more useful and realistic point in practice.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) : is typically used for determining the crystal structure of materials, while X-ray fluorescence (XRF) : is commonly used for elemental analysis. So, if you need to understand the arrangement of atoms in a material, go for XRD. If you're interested in knowing the elemental composition of a sample, XRF is the way to go.

What to look for in an X-ray Diffraction Instrument for Material Analysis XRD is a powerful analytical technique suitable for analysing a material’s bulk physical properties, such as crystalline structure and phase composition. It is commonly used in research and industry to characterise solid solutions, identify patterns, and many other applications. In this blog post, we explore what key features to consider when choosing an XRD instrument for material analysis: https://bit.ly/3HhRFme

NIJI-2 Wavelength tunable light source The wavelength of 300 to 1150 nm can be freely selected with a dial, The NIJI-2 is ideal as an excitation light source for fluorescence measurement and spectroscopic image measurement. It is suitable for excitation light source for fluorescence measurement and light source for spectroscopic image measurement. https://lnkd.in/eccxecap

If you have heated oil in a pan, you might have seen convection currents in the form of regularish polygonal patterns. Did you know that thin fluid films that are heated from below, can also deform in regular patterns and that spots may even dry out? Together with Gabriele Brüll and Bastian Hilder, we have studied these thermocapillary thin films and proved the existence of such regular patterns and film-rupture solutions.

You will rarely come across an user of laser diffraction based particle size analyzer who has not encountered a "ghost peak" or secondary mode and wondered whether its an artefact or an actual particle.  When making routine measurements, this can reduce reproducibility and raise unnecessary doubts over the quality of the source material. If you are one of those who has encountered such a situation then help is at hand, thanks to the Size Sure feature now available with the Mastersizer 3000+ from Malvern Panalytical.
