Expert insights

SelectScience® is to host an interactive webinar on the basics of sample preparation for XRF, FTIR and other analytical techniques requiring pelletized samples. Registration for the online event on July 25, is now open – if you cannot attend on the day, you will receive a link so you can watch it later at a time that suits you.

Will Campbell, Technical Insight Coordinator, Specac, will provide expert advice about the types of samples you can analyze using XRF and FTIR and explains why pellet preparation is important for optimized results. There will also be a discussion on the applications and challenges of pressing pellets and test specimens for XRF, FTIR and more.

Attend the webinar to find out how you can make sample preparation choice easy – learn how specific applications utilize different press equipment and discover how programmable presses can take the stress out your preparation regime. Plus, you’ll have the chance to ask any questions you may have during the dedicated Q&A session.

Register now for the live event on Tuesday, July 25, 2017 - at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT or receive the link to watch later at your leisure.

Infrared / IR SpectroscopyInfrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Equipment used for quantitative analysis includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, infrared cameras, FTIR gas analyzers, as well as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessories and pellet or film presses.

X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
