NanoQuest is based on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) technology, which is often favored in laboratory spectrometers because it collects spectral data over a wide range. The sensor’s patented micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology allows for a continuous-wave Michelson interferometer to be created monolithically on a MEMS chip. This enables detection of all wavelengths simultaneously, and mitigates the effects of motion on sensor stability.

Each NanoQuest comes with an optical fiber and operating software, and can be coupled to Ocean Insight light sources and accessories to configure systems for absorbance/transmission or reflectance measurements.

Typical NanoQuest NIR applications include authentication of counterfeit products including textiles; characterization and quantification of food, soil nutrients and industrial materials; and compositional analysis of bodily fluids and other biological specimens.

Differentiating single, double, and multi-layers of Graphene

For graphene, AFM-Raman imaging is especially useful for differentiating single, double, and multi-layers of graphene, including TERS (Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) and Raman difference spectroscopy. Other important properties of graphene can be probed with Thermal-conductivity Imaging, AFM - Kelvin Probe Imaging and Near-field Photoconductivity.

Foodstuffs are often characterized by mouthfeel ( crunchiness, creaminess, gumminess, etc.), with many relevant parameters being textural in nature. But understanding how foodstuffs behave outside the mouth is also extremely important to successfully carry out and optimize industrial food processing packaging and storage tasks. This webinar will discuss how surface area, porosity, pore size, density and interactions with atmospheric moisture can be qualified under controlled analytical conditions to optimize food product texture.
