WHAT IS DYNAMIC CONTACT ANGLE (DCA)?

When we talk about “Dynamic Contact Angle” (DCA), there are two quite different subjects that may be addressed:
– Time-Dependent Contact Angle (tDCA)
– Motion-Dependent Contact Angle (mDCA)

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LASER DIFFRACTION AND HOW TO SELECT LASER DIFFRACTION PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER

At its very most basic, laser diffraction is about the relationship between particle size and the angle and intensity of scattered light. Light scatters more intensely and at smaller angles off of large particles than small particles.

WHAT IS RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY?

Raman spectroscopy is a molecular analysis technique that has been adopted by industrial, forensic, environmental and research scientists to: • Identify and quantify unknown materials (e.g., Forensic evidence, art restoration) • Understand molecular structure (e.g., crystallinity, polymorphism) • Study spatial relationships between sample components (e.g., failure/defect analysis, depth profiling) Advantages of Raman Spectroscopy You may…

USING ATOMIC FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY FOR THE DETERMINATION OF MERCURY, ARSENIC, SELENIUM & ANTIMONY FROM FOOD, FEED AND BEVERAGE SAMPLES

The consumption of food and drink is one of the main sources of exposure to toxic metals. Selenium, is an essential nutritional element and is often added as a supplement
to food for health benefits. It is also an important element in animal feed to ensure livestock wellbeing. Coupling Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (AFS) with either cold vapour generation or hydride generation has been PSA’s core
competency for over 35 years.

USING ATOMIC FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY FOR THE DETERMINATION OF MERCURY (Hg), ARSENIC (As), SELENIUM (Se), ANTIMONY (Sb) IN ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES

Soils are the major sink of these metal contaminants, while in aquatic systems, sediments are the major recipients for these pollutants. With the addition of analyte separation capabilities (which is becoming more routine) allowing for speciation studies, PSA offers powerful analytical tools to help contract laboratories, research teams and regulators alike with these determinations.
