Application Note: Olive Oil Quality Assessment with UV-Vis Spectrophotometry

This application note shows how to assess olive oil quality and quantify adulterants using the DS5 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer.


Spectra, Lifetime and Quantum Yield of Upconversion Nanoparticles

This Application Note demonstrates a complete upconversion luminescence characterisation of upconversion nanoparticles using the Edinburgh Instruments FS5 Spectrofluorometer. The flexible source, detector and sample module upgrade options of the FS5 enables upconversion spectral, lifetime and quantum yield measurements to performed in a single compact instrument.


NIR and MIR Photoluminescence Spectra and Lifetime of an Er3+ Glass

This Application Note highlights how the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer can be optimised for spectral and lifetime measurements in the NIR/MIR spectral region for measuring an Er-based fluoride glass using a 980 nm laser diode and a MIR InAs-3100 detector.


Application Note: Raman Mapping of Layer Number, Strain, and Structural Defects in Graphene

In this Application Note, the capability of the RM5 and Ramacle® software for graphene analysis is demonstrated by mapping the layer number, strain, and defects on graphene films.


Transient Absorption and Singlet Oxygen Phosphorescence of Rose Bengal Photosensitiser

This application note shows how to characterise the triplet state of a common photosensitiser, rose bengal, as well as singlet oxygen phosphorescence using the same instrument, the LP980 Transient Absorption Spectrometer.


Application Note: Angle-Resolved Polarised Raman Microscopy for Determining the Orientation of Carbon Nanotubes

This Application Note demonstrates how the alignment of carbon nanotube architectures can be probed using angle-polarised Raman microscopy with the Edinburgh Instruments RM5


Application Note: Raman Microscopy for Pharmaceutical Analysis

This application note, Raman Microscopy for Pharmaceutical Analysis, gives a complete overview of the pharmaceutical applications of the RM5 and RMS1000 Confocal Raman Microscopes.


Application Note: Discrimination of Bacteria Species Using Raman Microscopy and Principal Component Analysis

In this Application Note, Raman spectroscopy is coupled with principal component analysis (PCA) to discriminate between bacterial species.


Application Note: Raman Microscopy for the Characterisation of Antihistamine Formulations

This application note demonstrates the benefits of Raman microscopy in pharmaceutical analysis and the role it can perform in assuring the quality and reliability of antihistamine medications.


Application Note: NIR Emission Spectra of PbS Quantum Dots Using the FS5 Spectrofluorometer

This application note the near-infrared (NIR) detection capabilities of the FS5 are employed to examine quantum dots (QDs). Solvent choice in this region can interfere with emission of the sample.
