Microplastics Analysis of Sea Salt by FT-IR Mapping

In our first video, we analyzed the microplastics content of sea salt by FT-IR imaging. This time we take a look at another very feasible approach in microplastics analysis: FT-IR mapping.

Infrared micro spectroscopy a widespread technique that allows to detect and identify MP particles. Visit our website, where we discuss different approaches to MP analysis and compare them to find the best solution.

please mention the brand of FTIR. We have Shimadzu FTIR where we could only asses the type of Microplastics but not the size. could you please name some brands that allows to check size of microplastics as well. Thanks in advance

Bonjour, Est-ce que la mesure ce fait par transmission? si oui qu'elle est la taille max mesurable? l’épaisseur et l'opacité de la particule doivent être un problème, non?

I've never been a big fan of sea salt considering where it comes from.
