Microplastics and much smaller nanoplastics enter the human body in various ways, for example through food or the air we breathe. A large proportion is excreted, but a certain amount remains in organs ...

"Our method for detecting micro- and nanoplastics can be applied to clear body fluids such as urine, tear fluid or blood ...

In collaboration with the company BRAVE Analytics, researchers at TU Graz have developed a method to detect nanoplastics in ...

This comprehensive product family includes modular spectrometers, integrated lasers, complete Raman spectroscopy systems, and OEM modules from 532-1064 nm, configurable to the needs of each ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that can detect the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in clear body fluids. They are now using the technique to assess whether contact lenses release ...

A new method for detecting nanoplastics in liquids allows for a more comprehensive analysis of single particles.

In this case, Raman spectroscopy uses Raman scattering, a process that sees how light interacts with molecular vibration. This happens at a different frequency than the laser. Through this, the ...

Microplastics and the much smaller nanoplastics enter the human body in various ways, for example through food or the air we breathe. A large proportion is excreted, but a certain amount remains in ...

What is new is the combination of optofluidic force induction with Raman spectroscopy. Now the spectrum of the laser light scattered by individual particles in the liquid is also analysed. A small ...
