The Forgotten Microplastics Fraction – How Multimodal Submicron IR (O-PTIR) is Enabling the Measurement of sub-20 micron and even sub-micron micro/nanoplastics
Join us at the Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp. (PSC) Workshop at the 2nd Nano and Microplastics Australian Conference on Optical Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) Spectroscopy—a groundbreaking analytical method that overcomes the limitations of traditional direct IR techniques (FTIR/QCL) in microplastic analysis like limited spatial resolution and particle shape/size dependency of spectra.
O-PTIR enables the detection and characterization of microplastics smaller than 20 microns, including submicron particles, which are the most challenging to measure yet most concerning for human and environmental health, all without any particle shape/size spectral dependency.
This workshop will provide will have talks from industry leaders in instrumentation and academia, providing insights into how O-PTIR is revolutionizing microplastic research, by helping address the truly relevant scientific questions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of analytical science!
This is a two-part workshop consisting of the following speakers and talk titles
📌 Part 1:
Dr Mustafa Kansiz, PSC
“Submicron Simultaneous IR (O-PTIR) and Raman with co-located fluorescence imaging for automated ultra-small MNP measurements.
📌 Part 2:
Dr Markus Brandstatter, Recendt
“Detection of Unlabeled Micro- and Nanoplastics in Unstained Tissue with Optical Photothermal Infrared Spectroscopy”
