Disinfecting water, often with chlorine that reacts with DOC, can lead to carcinogenic disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Join this online course and learn how to use HORIBA’s A-TEEM spectroscopy to measure DOC and its composition, as well as contamination from wastewater and petroleum products.

If a particle exists, what it looks like and what it is made of? Interested? Join this webinar, presented by Derek Nowak, VP Technical Operations at Molecular Vista. He will demonstrate how one can chemically characterize sub-100 nm particles and monolayer residues.

The need to understand surface and interface behavior has driven the development of instruments and methods that provide surface-sensitive information distinct from the underlying bulk material - Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), time-of-flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲 & 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 📆 Tuesday, November 18, 2024 🕔 10:00 (CET) Through several case studies, Dr. Norb Biderman at Physical Electronics will present how state-of-the-art surface analysis instruments and analytical methods serve as pivotal tools in bringing technologies to market.
