Polymer Analysis with TD-NMR TD-NMR (time domain NMR) is a fast and reliable method of analysing the physical and chemical properties of polymers, plastics and rubbers. The technique can be used in all steps of production: Raw material / educt characterisation Polymerisation / reaction kinetics Raw / unmodified polymer analysis Final product analysis and quality control The […]
TXRF is a fast, simple and cost-effective alternative to ICP-MS, a technique commonly used for contamination analysis in laboratories.
Bruker Micro-CT Software: CT-Analyser (CTAn) CT-Analyser, or CTAn, is a software package for Bruker SkyScan X-ray Micro-CT scanners, for analysis and visualisation by surface rendering. CTAn analyses and processes micro-CT datasets in 2D and 3D for morphometry and densitometry. The software has recently been updated to version 1.15, with a range of new features and improvements. Blue Scientific is […]
Trace Analysis for the Food Industry TXRF (Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry) delivers multi-element trace analysis, with detection limits in the ppb and ppm range. The technique is extremely flexible and can be used in a variety of industries, including food and beverage analysis. Read on for more specific food industry applications; Blue Scientific is […]

TXRF Roadshow – Live Demos We’re taking the S2 PICOFOX on the road, to show you what TXRF (Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry) analysis can do. During the first week in October (5th-9th October), we’ll be bringing the instrument to labs around the UK, along with an expert applications scientist from Bruker. Book a session now, […]
A new instrument from Anasys Instruments is the only nanoscale IR spectroscopy and imaging platform with both robust nanoscale IR absorption spectroscopy via AFM-IR and sub-20nm complex optical property imaging via sSNOM (scattering scanning near field optical microscopy). Follow Blue Scientific on Linked In for updates: UPDATE: This system has now been replaced with the Bruker Anasys […]
Diagnosing Surface Blooming of Polymer Additives Additives impart improved performance characteristics in polymer systems such as anti-oxidation, lubrication and UV protection. Surface blooming of additives can alter the bulk and surface properties of the material, leading to a range of undesirable outcomes from mechanical failure to cross contamination. For plastics in medical devices, changes of […]
