IR Spectroscopy Has Changed Thanks to the Anasys IR


Anasys Instruments of Santa Barbara, California, have come out with a brand new microscope which breaks the diffraction limit in order to provide, for the first time, and exclusively, the ability to provide submicron IR spectroscopy in a simple and efficient manner. This breakthrough will result in submicron IR spectroscopy and submicron IR Imaging to be used throughout a variety of applications for a great many sciences.

With its fast, easy, and optical non-contact technique, the power to go to the submicron level has been placed into the hands of more professionals than ever before thanks to this breakthrough from Anasys Instruments – and the gap between IR micro spectroscopy and nanoscale IR spectroscopy has been bridged accordingly thanks to the realms of possibility that this device can provide.

Anasys call this scientific breakthrough the mIRage – and there are a number in supply through their trusted distributors worldwide. Some of the disciplines that stand to gain from this technique being brought to them via the mIRage IR Microscope are as follows.



  • Polymer materials research – the mIRage IR microscope has proven effectivity on thin multilayer food packing materials. For the first time, the submicron IR characterisation of thin multilayer films can be analysed without sample preparation, and with a far increased data turnaround.

  • Life Sciences – The mIRage IR microscope has been utilised by a number of researchers worldwide in order to provide conclusions in protein secondary structures. This research involving the spectra of Josephin proteins before their incubation has proved to be groundbreaking, and has helped a number of laboratories understand just how varying disease is formed. Furthermore, the mIRage builds on Anasys’ advancements in AFM-IR spectroscopy of tissue, bone, wood, biomaterial, biomineral and much more.

  • Pharmaceutical Industry – The mIRage allows the researcher to study the phase separation in active pharmaceutical ingredients with a far greater degree of simplicity and accuracy than ever before. Moving to the submicron level allows the researcher to also examine and identify phase separation of polyvinylpyrrolidone demains in a dextran matrix.

Oil And Gas Prices Review: Bloated Supply Finally Clearing

In 2015, Oil and Gas Prices were at a historic 10 year low, through Saudi Arabia and Russia – both very oil rich countries – refusing to comply with OPEC instructions on maximum oil production. Crude oil, like all resources throughout the world – is subject to supply and demand – and both countries have pushed down global oil and gas pricing through overproduction throughout 2015. This has been catastrophic for the industry, as hedges of crude oil have become more of a burden to banks and governments due to lack of demand, low pricing due to competition of cheap Russian and Saudi oil, and has also meant that the hedges themselves are costing money, due to the costs of keeping them. The slump in prices has also meant that countries and banks have been unable to sell these hedges, as they are in negative equity – worth far less than already paid. As 2016 passed, the oil and gas industry buckled down and prepared for rough times, with oil and gas exploration and production at an ...

How to Choose the Right Refrigerated Courier Service

Have you ever tried shipping fresh seafood or a life-saving vaccine across the country? Ensuring temperature-sensitive products remain in optimal condition during transit is crucial. The right refrigerated transport service can make all the difference, preventing spoilage and maintaining product integrity from pickup to delivery. The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Service Selecting the wrong courier can lead to serious issues: Spoilage and Waste – If goods aren’t kept at the right temperature, entire shipments can be lost, resulting in financial and operational setbacks. Safety Concerns – Food and pharmaceuticals that fall outside safe temperature ranges can pose serious health risks. Reputation Damage – Customers expect reliability. Poor delivery service can harm long-term trust and business relationships. What to Look for in a Refrigerated Courier Service 1. Temperature Control Capabilities Accurate Temperature Ranges – Whether transporting frozen food, chilled pharmaceu...

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...
