Microplastics characterization by Raman microscopy

Microplastics are becoming the 21st century environmental scourge. To control it, more and more regulations are being set in all countries worldwide to monitor the amount of microparticles released in the environment. Thus, some techniques have been identified as reference methods: Pyrolysis GC-MS, Infrared microscopy, and Raman microscopy. This last one provides the best combination of information in both morphological and chemical characterization of each particle down to the micron.

During this webinar, we will present how Raman microscopy is becoming the best reference method for microplastics characterization.
