DISCRIMINATION OF EXTRACTED ANIMAL FATS USING LASER-INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY ASSISTED WITH PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS

Pathogenic Escherichia coli strain discrimination using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

A pathogenic strain of bacteria, Escherichia coli O157:H7 enterohemorrhagic E. coli or EHEC , has been analyzed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy LIBS with nanosecond pulses and compared to three nonpathogenic E. coli strains: a laboratory strain of K-12 AB , a derivative of the same strain termed HF4714, and an environmental strain, E. coli C Nino C . A discriminant function analysis DFA...

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful analytical technique that can be used for the detection and characterization of materials. In LIBS, a focused laser beam is used to generate a plasma plume on the surface of solid and liquid samples or inside the sample volume of gases, liquids, and aerosols. Each excited atom in the plasma emits a unique set of spectral lines, particula...

Esta revisão descreve os aspectos fundamentais, a instrumentação, as aplicações e tendências futuras de uma técnica analítica que se encontra em seu estágio de consolidação e que está em vias de estabelecer o seu nicho entre as técnicas espectrofotométricas modernas. A técnica é denominada Espectroscopia de Emissão em Plasma Induzido por Laser (em inglês, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, L...

Analyzing Glass with Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

The specific elemental composition of industrial glass products influences several of its physical properties, such as heat and shock resistance, transparency, and chemical reactivity. Chemical analysis of glass samples is therefore required to support both R&D and production operations. Unfortunately, full elemental analysis of glass by a method like ICP-OES requires digestion with hazardous a...
