Raman microscopy is widely used for chemical identification and chemical imaging, yet many real-world organic samples remain difficult to analyze with Raman. Biological tissues, cells, and environmental microplastic samples often exhibit strong fluorescence backgrounds, while weak scattering limits sensitivity. This can lead to researchers frequently encountering long acquisition times, uncertain particle identification, or datasets that lack the quality needed for confident interpretation and identification.Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful technique for chemical identification of organic samples but it has poor spatial resolution compared to Raman, tied to its much larger wavelengths. This webinar will discuss a breakthrough new sub-500nm IR spectroscopy technique called Optical photothermal IR spectroscopy (O-PTIR). O-PTIR provides chemical imaging and spectroscopy without fluorescence interference in seconds on organic samples such as microplastics and life sciences.This webinar will also discuss examples of simultaneous sub-micron IR and Raman spectroscopy, from the same sample region, such that the complementarity of IR and Raman without fluorescence interference in seconds as well as new laser-scanning based innovations for high-speed imaging for improved throughput. Application examples in microplastics characterization and life science research will demonstrate how challenging samples can be analyzed more reliably, how chemical specificity can be improved, and how multimodal workflows can provide actionable chemical information where traditional Raman imaging struggles.<h5>Key Learning Objectives:</h5><ul><li>Understand the fundamental limitations of Raman microscopy when analyzing samples such as microplastics and life science.</li><li>Learn about the new breakthrough O-PTIR technique that allows one to get sub-500nm spectra on organic samples with examples provided from microplastics and life sciences.</li><li>Discover how a combination of IR and Raman spectra obtained simultaneously and from the same sample location, can improve confidence in unknowns identification and provided, and also improved data quality.</li></ul><h5>Who Should Attend:</h5><ul><li>Microplastics and environmental researchers studying polymer particles in complex matrices</li><li>Cell and tissue biologists using chemical imaging or microscopy techniques</li><li>Biopharmaceutical scientists investigating subvisible protein particles, aggregates, and formulation stability</li><li>Raman microscopy and spectroscopy users encountering fluorescence or weak signal limitations</li><li>Polymer and materials scientists performing particle or surface characterization</li><li>Analytical chemists working with heterogeneous or challenging samples</li><li>Core facility managers and laboratory directors responsible for analytical instrumentation selection</li></ul><blockquote>Presenter: Andrew P.

The aromatic profile of Trigonella caerulea (blue fenugreek) develops predominantly after harvest, yet its detailed chemical characterization has long been limited by analytical challenges associated with highly volatile and low-abundance compounds. In this study, conventional GC–MS headspace analysis was complemented by high-resolution GC–MS employing cyanopropyl-functionalized stationary phases to improve compound separation and identification.While standard GC–MS enabled the detection of major volatile aldehydes and monoterpenoids, high-resolution GC–MS proved essential for resolving co-eluting compounds and identifying very volatile aroma constituents with greater confidence. In parallel, non-volatile α-keto acids were quantified by LC–MS to provide a comprehensive view of aroma precursors.Comparative analysis demonstrates that high-resolution GC–MS significantly enhances analytical depth and accuracy, allowing a more complete understanding of aroma formation dynamics during drying and storage. These results underline the critical role of advanced chromatographic techniques in elucidating complex herbal aroma systems.<h4>Learning points:</h4><ul><li>Analytical resolution matters: High-resolution GC–MS provides superior chromatographic separation and compound identification compared to conventional GC–MS, enabling reliable detection of highly volatile and low-abundance aroma compounds that would otherwise remain unresolved.</li><li>Method choice shapes interpretation: The apparent aromatic profile of Trigonella caerulea depends strongly on the analytical technology used, with advanced GC–MS approaches revealing a substantially higher chemical complexity than standard methods.</li><li>Integrated analytics are essential: Combining high-resolution GC–MS for volatile compounds with LC–MS for non-volatile aroma precursors allows a more complete understanding of aroma formation dynamics during drying and storage.</li></ul><h4>Who should attend?</h4><ul><li>Analytical chemists and method developers&nbsp;</li><li>Food, flavor, and fragrance scientists&nbsp;</li><li>Natural products and phytochemistry researchers&nbsp;</li></ul>If you cannot attend this webinar please register to receive a link to the On Demand version the following day.<blockquote>Presenter: Dr. Thomas Stegemann (Lab Manager and group leader, Christian-Alberts-University Kiel)Thomas has a Dr. in pharmacy, deep GC and GC/MS knowledge and combines both assets working for the University in cooperation with Pharma companiesPresenter:&nbsp;Petra Gerhards (Regional Marketing Manager, EMEA, AAT, Thermo Fisher Scientific)</blockquote>

Comprehensive nanoscale characterization of 2D materials using AFM Characterizing 2D materials involves examining a wide range of nanoscale structures, properties, and chemistry. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is extremely versatile, making it ideal for addressing these complexities. With AFM, researchers can investigate various aspects of 2D materials (often simultaneously), gaining detailed insights that are essential for advanced applications.<h4>Webinar Summary</h4>AFM plays a pivotal role in the nanoscale characterization of 2D materials by providing high-resolution topographical, mechanical, and electrical property mapping at the nanoscale, down to the atomic level. Identifying and characterizing single layers and multilayers is routine, while crystal orientation can often be determined with the proper choice of mode and probe. Since the AFM probe can act as a nanoscale electrode, it is possible to directly measure electrical properties of these materials at the relevant length scales between 1 and 100 nm. Photothermal AFM-IR (AFM-IR) adds localized chemical identification with nanometer scale spatial mapping by integrating infrared spectroscopy with AFM. Together, these capabilities correlate structure and chemistry, enabling comprehensive studies of complex 2D material systems. The AFM probe can also be used for nanomanipulation and nanolithography, allowing device fabrication by cutting, folding, or oxidation.<h5>In this webinar, we discuss:</h5><ul><li>Commonly used AFM modes for identification and characterization of 2D materials</li><li>Recent advancements in consistency of high-resolution 2D material mapping</li><li>Characterization of nanoelectrical properties in 2D materials through conductivity, impedance, and surface potential measurements</li><li>Nanoscale chemical identification through AFM-IR spectroscopy and mapping</li><li>Nanolithography on 2D materials, for example by tip-induced local anodic oxidation</li></ul><blockquote>Speaker:&nbsp;Bede Pittenger, Ph.D., Sr. Staff Development Scientist, AFM Applications, Bruker Nano SurfacesDr. Bede Pittenger is a Senior Staff Development Scientist in the AFM Unit of Bruker's Nano Surfaces Business. &nbsp;He received his PhD in Physics from the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) in 2000, but has worked with scanning probe microscopes for 25 years, building systems, developing techniques, and studying properties of materials at the nanoscale. &nbsp;His work includes more than thirty publications and three patents on various techniques and applications of scanning probe microscopy. &nbsp;Dr. Pittenger's interests span topics from interfacial melting of ice, to mechanobiology of cells and tissues, to the nanomechanics of polymers and composites.Speaker:&nbsp;Ming Ye, Ph.D., Applications Scientist, BrukerMing Ye earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has more than 15 years of BioAFM experience.Speaker:&nbsp;Peter De Wolf, Ph.D., Director of Technology &amp; Application DevelopmentPeter De Wolf is director for AFM technology &amp; application development at Bruker Nano Surfaces, covering all applications related to Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM).
