Laboratories at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) are investigating antibodies to fight Ebola virus, including the three antibodies recently used to treat two American health care workers infected with the Ebola virus.

The warm beauty of amber was captivating and mysterious enough to inspire myths in ancient times, and even today, some of its secrets remain locked inside the fossilized tree resin. But for the first time, scientists have now solved at least one of its puzzles that had perplexed them for decades. Their report on a key aspect of the gemstone’s architecture appears in the ACS journal Analytical Chemistry.

Thermal analysis is the broad category of at least 20 techniques that measure some fundamental property of matter as a result of adding heat. For example, dilatometry measures volume changes upon heating, thermomechanical analysis quantifies the change in dimension of a sample as a function of temperature, and thermo-optical analysis detects changes in optical properties on heating or cooling.

Particle sizing methodologies range from straightforward sieving and sedimentation analysis to advanced laser-based light scattering techniques, microscopy/imaging, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and others.

This application note aim to show that elemental mapping and small spot analysis create new dimensions of investigation in process control, research and development, even at low power with the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ PERFORM’X WDXRF analyzer 1500 Watt.
