Microplastic Analysis

Microplastic Analysis

The decomposition of plastic waste in natural settings has given rise to significant global concern, with microplastic particles (MPP) increasingly appearing in the environment – encompassing water, soil, food, and more.

BRUKER stands at the forefront of MPP analysis solutions. Our comprehensive product line includes:

• FTIR microscopes, namely LUMOS II and HYPERION 2000, are apt for targeted measurements of specific particles, boasting a spatial resolution of up to 5 µm.
• The Senterra II and RamanScope III Raman microscopes are designed for swift mapping with capacities reaching 100 spectra/s and a spatial resolution as detailed as 1 µm.
• For those looking at broader scopes, the LUMOS II-IMG and HYPERION 3000 FTIR imaging systems, equipped with a focal-plane-array (FPA) detector, enable the scanning of expansive areas at speeds of 1000 spectra/s and with unparalleled spatial resolution going below the diffraction limit (around 0.5 µm).

In addition, our OPUS software provides several essential functions:

• A broad spectrum of chemical imaging features
• Automated particle detection during individual measurements
• An automatic spectrum search capability for each detected particle in our extensive spectral database
• A statistical function to track the dimension and chemical makeup of larger particles
• To showcase our equipment’s efficacy, we present this informative video:

BRUKER’s unmatched imaging prowess, coupled with tailored software capabilities and exclusive add-ons, places us as the pinnacle choice for MPP analysis in the industry. Streamline your MPP chemical composition and distribution analysis with our user-friendly solutions.
