Webinar 5: Your Next Packaging Analysis Tool - Raman Microscopy
Raman microscopy is a valuable tool for packaging analysis, with special emphasis on food-contact materials. In minutes, you can characterize multilayer material properties such as structure and thickness and can even identify layers with minimal sample handling.
In this webinar, we will discuss novel promising applications of Raman microscopy, such as:
Identification of migrants from adhesives through adjacent polymer or cardboard layers
Detection of contaminants at ppm level in aqueous and oil food simulants after migration tests
Simultaneous identification of several components of plastic materials such as base polymer, fillers, and stabilizers by means of software deconvolution tools.
In addition, we will explore how the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with silver substrates significantly improves detection limits, making Raman a fast screening tool providing a perfect complement for other, more traditional techniques in packaging analysis.
