Shimadzu Corporation announced the release of the MAP-100 automatic microplastics pretreatment unit. This product is the first in the world to automate the process of extracting and collecting microplastics in oceans, rivers, lakes, and other water in the environment.
Identification of Weathered Microplastics
Measurement of Microplastics and Use of Thermal-Damaged Plastics Library
For analysis of Microplastics, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR), which excels at qualitative analysis of organic compounds, is suitable. In this section, we introduce an example of measuring microplastics of several millimeters using compact FTIR.
