Singapore, Aug. 11 -- Shimadzu will launch aparticle analysis systemin Japan and overseas, specialising in the analysis of microplastics, at global scale. This system can quickly calculate the number of particles, area, volume, mass, and individual particle qualities of microplastics based on the measurement results from an infrared microscope or an infrared Raman microscope.

This is the first analytical instrument in the world that can automatically analyse the mass and volume of microplastics using an infrared microscope or an infrared/Raman microscope.

This system is based on an infrared/Raman microscope or an infrared microscope, and is used together with the dedicated software "AMsolution," which additionally includes a newly devel...
