Overview

Microplastics are recognized as a globally ubiquitous pollutant, with continued increase in public attention and academic research. With the rising scientific interest and research, the demand for optimizing technologies along with harmonization and standardization for analytical approaches is becoming more critical.

This eSeminar will provide an update on the latest trends, technologies and best practices related to the identification, detection and measurement of Microplastics in environmental matrices.

Expert scientists will be presenting on:

Summary of popular techniques in microplastics analysis
Snapshot of some key regulatory and standards efforts
Importance of collecting good, representative data
Optimizing IR microscopy technique including sample preparation
Reliable polymer and chemical identification by the hyphenated technique TGIR-GC/MS

Key Learning Objectives:

Learn how to utilize IR Microscopy to accurately identify contaminants quickly and easily
Latest trends in technologies for microplastics analysis
Methodology approaches for various environmental matrices
Best practices from sample preparation to data collection and associated analysis

Who Should Attend:
