Lightnovo’s compact Raman microscopes provide an innovative and efficient approach to analyzing microplastics (MPs) in seawater. This advanced technology enables direct, on-site detection of MPs on filters, eliminating the need for additional sample preparation and ensuring fast, accurate results.
Samples Analyzed:
- Seawater Collection: A 10-liter sample from the Mediterranean Sea was filtered using a silicon membrane, and the residue was analyzed directly on the filter.
- Raman Specifications: The system used a 532 nm laser to scan a 10×10 mm² field with a 2 µm spot size, capturing high-resolution spectral data across 600×600 points.
Lightnovo’s Raman microscopy offers a practical and effective solution for real-time microplastics detection. Its compact design and reliable performance make it suitable for both field monitoring and laboratory use, supporting environmental research and pollution control efforts.
