The characteristic neutral and ionic spectral lines of various elements and molecular signatures of CN violet and C2 Swan band systems were observed. The relative hardness of all drug samples was measured as well. Principal component analysis, a multivariate method, was applied in the data analysis for demarcation purposes of the drug samples. The CN violet and C2 Swan spectral radiances were investigated for evaluation of a possible correlation of the chemical and molecular structures of the pharmaceuticals. Complementary Raman and Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopies were used to record the molecular spectra of the drug samples. The application of the above techniques for drug screening are important for the identification and mitigation of drugs that contain additives that may cause adverse side-effects.

Absorption Spectroscopy and Imaging from the Visible Through Mid-Infrared with 20 Nm Resolution
Absorption spectroscopy and imaging from the visible through mid-infrared with 20 nm resolution. Aaron M. Katzenmeyer,1 Glenn Holland,1 Kevin Kjoller2 and Andrea Centrone1* 1Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, United States. *E-mail: [email protected] 2Anasys Instruments, Inc., 325 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101, United States. Abstract Absorption spectroscopy and mapping from visible through mid-IR wavelengths has been achieved with spatial resolution exceeding the limit imposed by diffraction, via the photothermal induced resonance technique. Correlated vibrational (chemical), and electronic properties are obtained simultaneously with topography with a wavelength-independent resolution of ≈ 20 nm using a single laboratory-scale instrument. This marks the highest resolution reported for PTIR, as determined by comparing height and PTIR images, and its first extension to near-IR and visible wavelengths. Light-matter interaction enables scientists to characterize materials and biological samples across a large range of energies. Visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) light (from 400 nm to 2.5 µm) probes electronic transitions in materials [1], providing information regarding band gap, defects, and energy transfer which is crucial for the semiconductor and optoelectronic industries and for understanding processes such as photosynthesis. Mid-infrared (mid-IR) light (from 2.5 µm to 15 µm) probes vibrational transitions and provides rich chemical and structural information enabling materials identification [2]. Spectral maps can be obtained by coupling a light source and a spectrometer with an optical microscope [3]. However, light diffraction limits the lateral resolution achievable with conventional microscopic techniques to approximately half the wavelength of light [4]. -

Atomic Spectroscopy
Atomic Spectroscopy Reference Books: 1) Analytical Chemistry by Gary D. Christian 2) Principles of instrumental Analysis by Skoog, Holler, Crouch 3) Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry by Skoog 4) Basic Concepts of analytical Chemistry by S. M. Khopkar We consider two types of optical atomic spectrometric methods that use similar techniques for sample introduction and atomization. The first is atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), which for half a century has been the most widely used method for the determination of single elements in analytical samples. The second is atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), which since the mid-1960s has been studied extensively. By contrast to the absorption method, atomic fluorescence has not gained widespread general use for routine elemental analysis. Thus, although several instrument makers have in recent years begun to offer special- purpose atomic fluorescence spectrometers, the vast majority of instruments are still of the atomic absorption type. Sample Atomization Techniques We first describe the two most common methods of sample atomization encountered in AAS and AFS, flame atomization, and electrothermal atomization. We then turn to three specialized atomization procedures used in both types of spectrometry. Flame Atomization In a flame atomizer, a solution of the sample is nebulized by a flow of gaseous oxidant, mixed with a gaseous fuel, and carried into a flame where atomization occurs. As shown in Figure, a complex set of interconnected processes then occur in the flame. The first step is desolvation, in which the solvent evaporates to produce a finely divided solid molecular aerosol. The aerosol is then volatilized to form gaseous molecules. Dissociation of most of these molecules produces an atomic gas. -

Received: 1 July 2014; in revised form: 7 September 2014 / Accepted: 9 September 2014 / Published: 16 September 2014 Abstract: Worldwide, the access to safe drinking water is a huge problem. In fact, the number of persons without safe drinking water is increasing, even though it is an essential ingredient for human health and development. The enormity of the problem also makes it a critical environmental and public health issue. Therefore, there is a critical need for easy-to-use, compact and sensitive techniques for water quality monitoring. Raman spectroscopy has been a very powerful technique to characterize chemical composition and has been applied to many areas, including chemistry, food, material science or pharmaceuticals. -
