Common adulterants found in Manuka honey include beet, corn and rice syrups. The differing photosynthetic pathways in the plants used to produce these adulterants generally means that different techniques are required to detect them. Mid-Infrared spectroscopy with Adulterant Screen™ technology, can provide rapid detection of all three adulterants without the need for solvents or time-consuming sample preparation
This work shows an on-site, rapid and low-cost technique for the accurate measurement of flower potency. FT-NIR spectroscopy provides rich information regarding the chemical composition of cannabis flower. When combined with chemometrics, the FT-NIR offers unparalleled speed and simplicity that cannot be matched by traditional techniques. PerkinElmer Spectrum Two NIR with the Near Infrared Reflectance Module (NIRM) is used to quantify total THC and total CBD in dried cannabis flower. The use of FT-NIR directly at the grow site would reduce overall research and development costs for cultivators.
Glycerol (or glycerin) is a colorless, odorless liquid that is generally safe for human exposure and consumption. It has many uses in the food, pharmaceutical and personal care industries due to its range of versatile properties allowing it to act as a sweetener, lubricant and humectant. Unscrupulous suppliers may adulterate glycerol to increase their profits. Diethylene glycol (DEG), the most common adulterant, has a number of properties similar to glycerol and is roughly three times cheaper. However, ingestion of DEG is toxic and thousands of reported cases of DEG poisoning have resulted in illness and fatalities worldwide.
The current FDA safety limit for DEG in glycerol is 0.1 % by weight. This study shows that using mid-infrared spectroscopy can detect DEG at that level.
Today’s plastics are some of the most used materials on a global volume basis. Broadly integrated into today’s industrial and commercial lifestyles, they make a major, irreplaceable contribution to virtually every product category.

The International North West 200 motorcycle road race is Ireland’s largest outdoor sporting event where skill and performance are pushed to the limits. To keep the focus on the riders and the bikes, the North West 200 requires each team to use a race-supplied control fuel. Determination of each team’s fuel compliance must be as fast and accurate as the race itself – so the outcome can be confirmed in real-time.
When it comes to testing, race organizers depend on highly accurate results within 10 minutes of sample collection. With that goal in mind, Euro M-Sport conducted exhaustive research on the available analytical options and instrumentation that would meet the specifications of the NW 200 fuel testing requirements.
Innovation is the lifeblood of industrial polymer development – the push to improve materials or develop new ones infuses new life into the industry from R&D through to QA/QC. Manufacturers are continually challenged to ensure effective quality control and streamline processes while meeting stringent standards. Increasingly they must design for recycling and/or reuse in an ever more waste-adverse economy, keep a watchful eye on costs and stay ahead of the competition.
In response, we've gained years of experience developing a range of analytical capabilities to address a wide range of polymer analysis needs.

PerkinElmer is equipped to help the grain industry in its quest to feed the world – nutritiously and economically. Our testing and analysis solutions encompass the three primary areas required for complete knowledge of grains and their derivatives – composition, functionality, and safety.
For higher educational institutions to continue to attract the highest caliber of students it is critical to have up-to-date technologies accessible in teaching laboratories. Historically, operational budgets have been limited and with intermittent use, universities could not justify the purchase. However, the PerkinElmer’s Avio® 200 ICP-OES overcomes this barrier with new technology dramatically reducing the cost of operation for research and low throughput laboratories at institutions such as Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
Adding value to Western Norway’s educational program, the Avio 200 provides students with the opportunity to develop relevant analytical skills. With the unique optical design, the Avio 200 only requires a 10-minute warmup when powered on – it is perfect for an academic setting where the instrument will see intermittent use throughout a day or month. Combined with the low argon consumption while in operation resulting from the flat-plate design, the Avio 200 is the perfect instrument for universities to use in both teaching and research scenarios.

The Polymer Market consists of a huge diversity of manufacturers of industrial products running many different processes yet still facing similar challenges. There is more and more pressure to achieve high product quality and reduce costs in order to stay one step ahead of the competition.
The FDA defines data integrity as “completeness, consistency, and accuracy of data. Complete, consistent, and accurate data should be attributable, legible, contemporaneously recorded, original or a true copy, and accurate (ALCOA)”. ALCOA itself has evolved to ALCOA Plus, which incorporates two of the fundamental definition terms as stated by the FDA; complete, consistent, enduring, and available. Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 is mandatory for pharmaceutical companies and their suppliers to sell products into the United States, and also applies to other related industries.
PerkinElmer’s Spectrum™ 10 Enhanced Security (ES) software platform for infrared spectroscopy provides structural requirements and features to assist with the needs for ensuring data integrity and compliance. It affords the system owner the ability to comply with regulations and incorporate features into the validation plan to exhibit compliance. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how Spectrum 10 ES meets the technical requirements for 21 CFR Part 11.
