The Hidden World of Microplastics - Analyzing the Tiny Troublemakers


Microplastics, tiny in size but massive in impact, present a challenging analytical challenge. Understanding their presence, composition, and sources is essential for safeguarding our ecosystems. Analyzing microplastics demands precision and dedication, unraveling a world unseen by the naked eye.


Analytical methods in studying microplastics are sophisticated and diverse, with varying approaches required for tests conducted in water, wastewater, food industries, and beyond. The challenges lie in the microscopic scale and varied sources of these pollutants. Precise analysis necessitates different methodologies fit to the specific sample and environment.


🔬 Analyzing microplastics requires a multitude of methods, tailored to different environments. These include sieving, digestion, density separation, filtration, and drying during pretreatment. Identification methods encompass a range of techniques, from stereomicroscopes to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. These techniques enable the measurement of particle size distributions, shapes, colors, surface morphology, and polymer compositions.


🚀 At SATOORNIK, we've pioneered an innovative and cost-effective visual technique for precise device validation. This approach ensures accuracy and efficiency without the need for extensive equipment, making it economically friendly and suitable for rapid validation of our devices.
