Measuring the Fluorescence Quantum Efficiency of Liquid Samples
Fluorescent substances absorb a characteristic wavelength of that substance and then emit a fluorescent light with a wavelength longer than the absorbed light. The ratio of photons absorbed versus emitted as fluorescent light is referred to as the fluorescence quantum yield or quantum efficiency and is associated with the fluorescence intensity of fluorescent substances.

This article describes using an RF-6000 spectrofluorophotometer with an integrating sphere attached to determine the fluorescence quantum efficiency and measure quinine sulfate.

Analysis of styrene leached from polystyrene cups using GCMS coupled with Headspace (HS) sampler
Styrene is considered as possible human carcinogen by the WHO and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Migration of styrene from polystyrene cups containing beverages has been observed. The objective of this study is to develop a sensitive, selective, accurate and reliable method for styrene determination using GCMS-HS to assess the risk involved in using polystyrene cups.

High Speed X-Ray Diffraction Analysis with Asbestos (Chrysotile) Wide Range OneSight Detector
Asbestos is a preferred construction material due to its excellent heat and acid resistance. However, the use of asbestos is gradually limited due to adverse health effects. It is mandatory to follow the asbestos concentration in any construction material according to the limit values specified in the regulations.

In this study, an example of asynchronous analysis of the chrysotile, an asbestos type, is performed using the new wide-range high-speed OneSight detector.
