Isolation and Characterization of Microplastics

Microplastics contaminate marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems around the world. The growing prevalence of these contaminants requires study on their impact on human health and ways in which they can be identified and remediated.

Barnett Technical Services (BTS) has participated in a study set up by the State of California to assess methods for counting and characterizing micro plastic particles in water. This summary illustrates some of the methods BTS used in this study.

AIC FAIC ANNUAL MEETING

Catch us live at the 2021 virtual show.

LIST OF SESSIONS

View Our Exhibitor Showcase Track B
May 17 @ 10:45 AM (PDT)
Learn about the Micromanipulator and our other tools.

Visit our Exhibitor Experience
May 27 @ 1:30 – 1:40 pm (EST)
Research & Technical Studies and SPNHC Joint Session (Starts at Noon).

What we offer the Conservation Community

The Micro Support Axis Pro micromanipulator allows for sampling of very small fragments (often smaller than can be seen with the naked eye).  This is often done for measurement by FT-IR, Raman, or another analytical technique.

An example of how the Axis Pro can be used to isolate small fragments for sampling may be seen here: https://barnett-technical.com/….

The Ostec XROS MF30 X-ray microscope can be used to perform nondestructive elemental analysis using XRF.  More information on this system may be found here: https://barnett-technical.com/….

A range of sampling solutions for a wide variety of material and chemical analysis situations may be found on our Steve’s Solutions page.

Failure analysis and particle isolation in a post-COVID-19 world.

The spread of COVID-19 has led to great changes in the lives of people worldwide.  This includes the need for increased social distancing and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of spreading and acquiring disease from others and the surrounding environment. The use of PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a mask causes difficulties for failure analysis and particle isolation where precise microscopic sample handling is often required.  Precise manipulations using probes and other handheld tools while looking through a microscope, are much more difficult while wearing PPE.

The Micro Support Axis Pro micromanipulator is an excellent solution for performing precise microscopic sampling where PPE is required.

SciX 2020 virtual eXchange

We are excited to be showing an e-poster at the SciX 2020 virtual conference. The poster touches on the work we have been doing with micro plastic research instrumentation and procedure. The poster will be available at the show October 12-15 2020. We will also post it here on the site after the show.

The instruments that we discuss are the Axis Pro micromanipulator for particle isolation and the Ostec e200 Raman microscope for characterization.
