Automated analysis of microplastics based on vibrational spectroscopy: are we measuring the same metrics?

Mingtan Dong et al.

Summary: The traditional manual analysis of microplastics has its drawbacks, such as being labor-intensive, inaccurate in identification, and lacking uniformity. Automated analysis strategies based on vibrational spectroscopy, including laser direct infrared, Raman, and focal plane array-Fourier transform infrared imaging, have been developed. Each strategy has its advantages and limitations in terms of quantification, detection limit, size measurement, and material identification accuracy and speed.

Identification and visualisation of microplastics via PCA to decode Raman spectrum matrix towards imaging

Cheng Fang et al.

Summary: This study compares two decoding approaches for visualising microplastics and nanoplastics via Raman imaging. The first approach maps Raman intensity at characteristic peaks when standard spectra are available, while the second approach uses PCA to decode the spectrum matrix for complex samples without standard spectra. The PCA-based algorithm shows advantages in analysing and identifying microplastics from other materials.

Flow-Through Quantification of Microplastics Using Impedance Spectroscopy

Beckett C. Colson et al.

Summary: Understanding the sources, impacts, and fate of microplastics in the environment is crucial for assessing potential risks. Impedance spectroscopy has been demonstrated as an effective method for rapidly quantifying and identifying microplastics in aquatic ecosystems, allowing for reliable detection, sizing, and differentiation from biological materials based on electrical properties. This technology enables the direct identification of microplastics in water without the need for visual sorting or filtration, showing its potential for flow-through sensing applications.
