Wow, I learn something new every day. They talk about matrix effects in #AnalyticalChemistry but blood analysis is no doubt full of stuff like this, where taking biotin interferes with... a lot of seemingly unrelated blood tests!

Field trip to gather some first VOC samples of the invasive Asian hornet (Vespa velutina).
Really productive day, thrilled to get the data in the lab later.

What are we measuring at easyXAFS?

XES Fe Kβ (Kbeta) spectra of Fe oxides (Fe2O3) at low weight percentages in carbon binder (PEG) as low as 0.25 wt. % Fe.
Measurement time of 4 mins per sample, XES is well suited for low elemental concentrations.
