High resolution infrared studies at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Molecular Spectroscopy Facility: Part 1
The author looks at the origins and research at the Molecular Spectroscopy Facility (MSF) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL).
Probing chiral recognition in liquid chromatography by absolute configuration modulation ATR-IR spectroscopy
The authors report on an analytical technique based on the combination of attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy and modulation excitation (ME), which enables the investigation of the interactions leading to separation at the selectand—selector interface.

Back to basics: the principles of principal component analysis
PCA is a mathematical method of reorganising information in a data set of samples. It can be used when the set contains information from only a few variables but it becomes more useful when there are large numbers of variables, as in spectroscopic data.
