Summary
A semi-automated reflectance-FTIR spectrometry system was developed for microplastic analysis, designed specifically for large microplastics and capable of dramatically accelerating the otherwise labor-intensive identification process while maintaining accuracy in polymer type determination.
The (semi-) automation of microplastic analysis would dramatically accelerate the otherwise time-consuming and labor-intensive process, enabling more efficient identification of global microplastic distribution.
