Summary

Researchers released Microplastic Solution Library 1.1, an updated Raman spectral reference library covering 28 synthetic polymer types plus carbonate and silicate minerals, optimized to avoid spectral conflicts from pigments while supporting environmental microplastic identification.

Important: How to best use the libraryThis Raman spectral library is designed for the identification of common and uncommon synthetic polymer microparticles and is suitable for all environmental sample types. Below are the reasons behind its structure: Composition of the libraryThe library contains 30 spectra in total: 28 synthetic polymers and two minerals (carbonate and silicate). Only a single spectrum is included for each polymer type so as not to overload the library or increase spectral matching times unnecessarily. Exclusion of pigmented plasticsThe library does not contain coloured (pigment-containing) plastics because specific pigments exhibit unique Raman signals. Since the same pigments can be used across different polymer types, a pigment is not relevant to polymer identification and may lead to misclassification. Guidance for Similarity-Based Searches (SBS)When using the library in Similarity-Based Searches (SBS), spectral matches must be confirmed by a trained interpreter even if the hit-quality index (HQI) is high. HQIs are only referential and should be used as a primary sorting tool, not as a decisive measure of identification. We recommend setting a lower threshold below which polymers are excluded (e.g., 80%; depending on the polymer type) and above which spectral matches are manually evaluated by a trained interpreter. Spectra were collected from in-house plastic and non-plastic compounds. compounds were measured using a 532 nm He–Cd laser (7.2 mW, 8% power) with a 100× objective, yielding a lateral resolution of ~1 µmSpectra were collected from 200–3400 cm⁻¹ with a 600 g/mm grating and ~1 cm spectral resolution.der of 1 cm-1. Acquisition parameters:Raman measurements were carried out at 20°C using a Horiba LabRAM Soleil (Jobin Yvon, France). The samples were excited at 8% (7.2 mW) power output with a high stability air-cooled He–Cd 532 nm laser diode utilizing a Nikon LV-NUd5 100x objective. The lateral resolution of the unpolarized confocal laser beam was on the order of 1 µm. Spectra were generated in the range of 200–3400 cm−1 using a 600 grooves/cm grating with a 100 µm split. The spectral resolution was on the order of 1 cm−1. Using the Spectragryph spectral analysis software V1.2.17d (Dr. Friedrich Menges SoftwareEntwicklung, www.effemm2.de/spectragryph), all raw spectra were processed using adaptive baseline correction with 15% coarseness.
