Microplastics
From environment to biological samples, Rapid Identification of Microplastics in Various Samples
Microplastics, as an emerging contaminants, are widely distributed in various enviromental media, including water bodies, air and soil. It can enter the bodies of plants and animals through these media, posing significant threats to human health and the ecological environment. As a result, the detection and analysis of microplastics have garnered considerable attention. Among the existing microplastic detection methods, Raman spectroscopy holds immense potential due to its numerous advantages, such as simple sample preparation, damage-free detection, high spatial resolution, excellent compatibility with aqueous solutions, and rapid examination speed.
The P300 Confocal Raman Spectrometer is capable of performing microplastic size analysis and type identification from environmental samples and within organisms. Moreover, it can conduct histopathological specimen analysis on tissues affected by microplastic invasion, providing a powerful tool for investigating the mechanism of microplastic toxicity. This instrument enables a comprehensive assessment of the hazards posed by microplastics to the environment and living organisms.
Building on this foundation, Hooke Instruments Ltd. has developed advanced line-scanning Raman spectroscopy detection technology. This innovative technology enhances the scanning speed of microplastics by one to two orders of magnitude, offering a more efficient approach for environmental monitoring and the study of microplastics in biological systems.

Environmental Microplastic Detection Solutions
The detection of microplastics in environmental samples, such as soil and water bodies, often faces numerous challenges, including high levels of impurity interference and the need for microplastic enrichment. To address these issues, we have developed comprehensive, end-to-end microplastic detection solutions for samples from various environment, which effectively achieving the detection of microplastics. These solutions thereby provide strong support for environmental monitoring and pollution assessment of microplastics.
The Accumulation of Microplastics in Tissues and Their Impact
With the detection of microplastics in animals, plants, and even human bodies, their toxicological assessment and potential pathogenic mechanisms have drawn significant attention. The P300 Confocal Raman Spectrometer is capable of analyzing the accumulation of microplastics in animal and plant tissues. Furthermore, by analyzing changes in the Raman “molecular fingerprints” of tissue samples, it enables a comprehensive exploration of the mechanisms of tissue damage caused by microplastics.This comprehensive detection solution enhances our understanding of the distribution, accumulation, and impact of microplastics within biological organisms.
