Accelerating Soil Health Assessment: High-Throughput Analysis with IR and EPR Spectroscopy

Discover how Infrared (IR) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopies enable rapid, multi-parameter soil analysis. This webinar covers practical sample preparation, instrument setup, and calibration strategies for IR, followed by EPR applications in detecting free radicals, transition metals, and environmentally persistent radicals, advancing soil health assessment and contamination monitoring at scale.

Join us for an in-depth webinar on accelerating soil health assessment using Infrared (IR) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Learn how IR enables rapid, multi-parameter analysis of soil properties such as carbon content, clay, pH, and cation exchange capacity from a single spectrum, along with strategies for robust calibration and transferability. Explore EPR applications for detecting free radicals, transition metal ions, and surface-stabilized environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) in soil, which impact pollutant transformation and environmental health. This session will demonstrate how IR and EPR deliver fast, cost-effective, high-throughput soil characterization to support classification, management decisions, and sustainable soil health monitoring.
