Can a NIR camera be used for determining plasticizers?

05 December 2018 0 8K Report

I am trying to determine the types of plasticizers found in thermoplastic starch and their concentrations. Someone mentioned using a NIR camera to do this, based on their past experience using one for determine secondary metabolites in leaves. This this could work, 1) it would save a ton of time, and 2) it would make life way easier.
