We're excited about this brand-new #RShiny-powered web app developed by Professor Andrew Rate's team @ioauwa.bsky.social al to easily visualize polymer spectra from the FLOPP/FLOPP-e libraries without instrument software!

Mapping the invisible world of #microplastics?
Try #OpenSpecy, #siMPle, and #FLOPP-E (with its brand-new RShiny viewer) - open tools that turn raw FTIR/Raman spectra into clear polymer IDs.

Which spectral tool do you use most?
