A comparison between infrared spectroscopy (IR.) analysis techniques and SEM-EDAX in urolithiasis Available to Purchase

The analysis of Urinary stone is done using a variety of physical and chemical procedures. The two favored procedures in this research are infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Elemental distribution analysis X-ray (EDAX). As a result, to set up a proper analysis procedure in our clinical laboratories, we agreed to conduct a practical comparison of the two techniques described above with the help of the surgical urology department at Al-Hussein teaching hospital in Thi-Qar governorate. First, the study was done by performing laser lithotripsy operations. Then, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) morphological inspection, EDAX (Elemental Distribution Analysis X-ray) internal structure analysis, and IR infrared spectroscopy analysis were employed. The findings of EDAX analysis were the most consistent with those of FTIR analysis. The FTIR analysis for calcium oxalate stones was satisfactory, but it was difficult for uric acid and cystine stones. Our findings show that EDAX is more accurate than FTIR, but FTIR is better for routine clinical laboratories due to cost considerations.
