About the Speaker

Dr. Sebastian Primpke

Dr. Sebastian Primpke entered the field of microplastic analytics at the Alfred-Wegener-Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar- and Marine Research in 2015. In his current research he is focused on the automation and harmonization of spectroscopic analyses of microplastic particles.

Dr. Marten Seeba

Dr. Marten Seeba graduated in chemistry from the University of Göttingen before joining Bruker as an application expert for FT-IR and IR laser microscopy. He is a point of contact for our customers and as such has gained a great deal of expertise in many applications such as microplastics, pharmaceuticals, tissue analysis and materials science.
