Biospectroscopy is employed to derive absorbance spectra representative of biomolecules
present in biological samples. The mid-infrared region (λ= 2.5 μm− 25 μm) is absorbed to …

IR spectroscopy is an excellent method for biological analyses. It enables the
nonperturbative, label-free extraction of biochemical information and images toward …

The use of vibrational spectroscopy, FTIR and Raman, for cytology and cellular research has
the potential to revolutionise the approach to cellular analysis. Vibrational spectroscopy is …

Cancer incidence appears to be higher amongst firefighters compared to the general
population. Given that many cancers have an environmental component, their occupational …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of intact cells results in a fingerprint of their biochemistry in the
form of an IR spectrum; this has given rise to the new field of biospectroscopy. This protocol …

Spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are used
to study interactions of light with biological materials. This interaction forms the basis of …

Confocal Raman Micro-spectroscopy (CRM) is employed to examine the chemical and
physiological effects of anticancer agents, using cisplatin and A549 adenocarcinoma cells …

Nanotechnology has introduced many manufactured carbon-based nanoparticles (CNPs)
into our environment, generating a debate into their risks and benefits. Numerous …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered promising materials in nanotechnology. We
quantified CNT accumulation by the alga Desmodesmus subspicatus. Cells were exposed …

With increasing production of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), environmental release of these
entities becomes an ever-greater inevitability. However, many questions remain regarding …
