Life science applications of O-PTIR, from tissues, single bacteria to live cells
In this webinar, Prof Peter Gardner (Manchester University, UK) will present results from their recent and first published study on live (and fixed) cell analysis with simultaneous submicron IR+Raman microscopy with wide spectral coverage using two pump lasers (QCL and OPO).
Using this experimental configuration, all biologically relevant IR vibrations are probed, with further vibration complementarity provided by the concomitant Raman data, generating a full vibrational spectroscopic profile. Pancreatic and breast cancer cell lines are used as model cells to demonstrate these exciting new capabilities.
These combined modalities are shown to be able to analyze subcellular structures in both fixed and, more importantly, live cells under aqueous conditions. We show that the protein secondary structure and lipid-rich bodies can be identified on the submicron scale.
In conjunction with Dr Mustafa Kansiz, Director of Product Management and Marketing at PSC, who will present an overview of the technique with further life science research examples (tissues, single cell bacteria etc) we are proud to present this cutting-edge webinar.
The webinar will be recorded for later on-demand viewing with opportunities to ask questions during and after the webinar.
