Please join Prof Roy Goodacre, Liverpool University in this two-part webinar to learn about how his research group is applying submicron IR (O-PTIR) with simultaneous Raman to the study of microbial communities, at the single cell level to explore inter-cell biochemical, metabolomic and anti-microbial resistance differences utilising stable isotope labelling techniques.
Learn, how many of the traditional challenges of Raman microscopy, such poor sensitivity of individual bacterial cells and fluorescence interferences are eliminated with the use of the breakthrough technique – Optical Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy, delivering the same high spatial resolution of Raman microscopy, but with the rich information content of IR spectroscopy (eg proteins) with high sensitivity in seconds, without any autofluorescence interferences. Additionally, the well-known vibrational spectroscopic complementarity between IR and Raman can also be fully exploited with full synergy through the ability to now collect submicron IR and Raman spectra simultaneously, from the same spot, at the same time with the same spatial resolution.
Dr Mustafa Kansiz, Director of Product Management and Marketing at Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp, will provide a brief technique overview, comparisons to traditional IR and Raman spectroscopy, covering submicron simultaneous IR+Raman together with a range of life science application examples (cells, tissues and live cells) in this two part event.
The webinar will be recorded for later on-demand viewing with opportunities to ask questions during and after the webinar.
