Please join Dr Cassio Lima, Post Doc and Research Associate in Prof Roy Goodacre’s Laboratory for Bioanalytical Spectroscopy, University of Liverpool, UK, to hear about how, for the first time, IR micro-spectroscopy has been applied to single bacterial cells and with simultaneous Raman microscopy too!
Dr Cassio Lima, will present results from his recent paper entitled, “Simultaneous Raman and infrared spectroscopy – a novel combination for studying bacterial infections at the single cell level”, published this month in Chemical Science. Results show how that for the first time and applied to twelve bacterial clinical isolates, the complementarity of IR and Raman can truly be exploited for single cell bacterial analyses and how O-PTIR generates more reproducible spectra with tighter clustering compared to Raman.
Additionally, Dr Mustafa Kansiz, Director of Product Management and Marketing at Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp, will provide a brief technique overview, covering submicron simultaneous IR+Raman together with a range of biomedical application examples in this two part event.
A summary of the webinar includes;
- Introduction to submicron O-PTIR and simultaneous Raman (IR+Raman) microscopy with application examples
- Submicron IR (O-PTIR) and Simultaneous Raman applied to;
– Sepsis relevant bacterial cell analysis (twelve clinical isolates)
– Single bacterial cells characterization (with simultaneous IR and Raman)
– Exploiting the complementarity of IR (stronger protein signals) and Raman (strong pigment signals)
The webinar will be recorded for later on-demand viewing with opportunities to ask questions during and after the webinar.
