FT-IR Spectroscopy Applied for Surface Clays Characterization

The present paper should be considered as a review of the application of Fourier Transform Infra-Red for surface clay characterization. The application of surface clay materials for water treatment, oil adsorption, excipients or as active in drugs has largely increased these recent years. The surface clay material presents hydroxyl groups, which can link very easily water molecules. These hydro...

FT-IR Spectroscopy in Medicine

Infrared spectroscopy has been widely applied for the characterisation of various substances. Due to its sensitivity to the chemical information and architecture of the molecule, infrared spectroscopy can play an important role in new applications such as in the life-science field and not only in the traditional fields of physics and chemistry. Spectroscopic techniques are simple, reproducible,...

Evaluation of measurement sites for noninvasive blood glucose sensing with near-infrared transmission spectroscopy.

Six putative measurement sites were evaluated for noninvasive sensing of blood glucose by first-overtone near-infrared spectroscopy. The cheek, lower lip, upper lip, nasal septum, tongue, and webbing tissue between the thumb and forefinger were examined. These sites were evaluated on the basis of their chemical and physical properties as they pertain to the noninvasive measurement of glucose. C...

Noninvasive Blood Glucose Analysis using Near Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy

A modular Fourier-transform spectrometer was designed and built for the noninvasive blood glucose measurement research using the near-infrared absorption technique. A series of experiments were performed to evaluate the spectrometer’s efficiency and its stability. The efficiency, which represents the photon loss through the spectrometer, is proportional to the achievable signal-to-noise ratio. ...
