Water oxidation investigated by rapid-scan FT-IR spectroscopy

Analysis of Noise for Rapid-Scan and Step-Scan Methods of FT-IR Difference Spectroscopy

Quantitative vibrational difference spectroscopy of small signals requires techniques that minimize spectral noise. As simple modulation of the sample followed by signal demodulation is often problematic due to interference with the FT-IR Fourier frequencies, alternate methods are necessary. Using vibrational Stark spectroscopy as an example, the DC method involves alternating complete interfer...

Rapid characterization of microbial biodegradation pathways by FT-IR spectroscopy.

Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has become an important tool for rapid analysis of complex biological samples. The infrared absorbance spectrum could be regarded as a "fingerprint" which is characteristic of biochemical substances. In this study, Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 9869 was grown with either 3,5-xylenol or m-cresol as the sole carbon source, each inducing different metabol...

effect of water on hema conversion by ft-ir spectroscopy

objective: the use of hema as a biocompatible material in dentin bonding systems and its potential for clinical applications has been well established. excess water can affect conversion of bonding resins. the aim of this study was to survey the effect of water on the degree of conversion of hema by fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ft-ir). materials and methods: in this experimental st...

FT-IR Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

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,...
