Evaluation of Pre-Fixed Biological Tissues Preparation Methods for ATR-FTIR Biospectroscopy Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in ATR (attenuated total reflection) mode is a powerful tool for studying biomedical samples, which can provide important structural information on the molecular composition. Currently, formalin fixation and paraffin preservation (FFPP) is the preferred sourc...

Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) has extensively been used for biological applications. Cisplatin is one the most useful antineoplastic chemotherapy drugs for a variety of different human cancers. One of the clinical problems in its application, which would consequently affect the therapeutic outcome of its application, is the occurrence of resistance to this agent. In this proj...

As biospectroscopy techniques continue to be developed for screening or diagnosis within a point-of-care setting, an important development for this field will be high-throughput optimization. For many of these techniques, it is therefore necessary to adapt and develop parameters to generate a robust yet simple approach delivering high-quality spectra from biological samples. Specifically, this ...

Amphibians are undergoing large population declines in many regions around the world. As environmental pollution from both agricultural and urban sources has been implicated in such declines, there is a need for a biomonitoring approach to study potential impacts on this vulnerable class of organism. This study assessed the use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a tool to detect changes in severa...
