In recent years, the Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy is often applied in studies of biological materials on cellular level. Undoubted advantage of this method is high sensitivity. In presented research the FTIR microspectroscopy was used to analyse the DNA damage in single PC-3 cells (prostate cancer cell line derived from bone metastases) irradiated by counted number of protons. Focu...

Phenobarbital is a phenobarbiturate used as a sedative, anticonvulsant, or hypnotic with the doses prescribed and can cause teratogenic effects. The goal of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by Phenobarbital using FTIR micro spectroscopy. The mice were injected with Phenobarbital (120mg/...

In this work, the retention of cobalt on a humin (HU) derived from a brown coal is studied. Through a systematic and coordinated investigation of the behavior of the metal ions in solution (speciation diagrams as a function of pH) and their adsorption and precipitation processes with reactive functional groups of the solid (sorption isotherms), the interactions of different Co(II) species with ...

Recent developments in biomedical vibrational spectroscopy now permit the non-invasive imaging of cells and tissues within both the laboratory and clinical settings. The rapid nature and diagnostic potential of both Raman and FTIR (Fourier-transform IR) spectroscopy have resulted in their widespread application to a number of biological fields including fundamental cell biology, medical imaging...

The analysis of environmental occurrence microplastic (MP) particles has gained notable attention within the past decade. An effective risk assessment MP litter requires elucidating sources particles, their pathways distribution and, ultimately, sinks. Therefore, sampling to be done in high frequency, both spatially and temporally, resulting a number samples analyze. Microspectroscopy technique...
