Simultaneous laser induced- breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and acoustic response techniques as well as Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) are applied to investigate the abnormal lymph tissues due to Hodgkin disease. The spectral shift in the emissive fluorescence of the cancerous tissues has been observed respect to the normal ones. Regarding LIBS, the concentrations of Ca and Na trace elements ha...

The chemistry of nitrated alkoxy radicals, and its impact on RO2 measurements using the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique, is examined by a combined theoretical experimental study.

Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) provides measurements of flow speed, temperature, and density of ions or neutrals in a plasma. Traditionally, a LIF measurement requires two ports on a plasma device; one for laser injection and one for emission collection. Proper alignment of LIF optics is time consuming and sensitive to mechanical vibration. We describe a confocal configuration for LIF that re...

The first application of the violet diode laser for laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection in capillary electrophoresis is reported. Operating at 405 nm with an output power of 5 mW, this laser offers many advantages over conventional red diode lasers operating at 635 nm. We demonstrate the suitability of the violet diode laser for LIF detection by detecting amino acids labeled with naphtha...

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a spectroscopic technique that involves the excitation of a molecular target by a beam of laser radiation followed by the detection of the subsequent emission of radiation from the target. LIF detection has several advantages over absorption spectroscopy. First, LIF has excellent detection sensitivity because a signal is observed against a dark background. Se...

A means of performing simultaneous, high-speed measurements of temperature and OH lifetime-corrected laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for tracking unsteady flames has been developed and demonstrated. The system uses the frequency-doubled and frequency-tripled output beams of an 80 MHz mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser to achieve ultrashort laser pulses (order 2 ps) for Rayleigh-scattering thermomet...

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements have been performed for the first time in a low temperature (Te approximately 0.6 eV) Xe plasma using a tunable diode laser in the visible range of wavelengths. The transition in Xe II involved the (3P1)5d[3]7/2 metastable state and the excitation wavelength was found to be 680.570+/-0.001 nm (air). LIF measurements of I 2 in a room temperature iodi...

A new method of vector tomography by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy is proposed for the evaluation velocity field quasi-coherent structure in linear magnetized plasma. Here, two-dimensional was reconstructed with measuring synchronization azimuthal reference probes and line-integrated LIF. The laser installation condition designed to move a radial direction perpendicular path. We...

Microdroplets generated inside microfluidic devices have been widely used as miniaturized chemical and biological reactors allowing important reductions in experimental fluid volumes and making it possible to carry out high-throughput assays. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is commonly used to detect and quantify the product, marker or cell content inside each individual droplet. In this work,...

Magnetic particle mediated transport in combination with nanomaterial based drug carrier has a great potential for targeted cancer therapy. In this study, doxorubicin encapsulation into the apoferritin and its conjugation with magnetic particles was investigated by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). The quantification of encapsulated doxorubicin was pe...
