Identification of birch pollen species using FTIR spectroscopy

Identification and characterization of pigmented photoreceptor-producing microorganisms using FTIR spectroscopy

The identification, differentiation and classification of microorganisms have been subjects of research for many years. Recently, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques have gained attention in the characterization and classification of microorganisms based on biochemical profiles and cell structure characteristics. In the present study, the characterization and differentiati...

teratogenic effects of metronidazole on mice fetus using ftir spectroscopy

Quantitative DNA Analyses for Airborne Birch Pollen

Birch trees produce large amounts of highly allergenic pollen grains that are distributed by wind and impact human health by causing seasonal hay fever, pollen-related asthma, and other allergic diseases. Traditionally, pollen forecasts are based on conventional microscopic counting techniques that are labor-intensive and limited in the reliable identification of species. Molecular biological t...

Development of a novel method for identification and quantification of birch pollen allergens in parallel

Background Determining the content of individual allergens at isoform level has become important for comprehensive standardization and quality control of allergen products as the content of individual allergens has an impact on the potency of allergen extracts. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a dominant and indispensable proteomic tool that has been employed for allergen analysis. Therefore, the main...
