Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and chemometric techniques were used to discriminate five closely related Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis phage types, phage type 1 (PT1), PT1b, PT4b, PT6, and PT6a. Intact cells and outer membrane protein (OMP) extracts from bacterial cell membranes were subjected to FT-IR analysis in transmittance mode. Spectra were collected over a wav...

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a rapid, noninvasive technique with considerable potential for application in the food and related industries. We show here that this technique can be used directly on the surface of food to produce biochemically interpretable "fingerprints." Spoilage in meat is the result of decomposition and the formation of metabolites caused by the growth a...

Cell pastes and supernatant Escherichia coli samples, taken from an industrial bioprocess overproducing recombinant a2 IFN were analysed using pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS) and diffuse reflectance-absorbance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). PyMS and FT-IR are physico-chemical methods which measure predominantly the bond strengths of molecules and the vibrations of bonds wit...

Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopic mapping can be used to distinguish between different tissue structures, and to increase the image contrast between normal and cancerous regions of a given tissue sample. This study demonstrates the biochemical changes associated with a consistent link between cancerous tissue and various molecular changes in the IR spectra of human pancreati...

in this work, ag-cu nanoparticles (with different percentages of copper, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% cu) were synthesized by wet chemical method. copper(ii) sulfate and silver nitrate were taken as metal precursors, ascorbic acid as reducing agent and anhydride maleic (ma) as a modifier. the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) technique and scanning electron mic...

Ruthenium dioxide nanoparticles (RuO2 ) with an average particle size of 50 nm are readily synthesized from RuCl3.xH2O via the precipitation process in the presence of in-situ sodium octanoate as anionic surfactant. The phase composition, morphology, lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these products are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffrac...

In this study, we report the use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) for the identification and quantitation of two polymorphs of Aprepitant, a substance P antagonist for chemotherapy-induced emesis. Mixtures of the polymorph pair were prepared by weight and ATR-FT-IR spectra of the powdered samples were obtained over the wavelength range of 700-1...

this study aims at exploring an effective route in the in situ graft polymerization of aniline from fe3o4 nanoparticles. to this goal, fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method using ammonia solution as the precipitating agent, and were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem)....
