In pandemic times, like the one we are witnessing for COVID-19, discussion about new efficient and rapid techniques diagnosis of diseases is more evident. this mini-review, present to virological scientific community potential attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy as a technique. Herein, explain operation technique, well its advantages over standard meth...

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in plastic pollution research, since it the advantages of great simplicity, rapidity, and low cost, being widely employed fingerprint identification molecular composition structure. The present study evaluates attenuated total reflection (ATR)–FTIR as a sensitive effective assay for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolated fro...

Introduction: Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) is an infrared spectroscopic method that has potential as a tool for in situ quantitative mineralog-ical analysis on planetary lander missions. The sample of interest is placed in close physical contact with a crystal of high refractive index, such as Ge or diamond. Modulated infrared light from an FTIR interferometer enters the crystal at such a...

Exposure to chemicals such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) can generate intracellular toxic mechanisms. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a novel approach that allows the non-destructive analysis of underlying chemical bond alterations in patho-physiological processes. This study set out to examine whether B[a]P-induced whole cell alterations could be distinguished from effects on nuc...

Abstract Monofloral Lavandula spp. honey is very appreciated by consumers due to its characteristic and pleasant aroma flavor. Given the economic importance of this type honey, it important develop a rapid nonexpensive methodology that allows certifying quality. In context, study aimed compare applicability accuracy FTIR-ATR FT-Raman techniques for quality evaluation honey. Calibration models, ...

Bioartificial blends of poly-( -caprolactone) (PCL) with a polysaccharide (starch, S; dextran, D; or gellan, G) (PCL/S, PCL/D, PCL/G 90.9/9.1 wt ratio) were prepared by a solution-precipitation technique and widely characterized by differential scanning calorimetry analysis (DSC), Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), optical microscopy (OM), wide-angl...

The competitive adsorption of arsenate and arsenite with silicic acid at the ferrihydrite-water interface was investigated over a wide pH range using batch sorption experiments, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) modeling. Batch sorption results indica...
