Blood is a bodily fluid that is vital for a number of life functions in animals. To a first
approximation, blood is a mildly alkaline aqueous fluid (plasma) in which a large number of …

Raman spectroscopy is an emerging technique in bioanalysis and imaging of biomaterials
owing to its unique capability of generating spectroscopic fingerprints. Imaging cells and …

Raman spectroscopy can be used to measure the chemical composition of a sample, which
can in turn be used to extract biological information. Many materials have characteristic …

Carbon nanotubes were successfully functionalized with amine groups and conjugated with
two low-symmetry prophyrine derivatives to increase their active sites. Batch adsorption tests …

Application of modern and innovative spectroscopic and microscopic approaches to
biomedical analysis opens new horizons and sheds new light on many unexplored scientific …

This review on the interplay between malaria, antimalarial drugs, and hemozoin crystals is
directed, on one hand, to biologists and pharmaceutical chemists who wish to have a …

Advances in instrumentation are making Raman spectroscopy the tool of choice for an
increasing number of (bio) chemical applications. Raman is an interesting option for several …

Raman spectroscopy offers the potential for fingerprinting biological molecules at ultra-low
concentration and therefore has potential for the detection of viruses. Here we review …

Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) is a powerful technique to obtain molecular
information on a nanometer scale, however, the technique has been limited to cell surfaces …

We report the coupling of a portable Raman spectrometer to an acoustic levitation device to
enable environmental monitoring and the potential taxonomic identification of microalgae …
