Spectroscopy Spotlight
Top Down, Middle Out, and Bottom Up: Mass Spectrometry in Biomedical Research
Prof. Catherine Fenselau of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Maryland recently spoke to Spectroscopy about her research with mass spectrometry–based analyses of proteins associated with cells known to be an obstacle to anti-cancer immunotherapies.
With recent advances in Raman sensitivity, mapping and software, 3D Raman imaging is now used to understand the complete picture of sample materials, including polymer beads, pharmaceuticals, fluid inclusions, waveguides, etc.
HORIBA Scientific’s LabRAM HR Evolution and XploRA™ Raman microscopes combine powerful performance with ease of operation. With their rapid true confocal 2D and 3D imaging, you get the most detailed images and analyses with speed and confidence.

Why Spectral Interpretation Needs To Be Taught
There is a continuing need for Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) users to receive training in how to interpret the infrared spectra they measure. This new column by Brian C. Smith will provide practical advice about how to do this. This first installment will present why this type of column is important, discuss some basic IR theory, and lay out a blueprint for future installments.
