Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Infrared spectroscopy provides chemical information pertinent to several Mars biological questions. The early histories of Mars and Earth show similarities with having common liquid water and organic material. Life as we know it is composed of carbon-containing building blocks, …

This thesis focuses on the utilisation of mid-infrared techniques in technological atmospheric pressure, non-thermal plasma (NTP) diagnostics. Two mid-infrared techniques were demonstrated in this work namely laser absorption and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. T…

Introduction: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is an ill-defined fibroproliferative disorder affecting the palms of the hands of certain patient groups. Whether changes in DD fibroblasts are due to genetic alterations alone or related to metabolic dysregulation has not yet been investig…

Modifications of a pyrolysis GC/FT-IR technique were developed to study the processes of degradation and humification of woody peats. Tropical, woody peats were analyzed by pyrolysis gas chromatograph/Fourier transform infrared (Pyr/GC/FT-IR) spectroscopy and pyrolysis gas chrom…
