B. Lendl:
"New Developments in Vibrational Spectroscopy for Analytical Sciences";
Hauptvortrag: Geneva Chemistry & Biochemistry Days, Genf (eingeladen); 17.01.2013 - 18.01.2013.

This presentation will provide an overview on recent new developments in infrared and Raman spectroscopies of interest to modern analytical sciences. Mid-IR lasers, especially miniature quantum cascade lasers have opened a variety of new possibilities for development of compact and robust process analyzers. Characterization of these lasers and their successful use for the analysis of bodily fluids as well as the determination of residual oil traces in produced water on off-shore oil-rigs will be shown.
Pulsed laser systems for Raman spectroscopy have enabled the development of stand-off detection techniques which allow the identification of trace amounts at distances greater than 20 meters.
In combination with other enabling technologies such as microfluidic systems, standing ultrasound waves and separation systems, vibrational spectroscopy can facilitate novel approaches to study biochemical interaction processes, perform in-line bioprocess monitoring and for the sensitive identification of separated biomolecules. These possibilities will be demonstrated on the example of selected applications.
