This article reviews some of the recent advances on FTIR spectroscopy in areas related to
natural tissues and cell biology. It is an update on our previously published review on the …

Abstract Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, in particular ATR-FTIR, is a widely
used technique that allows, in a very short time, to screen biological samples and to identify …

Spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are used
to study interactions of light with biological materials. This interaction forms the basis of …

Currently available screening tests do not deliver the required sensitivity and specificity for
accurate diagnosis of ovarian or endometrial cancer. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of blood …

Blood, saliva, semen and vaginal secretions are the main human body fluids encountered at
crime scenes. Currently presumptive tests are routinely utilised to indicate the presence of …

The ability to diagnose cancer rapidly with high sensitivity and specificity is essential to
exploit advances in new treatments to lead significant reductions in mortality and morbidity …

The current lack of an accurate, cost-effective and non-invasive test that would allow for
screening and diagnosis of gynaecological carcinomas, such as endometrial and ovarian …

Despite numerous advances in “omics” research, early detection of ovarian cancer still
remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to determine whether attenuated total …

Surgical management of ovarian tumours largely depends on their histo-pathological
diagnosis. Currently, screening for ovarian malignancy with tumour markers in conjunction …

IR absorption imaging, especially using Fourier transform IR (FT-IR) imaging spectrometers,
is an emerging modality for biomedical applications. As opposed to current techniques that …
