Spectroscopy in Life Science

17. September 2009

Workshop for Spectroscopy in Life Sciences organised by Jena Bio Chip Initiative (JBCI)

The workshop will focus on different applications of spectroscopy and laser in life science, with a special focus on the detection of surface bound biomolecules. The aim of the workshop is to bring researcher from academia and industry together to discuss recent results and present new findings in this field. Within the workshop there will be several live demonstration to show some applications of modern spectroscopy in life science.

9:15

Welcome by Dr. Ruth Geiger and Prof. Dr. Jürgen Popp

9:30

JBCI / IPHT / HORIBA introduction

10:00

Dr. Roland Seitz / Dr. Andreas Derwahl, HORIBA Scientific, Germany
“Spectroscopic Techniques in the Life Sciences – an Overview”

  • µ-XRF (X-ray fluorescence with10µm lateral resolution); application examples with biological samples
