Microbial Testing

Identification of contaminating microbes is an important public safety issue in many fields such as the control of food quality and the manufacture of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Previous research has shown the potential for Raman spectroscopy in combination with chemometric methods to investigate bulk samples as well as a single bacterium and yeast cell for classification on the species and strain level.

Traditionally, Raman has been a technique of the material scientist, physicist or chemist, but as instrumentation continues to evolve, the power of Raman in biological and medical applications is fast being realized, not least because of the high information content provided and an excellent tolerance for water.

The A-TEEM Compliance Package is now available from HORIBA and enables A-TEEM to be used in a GMP environment. Discussion points will be around both the pharmaceutical applications of A-TEEM and the details of the compliance package for GMP labs.

Join Dr. Kevin Dahl of Particlese LLC and Dr. Linda Kidder of HORIBA Scientific provide tips and alternative solutions for better vaccine development and quality. They will discuss the application of multi-laser nanoparticle analysis (NTA) in determining vaccine degradation and total particle count. They will also present a new analytical approach, fluorescence A-TEEM method for rapid screening of similar but different vaccine final formulations.

The large variety of fluorescent probes, such as organic dyes, biological biotags and fluorescent nanostructures, are intensively studied due to their inherent suitability for a wide range of life science applications. Thanks to the complementary nature of its analytical solutions, HORIBA's unique offer covers fluorescence, particle analysis, AFM, Raman and XRF characterization techniques, helping to gain valuable insight into optical properties, size, morphology and composition of your bioprobes.

New camera, new imaging, new FLIM

Fast auto sampling. Auto fast sampling. Auto sampling, fast

Quantitative imaging techniques, such as FRET-FLIM, FCS and FCCS, and RICS are powerful tools to monitor the dynamics and interactions of proteins in live cells.

The need for fluorescent bioprobes has exploded in the last decades in the Life Sciences and Medical domains for applications such as bioimaging, lab-on-chip diagnostics, drug development or cell sorting.

A-TEEM™ stands for simultaneous Absorbance, Transmission, and Fluorescence Excitation-Emission-Matrix (EEMs) Acquisition.
