FTIR spectroscopy in Biomedical analysis, by Dr. Andrei A. Bunaciu S.C AAB_IR research S.R.L., Romania

The 14-minute lecture titled "FTIR Spectroscopy in Biomedical Analysis" by Dr. Andrei A. Bunaciu from S.C. AAB_IR Research S.R.L., Romania, covers the historical context and principles of IR spectroscopy, with a focus on Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) technique and IR spectrum analysis in biological samples such as biofluids and tissues, particularly blood samples.Dr. Andrei A. Bunaciu discusses the application of IR spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool, highlighting its relevance in analyzing biomolecules like cholesterol and glucose, with specific implications in conditions such as diabetes in pregnant women and even the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, Dr. Andrei A. Bunaciu delves into the use of FTIR spectroscopy in cancer analysis, providing examples and concluding insights on its significance in biomedical research and analysis, particularly within the context of Romania. For further details, watch a video
