A proof of concept study suggests an FT-IR microspectroscopy blood test can detect a single circulating tumour cell in a lung cancer patient, supporting future real time monitoring.

IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

A team of researchers from three different institutions from the UK have come up with a technique to detect and monitor the progress of lung cancer.

Early detection of lung cancer remains challenging because cancer cells circulating in the blood are extremely rare ( ref1 ). A new research study now shows that a single lung cancer cell can be ...

PiFM and PiF-IR are the next generation of infrared spectroscopy techniques. PiFM brought a major shift to atomic force microscopy by adding chemical mapping capabilities. PiF-IR, its sister technique ...
