Chain orientation of polyethylene by polarization BCARS

3D Molecular Orientation Imaging

Ongoing
We have developed 3D orientation measurement techniques by analyzing polarization-dependent molecular vibrational signals based on infrared (IR) absorption [1,2] and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) [3]. The two imaging modalities are complementary to each other: IR imaging broadly...
A schematic overview showing the distribution of the standardized samples to study participants, the use of standardized protocols for measurements, and standardized reporting of data back to NIST for analysis.

AAPS Interlaboratory Study: Protein Aggregation and Immunogenicity

Ongoing
To ensure the safety and efficacy of protein-based biotherapeutics, manufacturers strive to avoid unwanted immune responses caused by the biotherapeutic. Protein immunogenicity is a complex topic and depends on multiple factors related to the product, patient profile, and treatment. 1 , 2...

Advanced Spectral Analysis: Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy (2DCOS)

Ongoing
When a series of spectra are acquired from a sample as a function of temperature, pressure, electric field strength, concentration, or any experimental parameters, conventional spectral analysis is performed by monitoring the intensity change at a specific frequency. However, such a single frequency...
Optical coherence tomography

Biofabrication of Tissue Engineered Constructs

Ongoing
OCT imaging was assessed using a model scaffold-cell system consisting of a polysaccharide-based hydrogel seeded with human Jurkat cells. Four test systems were used: hydrogel seeded with live cells, hydrogel seeded with heat-shocked or fixed dead cells and hydrogel without any cells. Time series...
