Fluorescence Detection Techniques for Biomedical Research
Handbook of Food Analysis Instruments
Iain D. Johnson
Semih Otles
Fluorescence is the most versatile detection technique currently available for biomedical research. No other technique can be used to address as many different types of samples using as many different instrumentation platforms. This volume describes the technical basis for this versatility and provides a complete look at the wide span of resulting applications. The first part of the text examines basic photophysics of the fluorescence process, explains the properties of fluorescent molecules, and presents instrumentation platforms. Organized by classes of biological molecules, the second part of the text focuses on applications.
The presence and interactions of various compounds in foods during storage and processing impact all aspects of quality. Therefore, applying proper methods for the analysis of foods is a critical endeavor. During the past century, analytical methods have evolved considerably to include the use of increasingly sophisticated instruments. The Handbook of Food Analysis Instruments focuses on the origin, concept, and use of these instruments. Each chapter presents a specific type of instrument, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, microwave-assisted processes, and more. The operating principles, definitions, theory, and applications to food analysis are examined for every instrument covered in the text.

The last two decades have seen exponential growth in cryoelectron microscopy, resulting in exciting advances and a better understanding of the ultrastructure of living and inert matter. Using a step-by-step format, this handbook presents the most sophisticated methods used in research laboratories. It describes the principles of cryo-fixation, cryo-ultramicrotomy, embedding at low temperatures, and freeze-fracture. It also explores applications such as electron crystallography, 2D/3D structure analysis, cryo-electron tomography, and techniques for protein localization. Each chapter covers a specific method, including detailed protocols, summary tables, and illustrations to clarify the techniques.
Presenting nearly 50 percent new and revised material, this edition combines concise theoretical foundations with the latest advances in instrumentation, computerization, calibration, and methods in NIR spectroscopy. Drawing on the experience of more than 60 experts in the field, it underscores accurate as well as time- and cost-effective current trends in sample preparation, calibration transfer, process control, data analysis, and commercial NIR instrumentation. New chapters highlight novel applications in pharmaceuticals, polymers, plastics, petrochemicals, textiles, foods and beverages, baked products, agricultural products, biomedicine, neutraceuticals, and counterfeit detection.
