Novel Application of Raman Spectroscopy in Biopreservation

Spectroscopy recently spoke with Nilay Chakraborty, PhD, MBA, an assistant professor in the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, whose research focuses on developing new techniques for improving the survival of mammalian cells when stabilized and stored at non-cryogenic and cryogenic temperatures. In this interview, Chakraborty discusses the role that Raman spectroscopy plays in his work on biopreservation.

Monitoring Sugar Consumption and Ethanol Production During Yeast Fermentation Using a Raman Plate Reader and Multivariate Analysis
This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
