Bio-Rad Forms Knowitall U, SpectraBase Boards

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., a maker of life-science research and clinical diagnostics products, said it has formed an advisory board for its KnowItAll U products and an editorial board for its SpectraBase database. KnowItAll U advisory board members are Grace Baysinger, head librarian and bibliographer of the Swain Library at Stanford University; Judith Currano, head of the chemistry library at the University of Pennsylvania; Andrea Twiss-Brooks, chemistry librarian at the University of Chicago; and Engelbert Zass, head of the Chemistry Biology Information Center at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich. SpectraBase editorial board members, who will also provide product guidance for KnowItAll U, are James de Haseth, a University of Georgia chemistry professor; Peter Griffiths, a University of Idaho chemistry professor; John L. Markley, a University of Wisconsin-Madison biochemistry professor; István Pelczer, Princeton University Department of Chemistry senior nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopist; Daniel Raftery, a Purdue University analytical and physical chemistry professor; and Wolfgang Robien, head of the Working Party for NMR spectroscopy at the University of Vienna. KnowItAll U is a a collection of more than 1.3 million spectra for research and teaching comprised of data for NMR, infrared, ultraviolet-visible and Raman spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The SpectraBase database is a community reference created, reviewed and edited by members of the scientific community.

Glossary
infrared
Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
raman spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy is a technique used in analytical chemistry and physics to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. Named after the Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman who discovered the phenomenon in 1928, Raman spectroscopy provides information about molecular vibrations by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Here is a breakdown of the process: Incident light: A monochromatic (single wavelength) light, usually from a laser, is...
