Plasmonics-Based COVID-19 Test Delivers Results in POC Settings
Plasmonics-Based COVID-19 Test Delivers Results in POC Settings
Researchers at Columbia Engineering and Rover Diagnostics used plasmonic nanoparticles with compact optics to develop a real-time, multiplexed, reverse-transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test. Weighing just two pounds, the ultrafast, portable PCR testing system is practical for use in decentralized and point-of-care (POC) settings.

Photon Detector Breathes New Life Into Conventional CT Imaging
The Food and Drug Administration has cleared a photon-counting detector (PCD)-based CT system for clinical use. The system offers an alternative approach to the conversion of x-rays to electrical signals. Studies also showed that the system achieved the best reported resolution for a clinical CT system.

QCL Dual-Comb Spectroscopy Matures into the Mid-Infrared by Combining High-Time and High-Frequency Resolution QCL Dual-Comb Spectroscopy Matures into the Mid-Infrared by Combining High-Time and High-Frequency Resolution
Tue, Aug 23, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
QCL dual-comb spectroscopy began with high time-resolved (250 µs-250ms) single shot measurements and has progressed to time-scales that can compete with rapid scan Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Recent research has discovered a high-spectral resolution feature on instruments that allows measurements with less than one MHz resolution over a bandwidth of 50cm-1. This breakthrough was achieved by combining the high-time resolved mode with the high-spectrally resolved mode in supersonic beam measurements. Andreas Hugi, Ph.D. explains the technical background of these acquisition modes and links them to real world applications. Sponsored by Hamamatsu Corp.
