SPECTROMETRIE LASER [3 records]

Record 1 2011-12-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

The detectors that are used in ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry measure photons. If these photon detectors are replaced by a detector that measures pressure waves, the technique is known as photoacoustic, or optoacoustic, spectrometry. Photoacoustic spectrometers typically employ microphones or piezoelectric transducers as detectors.

CONT

… photoacoustic spectrometry uses the thermal expansion of light-absorbing particles caused by the transfer of radiative energy into thermal energy.

Key term(s)
  • photo-acoustic spectrometry
  • opto-acoustic spectrometry

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Physique atomique
CONT

La spectrométrie optoacoustique est […] une mesure indirecte d’une absorption induite par laser; on mesure une variation de pression(l'échauffement rapide et localisé provoque une dilatation) proportionnelle à la concentration, au moyen d’une cellule piézoélectrique.

Key term(s)
  • spectrométrie opto-acoustique

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry
CONT

The coupling of isoelectric focusing on immobilized pH gradients (IPG) with electrospray-mass spectrometry (ES-MS) was applied to the characterization of proteins according to two different and important properties, such as net surface charge and molecular mass. From a technical point of view, these methods are complementary, since ES- MS requires ion-free samples as usually supplied by isoelectric focusing on IPGs.

  • Génétique
  • Biochimie
CONT

[...] la spectrométrie de masse tient une grande place dans la panoplie des techniques analytiques. Les méthodes d’ionisation, connues sous le nom d’ES-MS(Electrospray-Mass Spectrometry), de MALDI(Matrix Assisted Laser Ionization), permettent la caractérisation des protéines recombinantes, la détermination des modifications post-traductionnelles(glycolysation, acylation, phosphorilation...) de protéines de haut poids moléculaire(jusqu'à 300 kDa), et l'étude des complexes non covalents formés par le récepteur et son ligand.

Record 3 1987-11-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

Raman spectroscopy has advanced rapidly since the laser was first introduced as the source of excitation. The advantages of the laser are that it produces a powerful beam of monochromatic, coherent radiation vastly superior to that obtained with other Raman sources such as the Toronto arc.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
  • Physique nucléaire
CONT

La spectrométrie Raman laser résolue dans le temps prend une dimension particulièrement intéressante en associant des lasers fonctionnant en régime impulsionnel avec le spectromètre multicanal.
