nanoplus applications in biotechnology

nanoplus lasers at wavelengths from the visible to MIR spectral range can be used in a wide variety of biological and biotechnological applications including

flow cytometry
optogenetics
microscopy

Non-destructive food quality control is another application area, i.e. to monitor the atmosphere in which food is stored or the shelf life of soft drinks.

Other bio- applications include environmental biotechnology for the detection of dangerous gases emanating from wastes during deposition and clean up-processes.

Plasmon

Chemical sensing using surface plasmon polariton

A 3.6 µm ICL is used to enhance the reading of the surface plasmon polariton effect.

C₂H₆ & C₂H₂

Monitoring of breath gas: C₂H₆ and C₂H₂

Medical breath analysis considers ethane and acetelyne as a biomarkers for asthma, schizophrenia or lung cancer. The research field of breath analysis uses methane as a biomarker for intestinal problems.
