Infrared laser ablation and capture of enzymes with conserved activity
Wang, K., Donnarumma, F., Baldone, M. D., & Murray, K. K. Infrared laser ablation and capture of enzymes with conserved activity. Anal Chim Acta, 1027, 41–46 (2018). Abstract Infrared (IR) laser ablation at 3 μm wavelength was used to extract enzymes from tissue and quantitatively determine their activity. Experiments were conducted with trypsin, which was ablated, …

Infrared Laser Ablation Microsampling for Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Infrared Laser Ablation Microsampling for Mass Spectrometry Imaging (CHE-1709526) is a $0.35M award to Louisiana State University and Baylor University from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to support the development of new techniques for biological imaging. Thank you NSF for 20+ years of support.
IR Opolette 2940
Another laser and the second from OPOTEK this year: an IR Opolette 2940. It is fixed wavelength at 2940 nm for no other reason than that is the Er:YAG laser wavelength. It is possible to manually adjust the internal optics to generate light from 2700 to 3100 nm. This laser has its roots in the …
