Yet in conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, cells are grown on flat and rigid substrates that often fail to capture the natural 3D environments present in tissue. Learn more about how 3D cell culture has allowed researchers to overcome the limitations of 2D models.

Read More White Papers and Application Notes Using FT-IR Microspectroscopy for Contaminant Identification in Paper Products With an emphasis on product quality and yield, it is important to identify contamination in paper products and remove the source. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is ideally suited to characterize unknown solids and the utility of FT-IR microspectroscopy in the microanalysis of pulp and paper contamination. With advances in instrumentation, the technique provides better optical performance at reasonable cost, bringing FT-IR microspectroscopy within reach of more analysts.
