UV Resonance Raman spectroscopy for selective probing of biological specimens

In this contribution, Ms. Rossi provides an overview of the basic principles of UV resonance Raman spectroscopy and its possible applications in the investigation of biological specimens.

A description is provided of the advantages and challenges of this technique, representing a unique label-free tool for non-invasive study of nucleic acids, proteins, organic samples and pathogens.

The portfolio of the multi-wavelengths UV Raman setups available on the IUVS beamline at Elettra Sincrotrone is presented.

Special focus is given to the instrumental upgrades planned in the framework of PRP@Ceric and Elettra 2.0.

Speaker: Barbara Rossi, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
