Talk on Raman Studies of the Tyrolean Iceman a Highlight of Upcoming Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium

The 11th Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium, hosted by WITec, will include a talk by Albert Zink from the EURAC-Institute for Mummies and the Iceman about Raman investigations of the Tyrolean Iceman.

The 11th Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium, hosted by WITec, will include a talk by Albert Zink from the EURAC-Institute for Mummies and the Iceman about Raman investigations of the Tyrolean Iceman. The symposium, taking place September 29–October 1 in Ulm, Germany, will cover various aspects of modern Raman microscopy, and provide insights into confocal Raman imaging and its applications.

Other symposium speakers include experts in Raman spectroscopy from academia and industry. The talks will highlight a range of Raman spectroscopy applications in life science, nanotechnology, materials science, graphene research, and climate research.

Technical talks about the general principles, microscope configurations, and resolutions will also be featured at the symposium. Further conference highlights include contributed talks and a poster session, to which all attendees are invited to submit their abstracts, the conference dinner with the best poster award ceremony, and a demonstration of WITec’s new RISE Microscope for correlative Raman imaging and scanning electron microscopy.

Monitoring Sugar Consumption and Ethanol Production During Yeast Fermentation Using a Raman Plate Reader and Multivariate Analysis
This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.

Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
