Discrimination of prostate cancer cells by reflection mode FTIR photoacoustic spectroscopy

Analyst. 2007 Apr;132(4):292-5. doi: 10.1039/b618618a. Epub 2007 Mar 8.

Abstract

In this communication reflection mode Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS) is used to obtain IR spectra of four prostate and prostate cancer cell line types (CaP) allowing their differentiation by principal components analysis.
