New investigation results, 'Collagen types analysis and differentiation by FTIR spectroscopy,' are detailed in a study published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry. "Abnormal formation and organization of collagen network is commonly observed in many organ pathologies, but analytical techniques able to reveal the collagen biodistribution are still lacking. In this study, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to analyze type I, III, IV, V, and VI collagens, the most important compounds of connective tissues," investigators in France report (see also Spectroscopy).
"A robust classification of 30 FTIR spectra per collagen type could be ...
