NBL Introduction

The NBL has multiple active projects and they are listed below:

  • ARMES: Developing a new analytical method for protein analysis based on polarized multi-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy.
  • Bioanalytical: Rapid analytical methods for biopharmaceutical manufacturing (particularly for cell culture media).
  • Fluorescence Microscopy: Using advanced single molecule based methods for studying protein-protein and protein-polymer interactions.
  • Solid-state analysis: Raman and chemometric based methods for low content quantification (LCQ) and nanosuspension particle analysis.

Details and Information about some of past projects are available here:

  • Forensics application of Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics for illicit narcotic analysis.
  • Petroleum Analysis Using time-resolved fluorescence to analyst crude petroleum oils and hydrocarbon bearing fluid inclusions.
  • Metal Enhanced Fluorescence:  Using plasmonics to for fluorescence sensing applications.
