Near infrared spectroscopy has been widely used as an analytical tool in the dairy industry since the 1980s. NIR use has progressed as instruments have evolved over time. Today there are fleets of networked instruments using generic calibrations across broad product classes for at- and in-line applications. More recently NIR has found application for food safety applications as well, increasingly using non-targeted approaches. However the relevant strengths and weaknesses of NIR must be thoroughly understood in these challenging applications.

AbstractNear infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has become an analytical tool for material and process control, leading to substantial quality improvements in the output material. In the field of polymer processing NIR spectroscopy has been increasingly applied for on-/in-line monitoring, mainly for lab-scale process development but also for the production of high-value materials. For this paper the bio-polymer polylactide (PLA) was investigated by NIRS in the range of 1.2 to 2.4 μm, in order to identify modifications induced by additives of nanofil

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have exhibited hyperopic shifts, posterior eye globe flattening, dilated optic nerve sheaths, and even optic disk swelling from spaceflight. Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) consequent to cephalad fluid shifts is commonly hypothesized as contributing to these ocular changes. Head-down tilt (HDT) is frequently utilized as an Earth-based analog to study similar fluid shifts. Sealed environments like the ISS also exhibit elevated CO2, a potent arteriolar vasodilator that could further affect cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral blood flow, intracranial compliance, and ICP. A collaborative pilot study between the National Space Biomedical Research Institute and the German Aerospace Center tested the hypotheses that 1) HDT and elevated CO2 physiologically interact and 2) cerebrovascular pulsatility is related to HDT and/or elevated CO2. In a double-blind crossover study ( n = 6), we measured CBV pulsatility via near-infrared spectroscopy, alongside noninvasive ICP and intraocular pressure (IOP) during 28-h −12° HDT at both nominal (0.04%) and elevated (0.5%) ambient CO2. In our cohort, CBV pulsatility increased significantly over time at cardiac frequencies (0.031 ± 0.009 μM/h increase in total hemoglobin concentration pulsatility amplitude) and Mayer wave frequencies (0.019 ± 0.005 μM/h increase). The HDT-CO2 interaction on pulsatility was not robust but rather driven by one individual. Significant differences between atmospheres were not detected in ICP or IOP. Further work is needed to determine whether individual differences in pulsatility responses to CO2 relate to visual changes in space. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Cerebral blood volume (CBV) pulsatility—as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy—increases over time during −12° head-down tilt at both cardiac and Mayer wave frequencies. CBV pulsatility appeared to increase more under elevated (0.5%) CO2 at Mayer wave frequencies in some individuals. If similar dynamic pulsatility increases occur in astronauts, there is the potential to initiate vascular and possibly other remodeling processes that lead to symptoms associated with sustained increases in intracranial pressure.

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been applied as analytical tool in numerous field of study due to its ability in non-invasive application. NIRS with the ability in providing the information on biological molecules shows a high potential as a diagnosis tool in medical as diseased related to biochemistry changes of the cell and tissue. This paper reviewed the application of NIR spectroscopy in leukemia screening and in other medical application. General comparison between invasive and non-invasive NIR spectroscopy method is provided. The author also proposed a new non-invasive NIRS method in leukemia screening and compared it with the previous invasive NIRS method.
