Abstract

Spectrofluor TM , also known as Carbon-Fluorine Spectroscopy (CFS TM ) or Fluoro-Raman Spectroscopy (FRS TM ), is a relatively new patented platform technology using a family of various methods and cost-effective devices called PLIRFA TM (Pulsed Laser Isochronic Raman and Fluorescence Apparatus) developed by our team. It was previously demonstrated that Carbon- Fluorine Spectroscopy (CFS TM ), aka Spectro-Fluor TM - a member tool from the PLIRFA TM (Pulsed Laser Isochronic Raman and Fluorine/Fluorescence Apparatus) platform is a green, non-destructive, non-invasive, progressive, reliable and disruptive analytical technology that fits various pharmaceutical and bio-medical applications. The key feature of CFS TM is based on the capability to specifically, sensitively and rapidly detect C-F bond(s) in the fingerprint spectral area of 550-850 cm -1 allowing F-imaging as well as qualitative and quantitative characterization of fluoro organics such as F-drugs and F-biomoleciles in vitro, ex-vivo or in-vivo . More recently, we have applied Spectrofluor TM to characterize nanomaterials (e.g. size determination of ultra-dispersed fluoro-polymers, length determination of fluorinated molecules entrapped into nanoparticles, characterization of house-developed 3D-photonic opal SiO2 nanosponge TM ). Spectrofluor TM may become a gold standard tool for personalized and translational medicine while preserving the environment.
