Setup for Simultaneous Microwave Heating and Real-Time Spectrofluorometric Measurements in Biological Systems
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 145, 229-240, 2014
Abstract
In this paper, a delivery system allowing simultaneous microwave heating and real-time spectrofluorometric measurements in biological systems is proposed and characterized. This system is used to investigate the phase behavior of lipid bilayers from about 15°C to 45°C. The delivery system is based on an open transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell combined with a spectrofluorometer via an optical cable system. A numerical and experimental dosimetry of the delivery system is conducted. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) efficiency of the system is 26.1±2.1 W/kg/W. Spectrofluorometric measurements on Laurdan labeled small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) are carried out. Generalized polarization (GP) of the SUV' membrane is obtained from the fluorescence intensities measured at two emission wavelengths.
