FT-IR Mapping—A New Tool for Spatially Resolved Characterization of Polymer-Bound Combinatorial Compound Libraries with IR Microscopy

In the search for selective receptors , a promising approach is provided by immobilization of cyclopeptides on sensor surfaces (see picture) and subsequent detection of low molecular weight analytes with reflectometric interference spectroscopy (RIfS). Together with combinatorial chemistry, this innovative method offers a great potential for applications as sensors.
