AFM-IR offers a powerful method for characterizing biologically active materials and biological tissue on the nanometer to millimeter size scales that are important for biological function. The presentation will focus on two examples:
AFM-IR enables evaluation of drug co-localization in the 1-5 micron particles relevant to lung delivery for the ~300 million people suffering from chronic airway disease. AFM-IR also enables the assessment of material fatigue in the ACL, relating structure changes to mechanical properties.
