In this study, the size and chemical nature of spherical microparticle populations with diameters larger than 1 μm were simultaneously identified using attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The method was validated on different diameter microplastic particles and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells, providing accurate measurements and calculations.
Populations of nearly identical chemical and biological microparticles include the synthetic microbeads used in cosmetic, biomedical, agri-food, and pharmaceutical industries as well as the class of living microorganisms such as yeast, pollen, and biological cells. Herein, we identify simultaneously the size and chemical nature of spherical microparticle populations with diameters larger than 1 mu m. Our analysis relies on the extraction of both physical and chemical signatures from the same optical spectrum recorded using attenuated total reflection (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. These signatures are the spectral resonances caused by the microparticles, which depend on their size and the absorption peaks revealing their chemical nature. We validate the method first on separated and mixed groups of spherical microplastic particles of two different diameters, where the method is used to calculate the diameter of the microspherical particles. Then, we apply the method to correctly identify and measure the diameter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells. Theoretical simulations to help in understanding the effect of size distribution and dispersion support our results.
