Abstract

Abstract : Quantitative laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is successfully used for in‐vitro analysis of early stage calcification in aortic valvular interstitial cells (VICs). LIBS results indicate 5‐fold improvement in the detection limit of calcium deposition in VICs over cell histology techniques involving staining and colorimetric calcium assays. These results can establish LIBS at the forefront of early detection of calcification in VICs for pathological studies on Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD). Further details can be found in the article by Seyyed Ali Davari et al. (e201600288 ).
