Method for determining a cellular function or change in cellular function by contacting a sample of cells or a component of cells with an activating agent, directing a beam of infrared light at the sample of cells or a component of the cells, analyzing the infrared spectrum of the sample at at least one range of frequencies and ascertaining whether at least one change in the spectral characteristics has occurred due to activation of the cells or a change in the cellular component, that can be correlated to the cellular function or the change in cellular function by the activating agent and determining the cellular function therefrom. |
