Scientist in laboratory

Raman spectroscopy plays a vital role in biotechnology by enabling non-destructive analysis of biological samples. It is widely used for studying protein structures, DNA, and cellular components in real time. This powerful technique helps in monitoring bioprocesses, detecting pathogens, and ensuring product quality in pharmaceuticals. Raman spectroscopy also supports advancements in drug development and personalized medicine. Its precision and speed make it a valuable tool in modern biotech research and diagnostics.

Raman Analysis in Agricultural Product Analysis

  • Tablet coating ensures protection of the drug and Identification by color for dosage accuracy, but even slight changes affect quality and API measurement.

  • Coatings often weaken Raman signals, making API uniformity hard to assess.

  • Raman spectroscopy with Target Factor Analysis (TFA) enables accurate coating thickness and API analysis without solvents, offering clear surface sensitivity and bulk evaluation

Raw Meat with Rosemary

Raman in Molecular Fingerprinting and Foodomics

  • Molecular fingerprinting and Foodomics help verify raw material origin and nutritional content, ensuring food safety and authenticity.

  • Environmental factors affect crops like wheat and medicinal plants like chamomile, making origin detection essential.

  • Raman spectroscopy with SERS, LIBS, and ML integration enables highly sensitive, accurate classification and authentication based on molecular and elemental markers

Raman in Food Allergen Detection

  • Food allergies, such as milk allergy caused by casein and α-lactalbumin, can trigger skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal disorders.

  • Conventional allergen detection is slow and lab-based, limiting rapid response.

  • Raman spectroscopy (including SERS with lateral flow immunoassay) enables fast, on-site, highly sensitive detection of allergens at trace levels
