A look at the current market for Raman spectroscopy and some of the products and solutions available
In this webcast, we look at the potential of optical techniques, primarily Raman spectroscopy, in medical diagnostics - and the barriers to clinical translation. Details are given on the development of components and systems for use in monitoring antibiotic resistance, for example, as well as in cancer diagnosis and detecting viruses.

The partners are evaluating and testing a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrate for trace detection of materials.
Thanks to rapid technology advancements in recent years, Raman spectroscopy has become a routine, cost-efficient, and much appreciated analytical tool. In this white paper, we discuss important performance parameters to consider when selecting a laser for Raman spectroscopy experiments.
In this application note featuring the QE Pro-Raman+ spectrometer, we examine the curing rate of a two-part epoxy as a model system for monitoring the kinetics and reaction completion of industrial processes.
Raman spectroscopy is powerful and versatile analytical tool that is applied in a vast array of applications from materials science to medical diagnostics. In this white paper, Pro-Lite explains how a new class of spectrometers developed by Wasatch Photonics results in compact Raman spectrometers far faster and more sensitive than typical compact spectrometers.
In this application note a Raman microscope, with a heated stage, is used to observe phase transitions in two polymers - polyethylene and nylon-6.
In this application note the optimisation of gold nanoparticles are investigated using Edinburgh Instruments Raman microscope for the development of a SERS glucose sensor.

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
