The small normal Raman cross-section of glucose is a major challenge in its detection by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for medical applications, such as blood glucose level monitoring of diabetic patients and evaluation of patients with other medical conditions, since glucose is a marker for many human diseases. Here…
Laser-induced fluorescence is the most common source of interfering baseline signal encountered in Raman measurements. It shows itself as a slowly changing background in a spectrum. One of the challenges in the successful use of Raman spectroscopy is to extract Raman signatures from this, orders of magnitude stronger, broadband fluorescence…
This issue celebrates European Pharmaceutical Review's 21st birthday through 21 interviews with leading lights from across the pharmaceutical industry...
The measurement and quantification of crystallinity in pharmaceuticals is of vital importance, as this has a direct influence on the solubility and stability of the final drug product, affecting both efficacy and expiration...
Confocal Raman imaging is a non-destructive microscopy technique that can identify the molecules in a sample and visualise their distribution in three dimensions...
Resulting from the combination of Raman spectroscopy and optical microscopy, Raman hyperspectral imaging has proven to be an indispensable tool in the pharmaceutical field. This article will broach a number of Raman hyperspectral imaging applications that were developed in our laboratory, to demonstrate the significance of the technique...
Raman spectroscopy is an analysis technique that provides a “molecular fingerprint” of the sample, enabling analysis of chemical composition and molecular structure without sample preparation..
With confocal Raman imaging the molecules of a sample can be chemically identified and their distribution can be imaged three-dimensionally...
Production of protein therapeutics by mammalian cells is the most widely used bioprocess because of its ability to properly produce and fold a recombinant protein...
Researchers have described a new method to study biochemical changes that occur in the pancreas during the development of diabetes...
With confocal Raman imaging the molecules of a sample can be chemically identified and their distribution can be imaged three-dimensionally...
Patients at risk of heart attacks and strokes may be spotted earlier thanks to a diagnosis tool that uses near-infrared light...
