Recent research highlights the potential of liquid biopsy combined with Raman spectroscopy (RS) in diagnosing brain disorders. These innovative techniques offer non-invasive, precise, and continuous monitoring capabilities, presenting a promising future for early detection and intervention in conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Ioan Notingher and a team of researchers from the University of Nottingham and the University of London presented a non-destructive technique based on autofluorescence (AF) imaging and Raman spectroscopy for intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) excised in breast cancer surgery.

In this study, a glycerol-fed, lab-scale E. coli bioprocess producing representative pharmaceutical compounds was monitored offline with a portable, high-sensitivity Raman spectrometer.

In a recent study from China University of Mining and Technology, researchers introduced a new fusion model using Raman spectroscopy technology to ensure the authenticity of dairy products.

Researchers have proposed an innovative approach to tackling fluorescence interference in Raman spectroscopy by using LEGO blocks as standard samples. This new method offers a low-cost, rugged, and reproducible alternative to the complex liquid mixtures traditionally used in such studies, marking a significant advancement in the field of spectroscopic analysis.

A recent study uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), and infrared spectroscopy (IR), to measure molecular complexity.

Ellis R. Lippincott is one of the most influential spectroscopists of the past 100 years. He has been a notable research figure in molecular spectra and structure studies using infrared and Raman spectroscopy; in the study of potential energy functions, including hydrogen bonding; and in the invention and study of high pressure spectroscopic studies using the high-pressure diamond anvil cell. He also has applied spectroscopic techniques and analysis to the study of planetary atmospheres, to biochemistry, and to chemical lasers.
