Analyzing Carbohydrates on Therapeutic Glycoproteins
Spectroscopy E-Books
A very important component of the characterization of therapeutic proteins is the analysis of the carbohydrate structures that are attached to them. Those carbohydrates play an important role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of these drugs, and are an important consideration when comparing a candidate biosimilar drug to its reference product. For advice on this topic,

Scientists Use Water and Light to Uncover Honey Adulteration
July 30th 2025In a 2025 study, Indian researchers demonstrated that combining near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with aquaphotomics enables rapid, non-destructive detection of adulterants in honey by analyzing changes in water’s spectral behavior. Using chemometric models, they accurately identified and quantified six common adulterants, offering a powerful tool for food authenticity and quality control.
Scientists Use AI and Spectroscopy to Detect Fake Honey in Bangladesh
July 29th 2025Researchers in Bangladesh have developed a rapid, non-destructive method to detect honey adulteration using UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy paired with machine learning. Their findings could protect consumers and support food quality enforcement.
