Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is an optical technique that offers label-free biomolecular analyses, providing information on kinetic processes (association and dissociation), binding affinity, analyte concentration and real time molecule detection. It has become a powerful tool for the analysis of biomolecular events involved in drug development, cancer research, and antibody screening

Exposure to warm/humid conditions may cause pharmaceutical formulations to undergo change in hydration level, affecting properties and/or efficiency of the drug. Raman spectroscopy, with a temperature and humidity controller can mimic harsh conditions, monitor properties of ingredients and track modifications induced by environmental changes.

Time‐resolved Fluorescence can analyze potential health benefits from antioxidant activity of curcumin, found in turmeric. Curcuminoids, weakly fluorescent in aqueous solution, show quantum yield increases upon interaction with a protein, such as human serum albumin.
