Advancing Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Personalized Medicine
February 12th 2025Researchers have developed a novel approach to improve the accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS or NIR) in quantifying highly porous, patient-specific drug formulations. By combining machine learning with advanced Raman imaging, the study enhances the precision of non-destructive pharmaceutical analysis, paving the way for better personalized medicine.
New Method for Detecting Fentanyl in Human Nails Using ATR FT-IR and Machine Learning
February 11th 2025Researchers have successfully demonstrated that human nails can serve as a reliable biological matrix for detecting fentanyl use. By combining attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy with machine learning, the study achieved over 80% accuracy in distinguishing fentanyl users from non-users. These findings highlight a promising, noninvasive method for toxicological and forensic analysis.
