In part 2 of our interview with Oskar Hagelskjaer of Microplastic Solution, he discusses the benefits of using automated Raman microspectroscopy to detect and analyze microplastics in drinking water.

Raman micro-spectroscopy is a highly effective method for identifying and classifying cancer cells and tissues. Studies have shown good accuracy in detecting bladder, cervical, and oral cancer compared to standard pathology (1). However, despite being non-invasive and cost-effective, its slow recording time and lack of reproducibility have hindered its clinical adoption (1).
