Identifying Macromolecules (PDF)

Last year, we released a content series titled “Advancing Agriculture for Future Generations.” Here, we compile some of the latest studies in this space.

An interview with Paul Pudney, a winner of the William F. Meggers Award.

Researchers have demonstrated the potential of deep ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy (DUVRS) as a rapid, nondestructive, and sensitive tool for detecting antihistamines like cetirizine in oral fluid samples, paving the way for broader forensic applications.

An interview with Charles Wilkins, the winner of the 2013 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Company.

To improve the robustness and accuracy of logistic regression identification method, a new Raman spectroscopy identification method was proposed that combines a distributionally robust optimization technique and fused lasso technique with logistic regression. Then, Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze two types of dairy products that were collected for anti-jamming identification testing to verify the effectiveness of the new method.

Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed an innovative dual-wavelength Raman spectroscopy method that eliminates fluorescence interference in measuring esophageal tissue samples. This development enables precise identification of molecular changes in these tissues, with potential applications in early esophageal cancer diagnosis.
