Library-Based Screening of Pharmaceutical Materials by Handheld Raman and Near-Infrared Spectrometers
Spectroscopy E-Books
Here, we report our pilot efforts to perform rapid screening of anti-infective drugs for confirmation of drug product quality using near-infrared (NIR) and Raman library methods. The methods reported are nondestructive toward the sample and are designed to facilitate rapid physical testing of drugs at the point of use or in a field setting.

March 10th 2025Here, we provide a preview of our upcoming multi-day video series that will focus on recapping the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Conference, as well as documenting the current state of the forensic science industry.
Rapid, Portable Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy Identifies Aflatoxins in Peanuts
March 10th 2025Researchers have developed a portable mid-infrared (IR) spectroscopic method combined with chemometric analysis to rapidly and non-destructively detect aflatoxin contamination in Aspergillus-infected peanuts. This approach offers a field-deployable alternative to traditional wet chemistry methods, with high sensitivity and specificity in identifying toxic metabolites such as aflatoxins.
A New Radiation: C.V. Raman and the Dawn of Quantum Spectroscopy, Part II
March 10th 2025In this Icons of Spectroscopy column, Executive Editor Jerome Workman Jr. delves into Part II of the Raman Effect, discovered by C. V. Raman, a physicist whose major contributions to vibrational spectroscopy have helped shape the field and advance one of the most important quantum-based spectroscopy tools of recent generations.
