From lateral flow assays with Raman markers to cancer margin assessment in surgery and evaluation of antibiotic resistance in infections, Raman spectroscopy is emerging as a powerful tool in medical diagnostics. Its excellent specificity enables detection of even subtle differences between tissues and bacteria.
A Raman system for medical diagnostics must be reliable, reproducible, and easy to use. Manufacturing repeatability is essential to ensure transfer of spectral interpretation models, while affordability is critical for widespread adoption. Because the sample interface strongly influences measurement reliability, probe design must allow painless optimization.
In biological samples, Raman signals are often obscured by strong autofluorescence. Traditional approaches to reducing fluorescence are either limited in effectiveness or too complex and costly. Wasatch Photonics has developed innovative and highly effective solutions to this challenge, integrated across its entire Raman product line.
