Streamlining QC Analysis with Next-Generation Raman Spectroscopy

While traditional wet chemistry methods remain essential for quality control laboratories and method development, they often involve complex sample preparation, produce chemical waste, and require lengthy analysis times. As laboratories seek to streamline workflows and increase throughput, Raman spectroscopy emerges as a rapid, non-invasive, and environmentally friendly alternative for routine testing, offering significant advantages over conventional wet chemistry techniques.

In addition to highlighting the benefits of Raman spectroscopy for routine measurements, this webinar will showcase several practical applications of real-world measurements using Raman spectroscopy. Attendees will learn how Raman spectroscopy can be applied to determining phosphate content, thereby supporting consistent nutrient profiles in materials such as fertilizers.

Frano will also explore quality control of chocolate with Raman spectroscopy, including compositional verification. Finally, she will discuss the application of Raman spectroscopy to measure amine values in resins, allowing for a faster assessment of curing performance and material quality.
