The National Gemstone Testing Centre has been using Renishaw’s confocal Raman microscopes for non-destructive identification and characterization of gemstones.
Raman spectroscopy uses laser light scattering to provide a chemical fingerprint at each point of the analyzed area, and identifies the molecules present in samples.
The uniformity of a drug product’s contents is important from a handling/processing standpoint and is important for patient safety to ensure that the correct dose is delivered.
