Calibration and Validation of Raman Instruments What does it mean, and do I have to? Overview   Within our series of papers on harmonisation in Raman spectroscopy, we continue to describe how the calibration and validation of Raman data is achieved. Raman Spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for [...]

The Need of Harmonisation in Raman Spectroscopy? CHARISMA - a European initiative to normalise industrial use of Raman - by Dr Enrique Lozano Overview   Raman spectroscopy is a technique that involves scattering of monochromatic light, first observed by Sir C.V. Raman (i), after whom this technique is named. [...]

Why Raman Spectroscopy? Overview For identification and authentication purposes, the use of fundamental vibrational techniques is preferred to other techniques (e.g. chromatography) when possible, because results are easily reproducible, data contains information linked directly to physical and chemical properties, the limits of detection (and/or product deviations) are in general [...]
