Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive analysis technique that is outstanding for measuring the frequencies of chemical bond vibrations.
As these occur at particular energies relying on the exact chemical environment around the bond, a survey of varying frequencies can be used to ‘fingerprint’ distinct chemical compounds, even for complex chemical species, including monoclonal antibodies.
Raman spectroscopy can be utilized to quantify the levels of impurities for confirmation of the production of the desired products. One of the major challenges in the preparation of monoclonal antibodies is usually when chromatography is used in the purification process.
February 17, 2021 University of Minnesota Professor Allison Hubel brings a wealth of academic, business, and technology experience to her new role as director of the Technological Leadership Institute.
The University of Minnesota Technological Leadership Institute (TLI) is proud to announce the appointment of Professor Allison Hubel as TLI’s new director. College of Science and Engineering Dean Mos Kaveh appointed Hubel to a three-year term, making her the first woman to hold the position in the institute’s nearly 35-year history. “Professor Hubel brings a wealth of outstanding accomplishments and leadership experience as an educator, scholar and entrepreneur to TLI at a pivotal time of change and emerging opportunities for the institute,” Kaveh said. “I am extremely grateful that she has accepted this important responsibility. We are very fortunate.”
Product News: UniKLasers launch world’s first laser to operate with 349nm single frequency
16 Feb 2021
UniKLasers Limited, one of the leading manufacturers of high precision scientific laser instrumentation, has launched its new ultra-violet (UV) laser – The Duetto 349 – a single frequency DPSS CW device which emits at 349 nanometres (nm) with a 50 mW output – making it the world’s first laser to operate with single frequency at 349 nm.
The Duetto 349 is the latest in a portfolio of laser products that combine the key aspects of high power at an ultra-narrow linewidth, with exceptional spectral and power stability.
This high performance laser can be used across a wide range of scientific research and industrial engineering processes – including complex tasks such as Raman Spectroscopy, Flow Cytometry, Confocal Microscopy, High Precision Optics and Biomedical Engineering - applications where the laser system provides continuous wave (CW) to further enhance engineerin
Raman Spectroscopy: Improving the Food Production Process
In this interview, News-Medical Life Sciences talks to Karen Esmonde-White
from Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc.
and Ola Wesstrom from Endress+Hauser about their analysis solutions for improving food production.
What provoked your interest in the food and beverage manufacturing processes?
Karen: I have a background in pharmaceutical and biomedical research. In each of those fields, I helped to develop new Raman spectroscopy applications. As I move more into food applications, my experiences in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields have allowed me to make connections between these seemingly disparate fields which is something I enjoy tremendously.
