It’s hard to imagine that not long ago Raman spectroscopy required a specialized laboratory staffed with highly trained scientists. Advances in electronics and optics have permitted Raman spectroscopy to be implemented as a user-friendly, turn-key, and inexpensive alternative for identification and quantification of various materials. Recently, Raman was reported as one of the fastest growing methodologies for industrial measurements. Analyst and production engineers are now putting Raman spectroscopy to work in a variety of environments, and today, Raman is a rugged and rapid analytical technique used throughout the world. For industry, Raman is a method of choice because of its speed and ease of sampling. Raman spectra are obtained in just a few seconds through glass containers such as HPLC vials, scintillation vials, ampoules, melting point tubes and NMR tubes. Spectra have been obtained through packaging materials such as blister packs and industrial containers such as plastic jugs.
