Project: Metrology for Raman spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy is a technique that uses scattered light to identify and map the distribution of chemicals and structures at the micro- or nanoscale. It is used by the pharmaceutical, healthcare, biotechnology, nanotechnology and forensic science sectors and is a fast and non-destructive method. However, Raman spectroscopy is relatively new to measurement science and is not currently accepted by regulatory bodies for the approval of drugs, as the data it provides is not yet traceable. This project will address the regulatory needs of Raman spectroscopy, by improving measurement reliability, establishing traceability to the SI Units mole and metre, and by developing reference samples. It will also provide measurement standards for spatial resolution, depth resolution and confocality; a specific request from device manufacturers. The results of the project will improve the use of Raman spectroscopy for high resolution chemical and structural identification, with applications in experimental science, industry and healthcare.
