Description
Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive optical technique for detecting molecules on a sample surface, and it is well-suited for the quantification of organic molecules within a mixture. Convenient hand-held Raman spectroscopes are currently manufactured by Ocean Optics, a recognized world leader in the manufacture of miniaturized spectrometers, and we propose to customize one for specific use by military personnel. Our team combines expertise in enhanced Raman (including surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, SERS) and textiles with device manufacturing capability resulting in a reliable route to an effective in-situ permethrin detector.
