Raman vs NIR Spectroscopy
StellarNet President Jason Pierce explains some practical differences of Raman and NIR spectroscopy, which include the inability for NIR to measure aqueous samples, surface area of detection, portability, specificity, SERS, and fluorescence. A demonstration of common nutraceuticals, supplements, and ingredients also shows how fluorescence can be problematic for botanical samples yet work well with NIR or Raman 1064nm.
