Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy (LTRS)
By Novanta Photonics
One in two people born after 1960 in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø of cancer tissue at the bulk level means individual cell attributes are averaged, and therefore single cell methods are of interest, both in a diagnostic setting and in the context of drug-cell interaction studies. In recent years, significant progress has been made into the label-free detection and discrimination of individual cancer cells using Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy (LTRS). However, LTRS methods have invariably involved a high degree of manual intervention, and before this technique can be translated into a clinical setting a greater degree of automation is required.
