From Cellular Pathways to Drug Forms: Tools for Molecular Analysis

Biological and pharmaceutical research relies on techniques that capture molecular structure, function and quality at every stage. Raman microscopy supports discovery, formulation and QA through label‑free chemical analysis, while fluorescence, FLIM imaging and PLIM reveal emission properties, microenvironments and metabolic activity essential to understanding biological and drug behaviour.
