Raman microspectroscopy in human pathology.

F F de Mul, H Buiteveld, J Lankester

Human Pathology

|November 1, 1984

Summary

Raman microspectroscopy identified inhaled particles like talc and quartz in human tissues. This technique also revealed the composition of pulmonary "blue bodies," aiding in understanding particle-related lung conditions.

Automated Microbial Diagnostics

Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...
