Raman Analysis of Single Bacteria Cells

The ability to identify microbes within a sample remains a significant challenge in environmental and medical research. Since many bacteria cannot be isolated and cultured, traditional analytical techniques based upon cultures present major drawbacks for bacteria analysts. The combination of Raman and microscopy in the confocal Raman microscope instrument such as the LabRAM allows even discrete individual bacteria cells to be successfully analyzed ina  matter of minutes–without the need for culturing.
