Methanol contamination in low-quality or counterfeit alcoholic beverages poses serious health risks. Lightnovo’s miniaturized Raman spectrometers provide a rapid, reliable, and non-invasive method to identify and quantify methanol directly through glass bottles.
Key Highlights:
- Instrumentation: Measurements were conducted using Lightnovo’s miniRaman spectrometer equipped with a 785 nm laser.
- Accurate Quantification: Achieved a limit of detection (LoD) as low as 0.07% and a limit of quantification (LoQ) of 0.25%, exceeding the sensitivity of conventional Raman systems.
- Non-Destructive Testing: Methanol concentrations in water-ethanol solutions were measured without opening the bottles, ensuring fast and effective analysis.
Lightnovo’s Raman technology enables precise methanol detection, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. This compact solution supports industries in combating counterfeit alcohol and protecting public health.
