You can equip your Renishaw Raman system with a cell incubator. This chamber can control temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity to keep cells in their normal physiological states during analysis.
Live cell data provides a better representation of any dynamic processes than end point experiments. For example, you can monitor the cells' response to changes in their environment or drugs. These responses may manifest themselves as metabolic or morphological changes, or cell death (apoptosis), all of which are detectable by Raman spectroscopy.
