Spectroscopy offers several advantages in bioanalytical sciences:
Non-destructive Analysis: Many spectroscopic techniques do not require the sample to be destroyed, allowing for further analysis. High Sensitivity and Specificity: Spectroscopy can detect low concentrations of analytes with high specificity, making it ideal for trace analysis. Versatility: A wide range of spectroscopic methods can be applied to various types of samples, from small molecules to complex biomolecules. Rapid and Real-time Analysis: Many spectroscopic techniques provide quick results, enabling real-time monitoring of biochemical processes.
