    Quicker checks for safer water

  • Quicker checks for safer water | Chemistry World - Scientists in the Netherlands have developed and tested a new method that uses Raman spectroscopy to quickly identify harmful bacteria in drinking water. This could prevent contaminated drinking water from making people ill by detecting deadly bacteria before it ever reaches the tap.(10.1039/c3ay40289d)
