New Low Cost Anti-Counterfeit Medicine Device Patented

A New Jersey custom laser manufacturer,  PD-LD, has been awarded a US patent on a low-cost Raman monitoring device that can be used to detect counterfeit medicine.

The device doesn't need the expensive components that other Raman spectrometers need, reports Securing Pharma. 

Using low-cost lasers, similar to those in DVD drives, combined with laser-stabilizing technology, the device can determine chemical sources of samples.  

The devices are considerably smaller as well, estimated at a few cubic centimeters.
