What Are the Challenges Associated with Spectroscopic Methods in Toxicology?
Despite their advantages, spectroscopic methods face several challenges:
- Sample Complexity: The complexity of biological samples can interfere with spectroscopic analysis, necessitating extensive sample preparation or advanced data processing techniques.
- Sensitivity Limitations: While many spectroscopic methods are sensitive, detecting ultra-trace levels of certain toxins can still be challenging.
- Instrument Costs: High initial and maintenance costs of sophisticated spectroscopic equipment can be a barrier for some research facilities.
