Project Deliverables

- Complete optical design of a portable Raman prototype
- Physical layout and construction of the portable Raman spectrometer, such that it can become a practical tool
- Complete performance analysis of aforementioned design as compared to previous Raman instrumentation
- Demonstration of nondestructive amino acid / fatty acid component analysis of bulk soybean specimens.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
