Re: [DIYbio] Re: I want to test my own food - where do I start

I assume that Raman would be great if one is testing a bulk substitution like if milk is replaced with palm oil. What technique is good for traces? Like traces of heavy metals or small carcinogenic compounds in food?  

I didn't look closely but that DIY Raman looks like an overkill. Raman would be a fairly easy to make with nonmoving parts. You need a lens, grating, filter and CCD (ok if you don't have a ccd and have a single detector, then you need a motor)  and laser of course. I would buy from ebay.
