Chromosomal analysis and identification based on optical tweezers and Raman spectroscopy: comment.
The authors of the work: 'Chromosomal analysis and identification based on optical tweezers and raman spectroscopy' [Opt. Express 14, 5385 (2006], claim that they have been able to identify and differentiate between three human chromosomes with an optical-tweezer - Raman Spectroscopic experimental (LTRS) set-up. The results and conclusions as they are presented in the paper are questionable, however, when the spectral data and data analysis are studied in greater detail.
