“…Remote detection of atmospheric haloalkanes of interest at a high altitude poses considerable technological or logistic challenges. Laser sources could be used to remotely excite and fragment the target haloalkane molecules, followed by their identification and quantification using optical emission [155]. Hitachi's Vulcan Handheld LIBS Metal Analyzer represents one of the fastest metal analyzers available today.…”

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) has been a valuable analytical technique since the 1970s that has only been made more useful through advances in other scientific fields such as biochemistry. Moreover, advances in laser and detector technology have seen a decrease in LIF detector costs and an increase in their ease of use. These changes have allowed for LIF technology to be widely adopted for various sensor designs in combination with advanced instruments. With advances in biochemistry necessitating the detection of complex metabolites, labelling with fluorescent chemical reagents may be necessary to improve detection sensitivity. Furthermore, advances made in fluorescent labeling technologies have allowed for the use of LIF in the detection of nanoparticles as well as for imaging techniques using nanoparticles as signal amplifiers. This technology has become invaluable in the detection of environmental pollutants, monitoring of biological metabolites, biological imaging, and cancer diagnosis, making it one of the most valuable analytical science techniques currently available.
