Structure matters. Even when molecules share the same formula and mass, compounds such as ethylene oxide and acetaldehyde can have different structures—making accurate identification critical. This is especially important in food safety, where compounds like ethylene oxide are carcinogenic and must be reliably detected.
Molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectroscopy provides direct, structure-specific identification through unique spectral fingerprints — even in challenging aqueous and injection‑unfriendly matrices. This approach provides definitive results with minimal sample preparation and no chromatography.
