Do We Use Charge Sign in Electric Field Intensity Formula?

Guys, when utilizing the electric field intensity formula ( Fe=qE), do we use the sign of the charge (q)? I think we do, but I remain confused!

Yes. The force on a negative charge is in the opposite direction of the E field.

thankyou!
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
