Rapid, noninvasive concentration measurements of aqueous biological analytes by near-infrared Raman spectroscopy

Appl Opt. 1996 Jan 1;35(1):209-12. doi: 10.1364/AO.35.000209.

Abstract

Accurate concentration measurements of glucose, lactic acid, and creatinine in saline solution have beena chieved with near-IR Raman spectroscopy and a partial least-squares analysis. The Raman spectra were acquired remotely through optical fibers. A root-mean-squared prediction error of 1.2 mM for glucose concentration was achieved in 100 s. Concentrations of other analytes were predicted with similar accuracy.
