Abstract:
In the present paper we report quantitative analysis of glucose using internal standard laser Raman spectra. A good linear correlation was observed between the intensities of the -COO band at 1 125 cm(-1) using excition wavelength of 632.81 nm (r = 0.998 8) and the glucose concentration over the range 0-1.8 mol x L(-1). Band intensities were normalized against an internal standard (water band at 1 643 cm(-1)), and the limit of detection (L. O. D.) of glucose is 0.022 7 mol x L(-1). The interference ions would not influence the quantitative analysis. When this method was used to determine 5% glucose NaCl, 5% glucose, and 10% glucose injections, the result showed that the recoveries are 71.88%-126.31%, 81.02%-124.89% and 74.87%-121.32%, and the RSDs are 5.44%, 4.34% and 0.94%, respectively. The non destructive, non intrusive nature of the method makes internal standard laser Raman spectra a convenient, accurate, and green quantitative analysis method.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
Raman Spectroscopy: Overview
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and the...
