Abstract:
The authors acquired Raman spectra of three kinds of estrogen by portable Raman spectrometer, including 17beta-estradiol (C18H24O2), estriol (C18H24O3 ) and diethylstilbestrol (18H20O2 ). Analysis, comparison and simulation of the three estrogens were carried out, and the diethylstilbestrol Raman spectrum, which is hard to detect, was acquiredt by surface enhanced Raman scattering technology. Results show that Raman technique can detect 17beta-estradiol (C18H24O2), estriol (C18H24O3) and diethylstilbestrol (C18H2O2) quickly and accurately.

01:26Raman 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...
