Abstract:
Taking the serum obtained from daily clinical inspection as study object, the Raman spectra were collected with the range of 250 to 2 400 cm(-1). Taking the serum cholesterol content determined by traditional clinical biochemical method as contrast, together with combination of PLS, we established a Raman spectroscopy quantitative models for cholesterol content in serum. The experimental results show that Raman spectroscopy displacement could reflect certain chemical group in organic compound. The correction model of cholesterol content in serum was established with the coefficient R = 0.909 6, cross-validation calibration standard deviation (RMSECV) of 0. 24, standard error of prediction of test set (RMSEP) was 0.69, and coefficient (R) is 0.926 2. The results showed that application of Raman spectroscopy combined with chemometrics in the rapid noninvasive detection of serum cholesterol content is feasible.

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...
