Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview01:26

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview

1.5K
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
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...

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a micro-jet waveguide (150 μm diameter) for total internal reflection-based optofluidic detection.
  • Integrated a recirculation system to minimize sample volume requirements.
  • Performed multiwavelength fluorescence spectroscopy on eosin Y and riboflavin.
  • Conducted Raman spectroscopy on water-ethanol solutions.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a limit of detection of 33 pM for eosin Y fluorescence.
  • Demonstrated a limit of detection of 0.18% for water-ethanol mixtures using Raman spectroscopy.
  • Detected riboflavin at 560 pM (0.21 ng L⁻¹) via fluorescence.
