Method for Quantifying Solutions Comprised of Multiple Analytes

Abstract

A method of determining the identity and concentration of a target analyte present in a biological sample includes: introducing a first target analyte into a hollow core of an optical fiber; introducing a first reference calibrant into the hollow core of the optical fiber; transmitting light from a laser light source through the hollow core of the optical fiber and the first target analyte to generate a first Raman anti-Stokes analyte emission corresponding to the first target analyte; receiving the first Raman anti-Stokes analyte emission at a spectral analysis system optically coupled to the optical fiber; and deriving Raman anti-Stokes spectral peaks or spectra of the first target analyte at the spectral analysis system based on the first Raman anti-Stokes analyte emission.
