Combining a #Multispectral Camera and #Spectrometer for #Spectral Data Acquisition and #Noninvasive Blood Composition Measurement

#SAS #Spectroscopy #bloodanalysis #hyperspectral
Image of finger clip with apertures for light, hyperspectral camera (HSC) and spectrometer. A scheme, indicating that the computer analyzes the combined signals from the HSC and spectrometer. A graph, indicating a good correlation (k=0.92) between the true and predicted values of HGB-Model 3 in blood. Text Box: Conclusion: Spectrometers have low amplitude resolution and accuracy, while HSPs suffer from limited number of wavelength channels. To solve this, we propose a method of acquiring spectrometer data combined with HSP and modelling the data. This combines the advantages of both, and effectively improves the accuracy of the non-invasive blood components measurements.

Detection of β-Hydroxybutyric Acid Based on a Fluorescent Probe of Lanthanide Complexes
#SAS #Spectroscopy #UVVis #fluorescence #diabetic #ketoacidosis #diabetes #mellitus
Left part shows Tb3+ ions foeming somplex with 4-MBA and two water molecules. The water molecules are exchanged with two beta-Hb molecules. The complexes are excited by 317 nm and emit at 539 nm. The right part shows the emission intensity (at 530-550 nm) is linear in the range of 4 to 55 uM of beta-Hb (r^2=0.998).

The left panel shows a continuous reactor with a Raman probe monitoring the reaction. The right pane shows 2nd derivative of Raman spectra (1580-1720 cm^-1) of Form A, Form C and series of in-line polymorphs. The 1695-1705 cm^-1 range is grayed, since Form A has an unique peak there.

Impact of Pulsing a Radio Frequency Glow Discharge Lamp on Emission Yields and Analytical Figures of Merit in Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy
Read more at: https://doi.org/10.1177/00037028251356458
#spectroscopy #SAS
What is the impact of pulsing a RF glow discharge lamp on emission yield (EY) and analytical figures of merit in GD-OES? The EY in RF GD-OES are not very much affected by pulsing the RF source at constant set power - constant voltage. This means that quantification of CDP ddata does not require a separate calibration for each setting of pulse parameters. For "high-current" pulsing, it was shown that for several analytical lines the Signal/Background, S/N and precision can be improved by source conditions with high effective current in the pulses. For CDP applications "high current" pulsing can be used without significant loss of depth resolution. This indicates that detection limits and precision in CDP applications can be improved by appropriate use of source pulsing
