Crit Rev Anal Chem. 2017 Jan 2;47(1):67-75. doi: 10.1080/10408347.2016.1209104. Epub 2016 Jul 12.

Abstract

Vibrational spectroscopy offers a unique opportunity to investigate the composition of unknown substances on a molecular basis. The spectroscopy of molecular vibrations using mid-infrared or Raman techniques has been applied to samples of body fluids. This review presents some applications related to body fluids published in the period 2005-2015.

Keywords: Body fluids analysis; Raman spectroscopy; vibrational spectroscopy.
