Quantitative Raman spectroscopy of breast cancer malignancy utilizing higher-order principal components: A preliminary study

A major challenge in analyses of molecular spectra from biological samples has been the detection of trace biomarkers, which are subtle biochemical alterations (in parts per million (ppm)) caused by disease, buried in pronounced background fluorescence. We report a quantitative chemometrics-assisted...

description A major challenge in analyses of molecular spectra from biological samples has been the detection of trace biomarkers, which are subtle biochemical alterations (in parts per million (ppm)) caused by disease, buried in pronounced background fluorescence.
