However, controlling the intensity of the Raman signal depends on a large number of factors such as the wavelength of the laser light, the optical components of each device, or the number of molecules in the illuminated volume. For this reason, in this study, a new protocol has been applied to twin Raman devices to achieve a conversion of the signal between them, by pairing the intensity response of the units using a reference sample. The new reference material is a homogenous dispersion of a 0.5 wt% anatase (titanium dioxide, or TiO<sub>2</sub>) in an epoxy resin matrix, with deviations <2.5% in Raman intensity across the reference material. The proposed protocol for Raman-twinned devices takes a well-defined approach that leads to obtaining a correction factor that relates the differences in the signal intensity between the two Raman devices, in order to obtain the same Raman intensity counts. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated based on the data from the devices, which presented the most common user cases: twinning Raman devices of the non-confocal same model for two different wavelengths; and twinning confocal and non-confocal devices. The results obtained show that the protocol has worked for both of the Raman twinning cases, allowing the Raman intensity harmonization of Raman spectra between two different devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":8253,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy","volume":" ","pages":"837-850"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11340242/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141320438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Raman spectroscopy reflects the intrinsic vibration information of molecules in a label-free and non-destructive manner, and the fingerprint Raman spectrum of cells characterizes intracellular molecular types and relative concentration information, so as to realize the identification and molecular metabolism analysis of different kinds of cells. We collected the Raman spectra of bone marrow cells from clinically diagnosed AML M2 patients with and without the AE fusion gene. Through comparison of the average spectra and identification analysis based on multivariate statistical methods such as principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis, the distinction between AE positive and negative sample cells in M2 AML patients was successfully achieved, and the single-cell identification accuracy was more than 90%. At the same time, the Raman spectra of the two types of cells were analyzed by the multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares decomposition method. It was found that the presence of the AE fusion gene may lead to the metabolic changes of lipid and nucleic acid in AML cells, which was consistent with the results of genomic and metabolomic multi-omics studies.

Herein, ANS was modified to form an ANS group of uniform materials based on organic salts (GUMBOS), prepared with simple metathesis reactions and distinct cations, namely tetrabutylammonium (N<sub>4444</sub>), tetrahexylammonium (N<sub>6666</sub>), and tetrabutylphosphonium (P<sub>4444</sub>). These ANS-based GUMBOS were investigated as fluorescent probes for membrane binding studies with four proteins having distinct physicochemical properties. Liposomes of 1,2-dimyristoyl-<i>sn</i>-glycero-3-phosphocholine were employed as membrane models as a result of their ability to mimic the structure and chemical composition of cell membranes. Changes in fluorescence intensity were used to monitor protein binding to liposomes, and adsorption data were fitted to a Freundlich-like isotherm. It was determined that [N<sub>4444</sub>][ANS] and [P<sub>4444</sub>][ANS] GUMBOS have enhanced optical properties and lipophilicity as compared to parent ANS. As a result, these two GUMBOS were selected for subsequent protein-membrane binding studies. Both [N<sub>4444</sub>][ANS] and [P<sub>4444</sub>][ANS] GUMBOS and parent ANS independently reached membrane saturation within the same concentration range. Furthermore, distinct fluorescence responses were observed upon the addition of proteins to each probe, which demonstrates the impact of properties such as lipophilicity on the binding process. The relative maintenance of binding cooperativity and maximum fluorescence intensity suggests that proteins compete with ANS-based probes for the same membrane binding sites. Finally, this GUMBOS-based approach is simple, rapid, and involves relatively small amounts of reagents, making it attractive for high-throughput purposes.

Two-trace two-dimensional (2T2D) correlation analysis was then applied to the sets of NIR spectra to clearly reveal the subtle but pertinent difference between the NIR spectral features of the initial and deformed SBR. The initial deformation of the sample induces greater deformation of the soft butadiene groups than of the hard styrene groups. The inclusion of the silica filler and a coupling agent (CA) essentially develops firm links between the silica and butadiene via the CA to restrict the displacement of the butadiene during the tensile deformation of the system. The development of such linkage requires even more mechanical force to deform the SBR, which, in turn, improves Young's modulus of the rubber system. Asynchronous correlation spectra of SBR with no silica filler revealed that, during the deformation of the SBR, the butadiene groups were initially deformed, and this feature was then replaced by the predominant deformation of the hard styrene groups.

To address this issue, a method based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and multivariate analysis was developed in this study for estimating the compressive strength of concrete non-destructively, ensuring the non-influence of the coarse aggregate spatial distribution. The method is based on the correlation between the emission intensity of the spectrum and the hardness of the object to be measured.
