Abstract

The ability to obtain specific chemical information labelfree makes Raman spectroscopy attractive for many applications in clinical diagnostics of bodily fluids, pathogens, cells, and tissue biopsies. In this context chip-based sampling methods offering the opportunity to handle small sample volumes and to apply sample preparation steps are required. Here we will review some of our latest results in combining Raman spectroscopy with specially tailored chip-based sampling approaches for biomedical diagnosis.
