Abstract
ABSTRACTA novel method is reported to discriminate human and animal blood by Raman spectroscopy without complex sample preparation. A partial least squares discriminant analysis model was constructed from a calibration set of Raman spectra from three species of animal blood using 785-nm laser excitation. The discrimination between human and nonhuman blood was calculated by three sigma. Various performance measures, including a blind test and external validation, confirmed the discriminatory performance of the chemometric model. The model provided 100% accuracy in its differentiation between human and nonhuman blood. These results demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a promising tool for the discrimination of animal and human blood.
