Abstract
Biochemical analysis of living systems such as single cells benefits greatly from the label-free and low-invasive molecular mapping with Raman microspectroscopy. Sets of Raman spectra at different spatial points are analyzed to generate Raman molecular maps corresponding to specific chemical species. However, human error and subjective data analysis can be technical issues that limit interpretation and its validity. Here, we present an objective data analysis scheme for postprocessing large data sets of Raman spectra for molecular mapping of living cells. The process comprises three steps: (i) Denoising the spectral data set using low-rank approximation; (ii) obtaining an objective background from data points outside the target cell; (iii) subtracting the thus obtained background using Hypothetical Addition Multivariate Analysis with Numerical Differentiation (HAMAND) via an…
