Abstract
This study aims to discriminate different types of illicit drugs ( MDMA and THC) in blood samples using surface- enhanced Raman spectroscopy ( SERS) combined with chemometric techniques including principal components analysis (PCA) and par tial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS- DA). A PLS- DA classification model was built using a training data set containing Raman spectra from control and experimental groups (drug-detected blood). PLS- DA was performed for discrimination and classification among blood samples. The scores obtained in the PLS- DA model were used to evaluate the performance of the created model. The leave one out cross-validation (LOOCV) method was used for calibration and validation of the PLS-DA model. In the study, it was observed that the SERS method and chemometric techniques together could be used in drug analysis, even at low concentrations in complex body fluids such as blood. As a result, Raman spectroscopy with PCA and PLS- DA methods of data analysis could be used extensively to build similar or different classification models.
