Detection of scopolamine hydrobromide via surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy

Abstract

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used to measure scopolamine hydrobromide. First, the Raman characteristic peaks of scopolamine hydrobromide were assigned, and the characteristic peaks were determined. The optimal aggregation agent was potassium iodide based on a comparative experimental study. Finally, the SERS spectrum of scopolamine hydrobromide was detected in aqueous solution, and the semi-quantitative analysis and the recovery rate were determined via a linear fitting. The detection limit of scopolamine hydrobromide in aqueous solution was 0.5 μg/mL. From 0 - 10 μg/mL, the curve of the intensity of the Raman characteristic peak of scopolamine hydrobromide at 1002 cm -1 is y = 4017.76 + 642.47x. The correlation coefficient was R 2 = 0.983, the recovery was 98.5 - 109.7%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was about 5.5%. This method is fast, accurate, non-destructive and simple for the detection of scopolamine hydrobromide.
