The Raman spectra of human blood serum can be used to identify cancer or other diseases; however, obtaining a reliable surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal of human blood serum is difficult. Two primary factors that affect SERS measurement of serum are photodegradation and sample composition, which are investigated in this research. In the end, this research proposes a promising set of measurement conditions that can both acquire reliable serum Raman signals and avoid photodegradation.
