Abstract
A procedure is described for the measurement of clinically relevant concentrations of glucose in aqueous solutions with near-infrared (NIR) absorbance spectroscopy. A glucose band centered at 4400 cm-1 is used for this analysis. NIR spectra are collected over the frequency range 5000-4000 cm-1 with a Fourier transform spectrometer. A narrow-band-pass optical interference filter is placed in the optical path of the spectrometer to eliminate light outside this restricted range. This configuration provides a 2.9-fold reduction in spectral noise by utilizing the dynamic range of the detector solely for light transmitted through the filter. In addition, a novel spectral processing scheme is described for extracting glucose concentration information from the resulting absorbance spectra. The key component of this scheme is a digital Fourier filter that removes both high-frequency noise and low-frequency base-line variations from the spectra. Numerical optimization procedures are used to identify the best location and width of a Gaussian-shaped frequency response function for this Fourier filter. A dynamic area calculation, coupled with a simple linear base-line correction, provides an integrated area from the processed spectra that is linearly related to glucose concentrations over the range 1-20 mM. The linear calibration model accurately predicted glucose levels in a series of test solutions with an overall mean percent error of 2.5%. Based on the uncertainty in the parameters defining the calibration model and the variability of the magnitudes of the integrated areas, an overall uncertainty of 7.8% was estimated for predicted glucose concentrations.
