    Abstract: A method of determining the identity and concentration of a target analyte present in a biological sample includes: introducing a first target analyte into a hollow core of an optical fiber; introducing a first reference calibrant into the hollow core of the optical fiber; transmitting light from a laser light source through the hollow core of the optical fiber and the first target analyte to generate a first Raman anti-Stokes analyte emission corresponding to the first target analyte; receiving the first Raman anti-Stokes analyte emission at a spectral analysis system optically coupled to the optical fiber; and deriving Raman anti-Stokes spectral peaks or spectra of the first target analyte at the spectral analysis system based on the first Raman anti-Stokes analyte emission.

    Abstract: Double-walled containment cells are described as may be used for storage, transport, and examination of a sample held within the cell by use of optical analysis techniques. A double-walled containment cell can include multiple types of windows that can be located as desired on the containment cells and thereby provide for optical access to a sample for multiple optical analysis techniques. Disclosed containment cells can be sized and designed for use with existing optical analysis systems, e.g., laser ablation, X-ray diffraction, spectral analysis (e.g., Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, etc.), imaging analysis, etc.

    Abstract: A fiber optic probe is provided with a distal sampling end, a proximal end, and light delivery and collection paths therethrough. The probe includes a window disposed at the distal sampling end of the fiber optic probe, the window having a distal end and a proximal end. A lens is disposed at the proximal end of the window, the lens having a distal end, a proximal end, and an aperture. A light delivery optical fiber is provided having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end being received by the lens aperture. An optical isolator provided within the lens aperture to optically isolate the light delivery path and the light collection path. A collection optical fiber is provided in optical communication with the fiber collection filter. The probe may include a lens collection filter disposed between the window and the lens.
