Raman spectra data for TCMs.rar

Raman spectroscopy is a rapid, non-invasive, and non-destructive method, featuring high chemical specificity for different biological materials and low sensitivity to water. This makes it ideal for natural medicines, as it offers a relatively objective and comprehensive characterization for their complicated material basis. Therefore, Raman spectroscopy plays a crucial role in the identification of medicinal properties, authentication of authenticity, and quality control of TCMs. At present, TCMRSD stands as the only downloadable, comprehensive Raman spectral database for TCMs, which encompasses spectra of 327 Chinese medicines collected through rigorous methodological validation. The selection of TCMs for database development is based on the considerations of diversity of medicines, medicinal importance and variety of medicinal properties, in order to guarantee a comprehensive range and representation of substances used in Chinese medicine.
