Abstract
The detection sensitivity of optoacoustic spectroscopy at the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) region is reduced by water absorption in aqueous solutions. Our work reports marked improvements in the sensitivity of optoacoustic spectroscopic measurements of proteins, lipids, and glucose when performed at 4 °C, compared to conventional optoacoustic or IR spectroscopy. Studying the effect of water temperature on optoacoustic signals revealed a polarity change at temperatures below 4 °C (muting temperature). The dependence of the optoacoustic signal and the muting temperature on sample concentration were further investigated, demonstrating that changes in these dependencies enable accurate quantification of the solute concentration.
