Can Raman spectroscopy analyze mixtures?

Yes, Raman spectroscopy can analyze mixtures even if interpretation may become more complex. The resulting spectrum often contains overlapping peaks from all components. Advanced software (e.g., multivariate analysis or spectral deconvolution) can help separate and identify individual substances. The identification of the individual components of a mixture may not always be unambiguous, especially if the mixture contains a higher number of components with overlapping spectral responses
