Reprinted and modified with permission from Bergholt et al. (2017). Biochemically measured GAG and collagen contents of TE constructs after 0, 14, 28, 42, and 56 days of culture. (A) Mean Raman spectra ± 1 standard deviation (SD) of native cartilage and TE constructs after varying culture durations. (B,C) Correlations between the Raman prediction (in arbitrary units) and biochemically measured GAG and collagen, respectively, with linear fits to the data. Raman spectroscopy showed an excellent correlation with biochemical assays for measurement of collagen (R2 = 0.84) and GAG (R2 = 0.86).
