Background: Raman tweezers spectroscopy (RTS) is a powerful tool that combines optical tweezers and Raman spectroscopy to study single living cells. RTS has become increasingly popular in biomedical and clinical research due to its high molecular specificity and sensitivity, which enable the study of cell viability, cell deformation, cell-protein, cell-nanoparticle, cell-cell interaction, etc. In transfusion medicine, RTS can give valuable insights into the storage lesions and effects of various preservatives and intravenous fluids on blood cells.
