  1. The number of PCa cells detected by TGiA and RiA assays of three replicates of patients’ urine samples. OSAM microscopy was used to count the number of cells labelled with the Eu-Probe, and Raman spectroscopic signals of the RiA were approximated based on linear equation obtained from the spiked cells in urine (Fig. S8B). *The adjusted volume of patients’ urine tested for each replicate are shown in the last right column. *The mean PCa cells detected by TGiA and RiA were normalised to cells/mL.
