SERS Substrates
High sensitivity gold and silver SERS lets you make fast, repeatable measurements for the identification and quantification of SERS-active analytes. Typical applications include trace level detection of pesticides and narcotics and precision screening of food ingredients for controlled additives such as melamine. SERS substrates also can be used for authentication and anti-counterfeiting applications using SERS-active taggants.
- High sensitivity -- substrates demonstrate superior sensitivity for a range of analytes
- Great stability -- highly stable substrates require no special handling and can be stored at room temperature
- Reproducibility -- highly reproducible and easily scaled manufacturing methods enable sensitive measurements at an affordable price
- Customized form factors -- unique production techniques can be tailored to impart specificity to analytes (on demand) and to custom form factors such as swabs and coatings
- SERS-active chemistry -- gold (AU) or silver (Ag) nanoparticles
