SERS substrates
INDUSTRY PROJECT
Aim of the project
Developing a fabrication technology for substrates with a highly sensitive and uniform SERS signal for the detection of various analytes.
Main advantages of the product
  • 1
    Highly sensitive and uniform signal
    Ability to detect analytes at concentrations down to 10^-12 M with a concentration error less than 10%.
  • 2
    High speed
    Measuring SERS signal takes less than a minute.
  • 3
    Versatility
    Ability to detect multiple compounds on a single platform without the need to functionalize the sample surface.
  • 4
    Low cost
    Scalable technology of substrate fabrication allows simultaneously obtaining large areas at minimal cost.
  • 5
    Portability
    The use of SERS substrates combined with a portable Raman spectrometer enables substance analysis outside of laboratories.
Areas of application
  • Diagnosis of diseases
    Highly sensitive detection of biomarkers of various diseases at early stages.
  • Food control
    Detection of pesticides, various dangerous bacteria, etc. in food products.
  • Environmental analysis
    Detection of pollutants in wastewater and air.
  • Identification of prohibited and hazardous substances
