Ultrasensitive detection of chemicals and biological analytes has been a focus of a lot of studies in the recent years. In this search for the versatile detection technique, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has proved to be one powerful method. SERS is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy technique that allows for label free ultrasensitive detection. This method utilizes the Localized Surface Plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of nanoparticles. LSPR effect is profound in noble metals such as silver (Ag) and gold (Au). We have developed a novel SERS substrate using Ag dendrites that can be applied as a ready-to-use device in a …
