Sers substrates with unmatched reproduciblity and sensitivity
There is an urgent need for technologies that are capable of rapid and inexpensive monitoring of our health status. There is also an urgent demand for devices and methods capable of monitoring our exposure to environmental factors such as contamination and pollution.
Our SERS substrates are used to detect the presence of low concentration analytes, even going down to a single molecule
SERS measurement of several analytes were accquired from ENHANSERS substrates with lasers of different wavelengths.The reproduciblity of the substrates was tested with low concerntration of analytes and a low laser power, resulting in greater enhancements.
High sensitivity (ppb)
Point of use solution
Fast result (seconds)
ENHANSERS can be used for medical applications, pharmaceutical applications, food safety and preparation, water quality monitoring, catalytic activity measurements, defense, customs & security applications and more.
- Investigate pollution in water or air
- Quality control of drinking water -> more toxicities in drinking water due to drug residues
- which are harder to detect
- Consumable SERS chips to detect different kinds of drugs at customs
- Direct testing on drug sites to determine the kind of drugs and toxicity levels.
- Quality control
- Detecting chemical hazards (antibiotics, pesticides,colorant)
- Detecting microbiological contaminants ( viruses, food born pathogens)
- Quality control of production and (new) medications
- Clinical diagnostics of disease and disorders
