Nanoplasmonic structures designed for trace analyte detection by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy typically require sophisticated nanofabrication techniques. An alternative to fabricating such arrays is to rely on self-assembly of nanoparticles at liquid-liquid or liquid-air interfaces into close-packed arrays.The density of the arrays can be fine tuned by modifying the nanoparticle functionality, pH of the solution, and salt concentration. Importantly, these arrays are robust, "self-healing", reproducible, and extremely easy to handle. Herein, we report on the use of such platforms made of Au nanoparticles for detection of (multi)analytes from the aqueous, organic, or air phases. The total interfacial area of the Au array, at the liquid-liquid interface, is approximately 25 mm 2 , making this platform ideal for small volume samples, low concentrations, and trace analytes. Importantly, the ease of assembly and rapid 2 detection makes this platform ideal for in-field sample testing of toxins such as explosives, drugs, or other hazardous chemicals.3
