Silver salts of aromatic thiols applicable as core materials of molecular sensors operating via SERS and fluorescence

Biocompatible Triplex Ag@SiO2@mTiO2 Core–Shell Nanoparticles for Simultaneous Fluorescence‐SERS Bimodal Imaging and Drug Delivery

“…The F-SERS dots were checked to ensure that there was no apparent desorption of FMN from the mTiO 2 shells, even after 7 days. Such a simple mixing process has an advantage over the previously used processes (covalent dye-conjugated silane chemistry [27, 9a] or dye-conjugated polyelectrolyte adsorption [28] ) that were complicated and time-consuming. As expected, fluorescence from FMN was obtained without a detectable SERS signal when the probe was excited by light at 460 nm, whilst strong SERS signals from 4-Mpy were detected without fluorescence when the tag was excited by light at 632.8 nm.…”

Backside SERS studies of inhibitor transport through polyelectrolyte films on Ag-substrates

“…Polyelectrolyte films containing Ag nanoparticles were reported as SERS active films exhibiting a dramatically enhanced Raman scattering cross sections [50,51]. However, in the used sample geometry the SERS activity of Ag nanoparticles is of minor influence for the overall detected SERS signal.…”

Highly reproducible immunoassay of cancer markers on a gold-patterned microarray chip using surface-enhanced Raman scattering imaging

“…Recently, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based detection technique has been considered as a promising alternative for highly sensitive detection in ELISA microarrays (Lim et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010;Song et al, 2009;Bao et al, 2009;Stevenson et al, 2009;Li et al, 2008Li et al, , 2009Abell et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2009;Das et al, 2009;Lin et al, 2008;Fang et al, 2008). Typically, this technique also utilizes the protocol of sandwich immunocomplex assay.…”
