“…The latter allows amplification of the Raman scattering signal of the test sample due to the plasmon resonance effect, by 10 3 –10 9 times, and the subsequent detection of the pathogen in low concentrations (5 × 10 8 PFU/mL) [ 7 ]. Identification of viral particles by SERS spectroscopy has a number of potential advantages over classical diagnostic methods, such as the speed of testing and the possibility of diagnosing without the need to use specific antibodies or aptamers [ 7 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. On the other hand, there are developments that are aimed at the selective detection of a specific pathogen based on SERS substrates made from precious metal nanoparticles and immobilized antibodies or aptamers [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”
