Au SERS Substrate - 10mm

10 X 10 mm active area Au SERS substrate on a microscope slide.
Single use substrate.
SERS substrate is hydrophilic, if drop casting it is advised to use a small amount of the liquid (5 μL recommended).

SERS substrates consist of metallic, Ag or Au, nano caps that are situated at a distal end from the base of a polymer sheet. Fabricated using a patented technology that can be scaled to large production volumes, our substrates enable molecular detection at ultra-low concentrations (nano-molar detection demonstrated). They provide uniform and reproduceable measurements with ultra-low background signal. A key advantage of SERS substrates is fluorescence quenching. Raman measurements of Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 6G using substrates exhibit minimal fluorescence.

Advantages:
· Fluorescence quenching. The direct contact between the molecules and the metallic nano caps results in fluorescence quenching which permits the use of a shorter excitation wavelength, and thereby a stronger signal
· Customizable to any size or geometry
· Can be flexible if needed
· Produced using a scalable manufacturing technique
· Ease of use, mounted on a microscope slide
· Uniform signal
· Low background signal
· Broadband range of excitation
