SERS biosensors

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensors are advanced devices used to detect tiny amounts of biological molecules, like proteins or pathogens. They work by using special surfaces covered with nanoparticles that boost the signal of the molecules when light hits them. This enhanced signal allows scientists to identify and analyze substances at very low concentrations, making SERS biosensors powerful tools for medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Their sensitivity and specificity can lead to quicker and more accurate detection of diseases or contaminants, improving health outcomes and safety measures.
