SERS Substrate & SERS Reader
Overview
The porous carbon SERS substrate provides not only high signal enhancement due to its strong
broadband charge-transfer resonance for large chemical enhancement (as opposed to
electromagnetic enhancement in traditional metal-based SERS substrates), but also
extraordinarily high reproducibility or substrate-to-substrate, spot-to-spot, sample-to-sample,
and time-to-time consistency in SERS spectrum (which is not possible with traditional metal-
based SERS) due to the absence of "electromagnetic hot spots" by making the entire surface of
the substrate "chemically hot", high durability due to no oxidization, and high compatibility to
biomolecules due to its fluorescence quenching capability.
