Research and Markets: Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: Analytical, Biophysical and Life Science Applications

Dublin, Ireland | Posted on April 15th, 2011

Covering everything from new developments in the field to established techniques with a focus on biochemical applications, this monograph shows how to analyze surface characteristics right down to single molecules.

From the contents:

* Theory and practice of available SERS substrates
* Analytical applications
* SERS combined with other analytical techniques
* Biophysical applications
* Microscopic applications and related techniques

Hands-on knowledge for analytical, surface and medicinal chemists, spectroscopists, biophysicists and materials scientists.

Key Topics Covered:

1 Basic Electromagnetic Theory of SERS (Pablo G. Etchegoin and Eric C. Le Ru).

2 Nanoparticle SERS Substrates (Yuling Wang and Erkang Wang).

3 Quantitative SERS Methods (Steven E.J. Bell and Alan Stewart).

4 Single-Molecule- and Trace Detection by SERS (Nicholas P.W. Pieczonka, Golam Moula, Adam R. Skarbek, and Ricardo F. Aroca).

5 Detection of Persistent Organic Pollutants by Using SERS Sensors Based on Organically Functionalized Ag Nanoparticles (Luca Guerrini, Patricio Leyton, Marcelo Campos-Vallette, Concepcin Domingo, Jos V. Garcia-Ramos, and Santiago Sanchez-Cortes).
