Description
Unlock the Power of Molecular Detection with SERS
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is an advanced analytical technique that enables the ultra-sensitive detection of molecular “fingerprints” in complex substances. It is also a powerful tool for investigating chemical reactions at surfaces.
At the heart of SERS lies the use of nanostructured surfaces, which amplify the electromagnetic field of laser radiation—dramatically enhancing signal strength and detection accuracy.
The senSERS platform consists of a high-purity, optical-grade glass carrier embedded with silver (Ag) nanoparticles on both external surfaces. This morphology creates a dense, uniform distribution of SERS-active hotspots, significantly magnifying the local electromagnetic field.
Designed for scalable mass production, they ensure high reproducibility and low batch-to-batch variation, while offering a strong price-performance ratio for both research and industrial applications.
