  • Title: Plasmonics-based nanostructures for surface-enhanced Raman scattering bioanalysis.
    Author: Vo-Dinh T, Yan F, Stokes DL.
    Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2005; 300():255-83. PubMed ID: 15657488.
    Abstract:
    Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is a plasmonics-based spectroscopic technique that combines modern laser spectroscopy with unique optical properties of metallic nanostructures, resulting in strongly increased Raman signals when molecules are adsorbed on or near nanometer-size structures of special metals such as gold, silver, and transition metals. This chapter provides a synopsis of the development and application of SERS-active metallic nanostructures, especially for the analysis of biologically relevant compounds. Some highlights of this chapter include reports of SERS as an immunoassay readout method, SERS gene nanoprobes, near-field scanning optical microscopy SERS probes, SERS as a tool for single-molecule detection, and SERS nanoprobes for cellular studies.
