Trace chemical analysis by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is made quick and easy with sample vials coated with a patented SERS-active sol-gel. A solution containing the chemical of interest is simply injected into the vial, which is placed in a Raman spectrometer sample compartment, the spectrum is recorded, and science moves forward.
The measured SER spectrum consists of a wavelength distribution of bands corresponding to molecular vibrations specific to the chemical being analyzed. This allows identification of numerous chemicals, biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In most cases a simple calibration allows quantifying the chemicals by the intensity of the Raman spectral bands.
