Abstract

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as the basis of rapid and reliable biosensing techniques, has significant advantages of minimal sample preparation and ease of operation compared to other culture amplification methods. However, applications to biomedical problems have lagged because current substrates lack highly reproducible SERS responses to biological samples. Recently, we have developed nanostructured polymer substrates that can provide a highly uniform and reproducible nanoscale roughness. In this article, we studied advanced types of SERS substrates that will provide a highly uniform and reproducible "fingerprint" of E.Coli on a nanostructured polymer substrate coated with SERS active metals.
