Abstract :
New SERS active substrates were successfully prepared for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus and R6G. The surface-enhancement effect by the substrates enables rapid identification of bacteria and chemical species. The enhancement capability can be controlled by tuning the surface roughness of the substrates through varying treatment durations.
