Benefits of SERS over conventional Raman Spectroscopy
·SERS selectively enhances only specific molecules (factor 105 enhancement) Can analyse organic compounds in solvents Fluorescence quenching? ·Natural extracts complex mixtures -either fluoresce -not possible to interpret spectra Raman

SERS

Limits of detection ·For scytonemin ·Detection of 2nM > 3 background noise ·Detect lower concentrations of R6G

Conclusions
SERS can provide organic geochemical information ­ e.g. detect specific molecular structures in sediments at 10's ppm. This is something Raman Spectroscopy can't do This requires further sample processing ­ but this can all be automated Such a system could be a LOC device
