StellarNet-StellarSCOPE-Malachite
StellarNet high performance & affordable Surface Enhanced Raman (SERS) substrates intensify Raman emission through plasmonic resonance, boosting signal by many orders of magnitude & enabling detection levels as low as parts per trillion for certain samples.
Flexible & Quick sample application in the form of pipetting, dipping, or swab. There is no required sample drying and detection can be made in seconds!
Excellent Shelf-life SERS provides a dependable and guaranteed level of enhancement without special storage conditions.
Low sample cost due to its unique nanostructure deposition process.
SERS is a natural fit for many trace detection applications such as:
- Agriculture
- Pesticide detection
- Food contamination testing
- Law enforcement and homeland security
- Trace detection of narcotics such as cocaine and heroin
- Trace explosives detection
- Anti-counterfeiting
- Detection of weakened/inactive counterfeit drugs
- Counterfeit perfumes and liquors
- Detection of taggants at parts per billion levels
SERS substrates can be used with all of our low cost portable Raman systems and similarly equipped microscopes.
