Substrate that enhances the weak Raman scattered light from the molecules
The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate enhances the Raman scattering light from molecules, making high-sensitive Raman spectroscopic analysis possible. A chip of metallic nano/sub-micro structure is mounted on Hamamatsu’s original handling plate to protect its active area. The active area of the handling plate is of a well structure for easily attaching solution or the like. It is noted this is a disposable product and cannot be reused.
Features
- Uniform activated surface structure
- Well structure to facilitate attaching solution or the like Note)
SERS substrate J12853 cannot be used for SERS detection module C13560.
Please use the dedicated SERS substrate J13856 (small type, same characteristics as J12853) for the C13560.
SERS is a method for enhancing Raman scattering light (Raman scattering light is typically weak.). The scattering light generated on incidence to molécules is mainiy scattering light (Rayleigh scattering light) of a wavelength common to that of the incident light. In addition to the Rayleigh scattering light, a faint amount of the scattering light (Raman scattering light) of wave-lengths different from that of the incident light is emitted. The différence (Raman shift) in the frequencies between the incident light and the Raman scattering light cornes from the natural frequencies of the molécules. Spec-trometry of the Raman scattering light reveals information about a type and a structure of the molécule (type of Chemical bond, level of crystallization, dis-tortion of crystal lattice, etc.).
