Description
Ocean Optics SERS substrates and accessories enable highly sensitive molecular detection using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technology. Designed with a patented Signal-Enhancing Heat Sink, these high-performance substrates amplify weak Raman signals while maintaining stability, repeatability, and robustness across a wide range of laser powers.
Each substrate provides four large active SERS chips with clear serialization, ensuring reliable quantitative analysis and reproducible measurements. With minimal sample preparation requirements, these substrates support fast, field-deployable point-of-care (POC) sensing across biomedical, environmental, forensic, and security applications.
