Application

  • SERS substrate for food adulteration detection: 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid was employed in the layer-by-layer biopolymer assembly for the in situ fabrication of AuNP plasmonic paper, serving as a SERS substrate useful in detecting food adulteration (Viriyakitpattana et al., 2024).
  • Development of magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles: Research highlighted the use of 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid in the multiwavelength SERS of magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles, obtained through combined laser ablation and solvothermal methods, showing versatility in nanoparticle synthesis (Talaikis et al., 2023).

We have developed a new internal standard method for the determination of the concentration of captopril (CAP) through surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). This approach provided linearity for CAP over the concentration range 2.5-25

Analytical chemistry, 84(18), 8013-8019 (2012-08-14)
Sensors based upon surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are attractive because they have narrow, vibrationally specific spectral peaks that can be excited using red and near-infrared light which avoids photobleaching, penetrates tissue, and reduces autofluorescence. Several groups have fabricated pH nanosensors
