Making Sense of Diseases in the Field When millions of humans and animals are on the verge of being exposed to highly contagious and dangerous diseases – time is of the essence. Disease detecting techniques like SERS (Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy), used in a laboratory setting, allow for a higher degree of sensitivity in detection, but… Continue reading Making Sense of Disease in the Field

All That Glitters – Sensors From the Lab to Field
Translating sensors from the lab benchtop to a readily available point-of-need setting is desirable for many fields, including medicine, agriculture, and industry. However, this transition generally suffers from loss of sensitivity, high background signals, and other issues which can impair reproducibility. Here we adapt a label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor for SARS-CoV-2 antigens from… Continue reading All That Glitters – Sensors From the Lab to Field
