Abstract
This work demonstrates the development of a new class of SERS substrates that allows for the simultaneous: (i) filtration of bacteria from any solution (blood, urine, water, or milk), (ii) immobilization of bacteria on the SERS platform, and (iii) enhancing the Raman signal of bacteria. The proposed platform is based on an electrospun polymer mat covered with a 90 nm layer of gold.
