Raman Systems Introduces Affordable SERS Media
Low Cost Nano-structured Material Enables Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Ubiquitous Laboratory and Clinical Applications
Woburn, MA, November 29, 2011 - Raman Systems MII Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Agiltron Inc., announces the availability of its rSERS™ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrate priced for ubiquitous laboratory and clinical use. The breakthrough rSERS™ nano-engineered media can drastically enhance the Raman signal by more than a million times. The patent pending technology combines industry leading enhancement factors, measurement reproducibility and application versatility with the lowest cost of testing.
The rSERS™ platform is the most affordable substrate for routine use and is widely applicable to trace analysis of chemical and biological materials. The reusable accessory MediaSleeve™ is a convenient holder that accommodates up to four of the rSERS™ media "chips", and dimensioned to a standard 75 mm x 25 mm microscope slide platform for direct use with microscope equipped Raman spectrometers.
The rSERS media are ideal for use with the Raman Systems RSM Video Raman Microscope. The RSM Raman Microscope and the rSERS platform is being demonstrated in the exhibit hall at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting being held in Boston from November 29 through December 1.
