Abstract :

A prompt, sensitive and accurate response of analytical techniques to resolve health issues such as low limit identification in special biological environment (that is, complex mixtures of proteins) remains being a key aspect in modern proteomic. Recently, this quest for improved and highly sensitive detection methodologies has led to the development of alternative approaches as optically encoded nanosystems which include local enhancements of Raman scattering signals of molecules in close proximity to metallic nanostructures. Their outstanding performance envisages them as robust and versatile support to developing analytical strategies for high-throughput biomarker screening in complex matrices. This presentation will show the specificity, sensitivity and selectivity of the method.
