Rapid Detection of Drugs and Explosives for Forensic Analysis

Abstract

We developed an approach based upon microfluidics and SERS that can detect drugs of abuse and explosives, as well as other molecules of interest for forensic analysis at ultra-low concentrations and with measurement times of a few minutes. The resulting approach will be applicable to field-portable and handheld surface-enhanced Raman instruments.
