The new Solas from API Technologies is a SERS substrate that offers improved sensitivity and reproducibility for Raman analysis. Its specially designed architecture is manufactured using advanced nano-fabrication methods and the advanced manufacturing techniques create the sensitivity and reproducibility (within batch and batch-to-batch) required for cutting-edge analytical tests. Applications include detecting trace evidence in forensic laboratory testing, environmental contaminants in water, melamine in milk, explosive residues and road-side drug detection. It can be used in multiple configurations and with many different Raman systems and a series of specifically designed bench-top readers for use with the substrate is also offered. Adapters are available for the most common hand-held and portable Raman systems.
