‘Functionalized Array for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (FASERS)’ represents an array of plasmonic surfaces for label-free SERS presenting different self-assembled monolayers. A range of molecular interactions takes place within complex biological media at each unit sensor where mildly selective SERS enhancement of the constituents gives multiplexed spectral datasets. The increased data dimensionality obtained enables facile identification of closely related samples.
