Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) detection is often limited by difficulties in preparing adequate tags – normally metallic nanoparticles (NPs) functionalised with Raman-active molecules. Here, the authors introduce LipoGold Tags, a platform where clusters of gold NPs self-assemble on lipid vesicles. These tags are used for SERS detection.
