摘要
We demonstrate that the use of a self-assembled monolayer, consisting of a thiol derivative of Dabcyl, can be used to normalize surface enhanced Raman signals (SERS) with respect to varying enhancement. Chaotic assemblies of gold nanoparticles exhibit large spatial variation in enhancement. Our work shows that in such a system the signals from the reporting molecules in the SAM co-vary with the signal from the analyte solution. With this knowledge, a normalization procedure was used to increase the precision of the analyte signal by 1 order of magnitude, to 8-13%, fully acceptable for quantitative work.
