Design of an anti-aggregated SERS sensing platform for metal ion detection based on bovine serum albumin-mediated metal nanoparticles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Aug 25;49(66):7334-6. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44517h.

Abstract

Based on bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified Au NPs, a simple and cost-effective approach was proposed to fabricate an anti-aggregated Au NP sensing platform for the detection of metal ions. It exhibits excellent stability even under highly ionic conditions due to its electrostatic stabilization, as well as the steric stabilization.
