Understanding our future through Open Access research about our past...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the Centre for the Social History of Health & Healthcare (CSHHH), based within the School of Humanities, and considered Scotland's leading centre for the history of health and medicine.

Research at CSHHH explores the modern world since 1800 in locations as diverse as the UK, Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe. Areas of specialism include contraception and sexuality; family health and medical services; occupational health and medicine; disability; the history of psychiatry; conflict and warfare; and, drugs, pharmaceuticals and intoxicants.

Abstract

Surface enhancement can provide improved detection sensitivity in a range of optical spectroscopies. When applied to bioanalysis these enhanced techniques allow for the detection of disease biomarkers at lower levels, which has a clear patient benefit. However, to achieve widespread clinical use of surface enhanced techniques there remain several "grand challenges". In this review we consider the substrates employed to achieve enhancement before reviewing each enhanced optical technique in detail; surface plasmon resonance, localised surface plasmon resonance, surface enhanced fluorescence, surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy and surface enhanced (resonance) Raman spectroscopy. Finally we set out the "grand challenges" currently facing the field.
