Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Study of Fresh Human Urine: A Preliminary Study.

In this work, we have mainly studied SERS spectra of fresh human urine by using Au nanoparticles excited by 785 and 1 030 nm lasers, respectively. And the UV/Vis adsorption experiment of the Au nanoparticles mixed with different ratio of urine has been performed, and the obvious shifting of corresponding absorption band is observed. The result showed that the Au nanoparticles which have been synthesized by classical Fren’s method can interact with urine, and the Au nanoparticles aggregations caused by the urine have strong SERS effect.
