- Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is being used to rapidly and sensitively detect antibiotic residues in wastewater, showcasing its potential for environmental monitoring.
- Researchers developed highly ordered silver nanoarrays, which provide significant enhancement for SERS detection, allowing for the identification of antibiotics even at picomolar levels.
- Multivariate analysis techniques like PCA-LDA confirmed the specific identification of various antibiotics, indicating that these Ag nanoarray sensors could serve as efficient, low-cost tools for monitoring pharmaceutical pollutants in the environment.
