There is provided a method of preparing a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) particle comprising the step of encapsulating a plurality of Raman molecules on the surface of a metallic core with a biocompatible protective shell at an elevated temperature selected to decrease the encapsulation time by more than one-fold relative to an encapsulation performed at 20&#xb0; C.

Method for preparing a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy particle

This invention relates to a method for synthesizing a SiO2-coated nanoparticle, the method comprising the step of reacting a hydroxyl-functionalized silane with a nanoparticle in a substantially aqueous phase under conditions to induce silanization of the nanoparticle. The method enables silanization of the nanoparticle in aqueous phase that is substantially free of organic solvents.
