Abstract
In apparatus for performing Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), rather than applying a sample to be analyzed to an SERS active substrate, the SERS active substrate is applied to the sample using an inkjet nozzle to apply a substance containing a colloidal metal, such as silver, to the sample. The prepared sample is then analyzed with a Raman spectrometer in a conventional fashion.
