Bing Zhao and Yukihiro Ozaki from Jilin University and Kwansei Gakuin University, respectively, have together with colleagues developed a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based detection method for proteins using magnetic glass beads. Target proteins or molecules with a specially recognized feature can be captured and separated by the magnetic nanoparticles. Click on the title below to read more about this new method.
