Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for the use of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering nanotags (SERS nanotags) to create homogeneous (no-wash), heterogeneous or sequence detection assay platforms. In certain embodiments the SERS nanotags are used in combination with magnetic particles. Multiplexed assay platforms are also disclosed. In certain embodiments, the assay is useful for clinical proteomics. Assay platforms suitable for use within a biological matrix, for example within whole blood or serum are also disclosed. The assay formats described herein may be used to detect any analyte of interest including but not limited to the detection of cells, viruses, bacteria, proteins, DNA, RNA, or small molecules in any type of biological (animal or plant kingdom) or environmental samples including but not limited to whole blood or serum, occult samples, urine, feces, air, drinking water, phage, any organism, multicellular clumps of cells, for example, cancer tissue homogenate.
