Abstract

SERS-active silver nanoparticle trimers were assembled in this study for the first time, through the aptamer of a cancer biomarker, alpha fetoprotein (AFP). It was successfully used for the sub-attomolar detection of AFP, with a limit of detection as low as 0.097 aM, which is the lowest reported so far.
