Magnetic field enriched surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy for early malaria diagnosis by Yuen, Clement, Liu, Quan

“…We report magnetic field-enriched surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) of β —hematin crystals, which are the equivalent of hemozoin biocrystals in spectroscopic features, by using magnetic nanoparticles with iron oxide core and silver shell (Fe 3 O 4 @Ag ). The external magnetic field enriches β —hematin crystals and enhances the binding between β —hematin crystals and magnetic nanoparticles, which provides further improvement in SERRS signals. …”
