Aluminum Foil vs. Gold Film: Cost-Effective Substrate in Sandwich SERS Immunoassays of Biomarkers Reveals Potential for Selectivity Improvement by Rostislav Bukasov, Alisher Sultangaziyev, Zhanar Kunushpayeva, Alisher Rapikov, Dina Dossym

“…Not only is Al foil competitive with traditional SERS substrate gold for the sandwich SERS immunoassay in terms of LOD, which is in the range 18–30 pM or less than 1 pmol of human IgG, but it also has a large cost/availability advantage over gold film. Moreover, human IgG assays on Al foil and Si showed better selectivity (by about 30–70% on Al foil and at least eightfold on Si) and a nonspecific response to rat or rabbit IgG, in comparison to the selectivity in assays using gold film.…”
