Development of a simple approach for ultrasensitive detection of bisphenols by multiplexed surface enhanced Raman scattering

A very simple, cheap and fast SERS method using functionalized silver nanoparticles was developed to detect bisphenols. This method was applied for the semi-quantitative detection of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol B (BPB) and bisphenol F (BPF) separately. Afterwards, a feasibility study of performing a multiplex SERS detection of BPA, BPB and BPF was successfully carried out. Finally, this developed method was applied on real samples which were solutions comprising cash receipts collected from different stores.
