Detecting Forever Chemicals in our waterways with SERS

Blog / By

The global water quality crisis extends across continents, with the United Kingdom facing significant contamination challenges from Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), commonly known as forever chemicals. These synthetic compounds persist in the environment for decades, accumulating in our bodies and waterways. As regulatory agencies establish stricter drinking water standards, the need for rapid, accurate […]

The Role of SERS in detecting Nitazene

Blog / By

The opioid crisis has entered a dangerous new phase. While fentanyl continues to dominate headlines, an even more potent class of synthetic opioids has emerged from the shadows, nitazenes. These 2-benzylbenzimidazole compounds, originally synthesized in the 1950s but abandoned due to extreme toxicity, have resurfaced on illicit drug markets with devastating consequences.[1] Traditional laboratory analysis
