The ability to develop new and sensitive methods of biomolecule detection is crucial the advancement pre-clinical disease diagnosis effective patient specific treatment. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) an optical spectroscopy amenable this goal, as it capable extremely multiplexed analysis. This perspective highlights where SERS has been successfully used detect target biomolecules, specifically DNA proteins, in vivo analysis utilised. future development discussed emphasis placed on steps required transport novel technique from research laboratory a clinical setting for medical diagnostics.
