Title:
EMBODIMENTS OF A COMPOSITION COMPRISING DIATOM FRUSTULES AND A METHOD FOR MAKING AND USING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/121134
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A composition comprising a diatom frustule and a metal coating, and a method for making the same, are disclosed herein. The metal coating may comprise a metal film or metal nanoparticles, which may be attached to the surface via a linker. The composition has a surface coverage ratio of from about 1% to about 100%. The composition may also comprise an antibody. Also disclosed is a method for using the composition comprising contacting the composition with a target molecule, exposing the composition to light, and measuring the resulting Raman scattering.
