Due to the use of the grating spectrometer, the entire frequency range of the scattered light of the sample is examined.

- SESR surface-enh
- the above-mentioned optical filter element for separating stray elastic light from inelastic stray light of the specific Raman band is also referred to as Rayleigh filter element for the sake of simplicity and preferably has a high optical density in the wavelength range of the used monochromatic light.
- the light source for monochromatic light is preferably a laser.
- Under a sample according to the invention is to be analyzed material. This is preferably applied to a substrate or sample holder, for example an LLA test strip.
- the term of the scattered light scattered by the sample therefore also includes such scattered light, the not directly from the material to be analyzed, but from the substrate / sample carrier was scattered.
- the analysis and evaluation of the light emitted by the sample can be limited in a particularly advantageous manner to the proportion of inelastic scattered light. Since the elastic cal fraction of the scattered light is separated from the inelastic portion, the units used for the evaluation of the device can be designed simpler than in the prior art. In particular, no use of a lattice Raman spectrometer with expensive and time-consuming multi-channel detection (CCD) is required.
- CCD multi-channel detection
- the use of the Rayleigh filter element makes it possible, in particular, to evaluate the inelastic scattered light originating from the sample by means of inexpensive single-channel detectors.
- the evaluation can be carried out limited to the known specific Raman bands of the SERS nanoparticles used and present in the sample, ie to inelastic scattered radiation.
- the evaluation of the light scattered by the sample is facilitated, since not as in the initially described prior art, the entire frequency spectrum of the sample stam menden scattered light is evaluated.
- the Rayleigh filter element for separating elastic and inelastic scattered light is designed to filter out stray elastic light and to transmit inelastic scattering light of the specific Raman band. It is preferably designed as a long-pass filter element such that the Rayleigh scattering, that is, elastically scattered light, is blocked. Preferably, it is in the beam path of the light emitted by the sample between the Probe and the photodetector arranged. Alternatively, it may be net before or in the probe.

- This filter and reflection element is designed and arranged in such a way that the reference band is reflected and directed onto the reference photodetector and the Raman band is passed through and directed onto the Raman photodetector.
- the filter and reflection element thus acts practically as a bandpass for the reference band, while the filter and reflection element in Transmis sion acts as a notch filter for the other frequencies.
- several filter and reflection elements of the type described above are arranged in the beam path of the scattered light of the sample behind the filter element for separating elastic scattered light from inelastic scattered light of the specific Raman band and in front of the photodetector.
- At least the first filter and reflection element in the beam path, several or all filter and reflection elements is or are designed and arranged for separating a reference band specific for a substrate of the sample from a Raman specific for one type of SERS-active particle - gang.
- antibodies matching a first type of target molecule are associated with a signature Fl-type SERS nanoparticle and antibodies suitable for a second type of target molecule a signature F2 SERS nanoparticle.
- the two filter and reflection elements required for simultaneous detection are such that the one on the Raman band of the signature Fl and the other on the Raman band of the signature F2 is true ask. Since the respective Raman bands Fl and F2 are known, it can be concluded from a detection of signals in the corresponding Raman bands on the presence of corresponding target molecules. Under a target molecule is in the context of the invention, in principle, a target atom to understand.
- the device has at least one reference photodetector, to which the reference band specific for the substrate of the sample is directed in order to provide a reference signal for evaluating the detected inelastic scattered light.
- the signal of this reference photodetector can be used, for example, by means of evaluation electronics for correction of other signals, in particular for correction of the detected Raman bands, in order to obtain e.g. Fluctuations in fiber performance, fluorescence of the substrate or deviations of the focusing of the fiber beam on the sample compensate.
- the device comprises a positioning device for in particular automatic one-, two- or multi-dimensional positioning of the sample relative to the optical probe, in particular orthogonal to its beam axis.
- the positioning device can receive and hold a sample carrier or a substrate in such a positionable manner. The sample can thus be moved relative to the probe so that it is particularly easy to perform a surface or area scan of sections of the sample or the sample carrier or even the entire surface.
- the Po sitionier coupled is coupled to a control and evaluation of the device, so that an automatic vote of sample position and detected Raman bands made and can be taken into account in the evaluation.
- the optical probe according to the invention may comprise a filter element which is angeord net and formed so that the sample with a divergent beam which strikes with an oblique angle of incidence (not equal to 0 ° and 90 °) to the sample is illuminated.
- the optical probe can have a collection array for scattered light emitted by the sample, which is aligned and arranged in a coordinated manner to the angle of incidence. Collection array and Filterele element are preferably positioned and aligned so that there is a maximum overlap between lighting and detection area.
- the former filter element may in particular be a bandpass filter.
- a further embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the device has a linear fiber bundle for coupling light from the light source into the optical probe.
- the optical probe may have a linear fiber bundle for coupling stray light from the sample into the probe.
- the optical probe may comprise an optical element, in particular a lens, which produces an image of the fiber bundle at infinity. This image illuminates the sample.
- the optical probe may have a dichroic ele ment passed over the sample passed to the light as well as scattered light from the sample.
- the optical probe may comprise an optical system or element, for example a cylindrical lens, for producing a substantially line-shaped illumination region on the sample.
- the abovementioned object is also achieved by a method for diagnostics, in particular for quantitative diagnostics, of a sample comprising at least one type of SERS-active particle, each with a specific Raman band, by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SESR).
- SESR surface-enhanced Raman scattering
- the complete sample surface to be examined is tailor-made and the un elastic scattered radiation emitted thereby can be evaluated in a particularly simple and effective manner.
- the sample-derived Raman scattered light can be analyzed by a series of selectively selected long-pass filters or bandpass filters tuned to the known Raman signatures of the SERS gold nanoparticles used in the sample and conveniently imaged on inexpensive single-channel detectors.
- the inven tion thus provides a possibility for rapid quantitative and highly sensitive pa tientennahe diagnostics using surface-enhanced Raman scattering and can be particularly advantageous in a so-called POCT (point of care testing) can be used.
- An advantage of section-wise planar or even complete illumination of the sample to be analyzed is that measurements, in particular spatially resolved measurements, can be carried out particularly quickly and sensitively.
- the inventive use of long-pass filters / Bandpassfiltem and Einkanaldetek factors favors a lower cost compared to the prior art measurement.
- the invention is particularly suitable for use by hospitals, medical practices, laboratory physicians, veterinarians and pharmaceutical companies. In laboratory medicine, using SERS technology, for example, a fast measuring procedure can be applied directly on-site to the patient or animal, which even allows for absolute quantification through the use of internal standards.
- the invention is also particularly suitable for use by public authorities of internal and external security (Bundeswehr, police, etc.), for example, for a safety-relevant hazardous substance analysis for the identification of chemical and biological weapons. Another aspect of the invention may be closing investigations in water and food analysis.
