General description

4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) is a probe molecule with thiol and carboxylic groups that form a self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) which can be used for the development of surface enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors.

Application

Gold nanostructures functionalized with 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) may exhibit improve catalytic activity. Several studies report 4-MBA as a model analyte for surface enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) substrates.

The detection of the Cerenkov radiation (CR) is an emerging preclinical imaging technique which allows monitoring the in vivo distribution of radionuclides. Among its possible advantages, the most interesting is the simplicity and cost of the required instrumentation compared, e.g.
