What is it about?
SERS was employed to analyze the degree of degranulation of mast cells induced by low-intensity laser.High-quality SERS spectra of cell culture supernatants were obtained with the enhancement of silver nanoparticles.Combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), the degree of cell degranulation can be distinguished with high sensitivity and specificity.
