Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) synthesized by an enzymatic induced growth process onto solid substrates form structures called as desert roses or nanoflowers. In order to customize the enzymatically grown nanoparticles to analytical applications in bio-molecular research, studies were carried out on the time evolution of the formation of the Ag-NP, their morphology, and their chemical composition. Therefore, Ag-NP films of different densities were investigated using SEM, TEM as well as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The surface coverage of substrates with Ag-NP and the maximum particle height were determined using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. It is shown, that the desert rose like Ag-NP consist of single crystalline silver plates containing only pure silver. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) measurements of the vitamin riboflavin incubated on the Ag-NP are shown as an exemplary application for quantitative analysis.
