In recent years the integration of microfluidic technology with powerful spectroscopic techniques such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), has become important for analytical studies of hazardous chemicals. Here, we propose a SERS microfluidic device used for on-line detection and monitoring of different concentrations of two model organic molecules (caffeine and malachite green). The SERS active silver spot was synthesized on the bottom of the capillary when the laser beam (λ = 514.7 nm) was focused on a continuous flow of silver nitrate and sodium citrate1. Afterwards, different concentrations of selected analytes were injected and sequential SERS spectra were acquired. The adsorption of the molecules was investigated by monitoring the specific bands of caffeine (648 cm−1) and malachite green (1617 cm−1), respectively. By combining SERS and microfluidic technology a fast and reproducible on-line detection of organic molecules was achieved.
