We present controlled three-dimensional nanoassemblies with core/satellite architecture as colloidally stable probes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Aiming at obtaining a versatile system for bioapplications with both high and robust SERS performance, we used BSA as biomolecular linker for the controlled fabrication of self-assembled nanoclusters with correlated optical and structural properties by design [1]. The SERS performance of the assembled nanoclusters was benchmarked using an aromatic low-molecular-weight model analyte (4MBA). The characteristic signals of adsorbed 4MBA were detected with high robustness. The limit of detection of 10-6 M 4MBA was determined using non-enhanced volume-Raman signals of the medium as reference [2]. For bioapplication of such nanoassemblies, the aspects of biocompatibility, cellular uptake, and biological are decisive for a rational material design.
