Abstract

Within the scope of this project, a portable measuring device has been developed which enables a cost-effective analysis of organic substances from ppm to the sub-ppm range, such as drug residues in groundwater. The measurement is carried out by means of an exchangeable sensor head. The sensor head used is a nanostructured optical glass fiber glued into a fiber cannula. At the tip of the fiber is a surface-enhanced Raman scattering cell (SERS cell).
