The combination of gated materia
ls with SERS spectroscopy produced high
ly sensitive and se
lective sensing systems. Crysta
l vio
let-
loaded mesoporous si
lica nanopartic
les are used in combination with suitab
le caps and go
ld nanotriang
les for the detection of Mycop
lasma genomic DNA and cocaine. In both cases a high
ly se
lective and sensitive response is found. More information can be found in the Fu
