Discover how Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is revolutionising plant health monitoring.

Have you ever wondered how this cutting-edge technique helps detect plant pathogens before symptoms appear?

Our latest educational material explains how nanostructured SERS sensors amplify molecular signals to identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with pest and disease outbreaks. This approach enables early, precise, and sustainable plant protection, aligning with PurPest’s mission to develop innovative diagnostic tools for real-time field applications.

Learn how SERS is transforming precision agriculture and supporting next-generation monitoring of plant health and pest dynamics.
