通过使用敏感字段，可以显著减少工作量、成本和时间 能够筛选样本并检测有毒污染物稀释浓度的探测器。这样的 传感器必须是便携式且经济高效的，最大限度地减少样品处理、浪费和维护需求 试剂，具有可忽略的假阳性和阴性，并自动提供明确的 向现场人员或中央监测机构报告结果。在本文中，适用性 将讨论表面增强拉曼光谱（SERS）作为此类监测器。这个 重点将是快速（30秒）检测毒素的能力，无论是自然产生的 氰基毒素或化学战剂，在ppb浓度水平的供水中。包括5个参考文献、表格、图表。

Workload, cost, and time can all be significantly reduced through the use of sensitive field detectors that can screen samples and detect dilute concentrations of toxic contaminants. Such a sensor must be portable and cost effective, minimize sample handling, waste and need for reagents, have negligible false positives and negatives, and automatically provide unambiguous results to either field personnel or a central monitoring facility. In this paper, the suitability of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) as such a monitor will be discussed. The emphasis will be on the ability to rapidly (30 s) detect toxins, whether naturally occurring cyanotoxins or chemical warfare agents, in water supplies at ppb concentration levels.
