Highly efficient SERS test strips.

We present a facile production approach to highly efficient SERS test strips by physical vapor deposition of silver on paper, which contains natural wrinkle and fibril structures. The SERS test strips open the door to highly sensitive (e.g., 10(-10) M) SERS detection in a convenient fashion.
