Abstract: A nanoaggregate embedded bead is formed from an inner core formed of comprising metallic nanoparticles and Raman active reporter molecules, an outer shell, and single-domain antibodies to target the bead to a specific target. The nanoaggregate embedded bead may be used in methods to detect analytes or pathogens in biological or environmental samples using Raman spectroscopy.
