Amplifying the Invisible: Advanced Spectroelectrochemistry with EC-SERS

Researchers working at the intersection of spectroscopy and electrochemistry often face challenges in capturing real-time molecular changes during redox reactions. Raman spectroelectrochemistry offers a powerful solution, combining the structural insights of Raman spectroscopy with the precise control of electrochemical techniques to enable in situ monitoring of dynamic chemical processes.

In this webinar, Dr. David Ibáñez Martínez, Spectroelectrochemistry Manager at Metrohm DropSens, will demonstrate the analytical potential of this hybrid technique, including both qualitative and quantitative capabilities. Special emphasis will be placed on Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), which significantly amplifies Raman signals using metallic nanostructures to detect low-concentration analytes.

Attendees will gain practical knowledge on experimental setup, method design, and real-world applications, empowering them to explore new research possibilities using Raman spectroelectrochemistry.
