LUMAT-SERS is a start-up company focusing on surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) technology. Our CityU-patented based SERS chips are produced through environmentally friendly, mass-producible electrochemical methods. Our chips offer superior performance and a lower cost, with 10 to 100 times better performance than commercially available SERS chips, for at least half the cost of other commercial chips.
SERS technology has a wide range of applications, including food safety testing, dangerous goods testing, and early disease screening. We hope that by providing high-performance, low-cost SERS chips as consumables, we can promote the application of SERS technology in government food and drug administration, laboratories and testing centres. We hope to bring our SERS technology to millions of households in the future.
