Stability and cross-contamination test of SERS nano-identifier (SERS ID)-encoded TentaGel (TG) beads. a) Average number of SERS IDs on the TG beads after treatment with swelling solvents (dichloromethane, DCM), 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) containing phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.0) and 1% Tween 20 containing PBS (pH 7.0). The number was normalized to the total number of SERS IDs on non-treated beads. b) Signal intensities of 488 cm−1 band (4-BBT) and 539 cm−1 band (4-CBT) from SERS spectrum of SERS ID[4BBT]- or SERS ID[4CBT]-encoded TG beads after treatment with 3% BSA containing PBS (pH 7.0), and c) 1% Tween 20 containing PBS (pH 7.0) (The number of measured beads = 6).
