A suspendable SERS nanotag. As used herein, a suspendable tag is one which remains suspended in a specific liquid, water for example, for a period of time. Thus, a suspendable tag does not sink to the bottom of a container of the liquid or float to the top of a container of the liquid within the selected time period. A suspendable SERS nanotag may include a metal core, for example, an Au core having a diameter of less than 90 nm. The suspendable SERS nanotag may also include a SERS active reporter molecule associated with the core and a silica containing encapsulant, encapsulating the core and reporter association.
