The fabrication of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, which can offer the advantages of strong Raman signal enhancement with good reproducibility, is still a challenge for practical applications. In this work, a simple and reproducible SERS substrate combining the properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), is proposed for the determination and quantification of sulfapyridine in milk samples with a concentration range of 10-100 ng mL(-1). The Raman signals of sulfapyridine is enhanced at factor of 4394. The procedure presented is capable of detecting and quantifying small quantities of sulfapyridine without implying any preconcentration step, just using an affordable and portable Raman spectrometer. The precision, in terms of repeatability and inter and intermediate precision, was lower than 8% in all cases.
