In this paper, a multiplex signal amplification strategy was developed for the determination of miR-214 and miR-221 on a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-enabled lab-on-a-chip (LoC) system to realize the early-stage diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The gold nanobipyramids (GNBPs) with great monodispersity were functionalized with Raman reporter molecules and hairpin DNA 1, serving as the SERS nanotags. The presence of targets can initial the strand displacement amplification (SDA) reaction and the numerous short-stranded trigger DNA (tDNA) can be released under the action of polymerase and nicking enzyme . Then, the tDNA can trigger the catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) event between the SERS nanotags and the capture nanoprobes (Magnetic beads (MBs) modified with hairpin DNA 2), resulting in the aggregation of GNBPs on the MBs surface. The multiplex signal amplification contributed by the SDA-CHA strategy and the magnet-induced aggregation effect can ultimately lead to the significant improvement of the detection sensitivity and the limit of detection (LOD) was low to aM level with reproducibility and specificity meanwhile. Furthermore, a MPTP-induced PD mice model was established to verify the practicability and the expression level of miR-214 and miR-221 at different stages analyzed with the LoC system was confirmed by qRT-PCR.

Ultrasensitive detection of highly toxic Cr(VI) is of paramount importance as trace amount of Cr(VI) will result in inevitable deterioration to human health and the environment. In this work, a novel methimazole-functionalized SERS optical fiber probe was used for the first time for Cr(VI) determination with ultrahigh sensitivity. A special functionalization process of methimazole was designed after successful fabrication of silver coated fiber probe via a SnCl 2 -sensitized solvothermal method. Dual functional methimazole guaranteed ultrahigh sensitivity and good stability of the SERS fiber probe for Cr(VI) detection. On one hand, methimazole functions as a Raman reporter which exhibits SERS peak intensity decline in the presence of Cr(VI). On the other hand, methimazole acts as an oxidation inhibitor via coordinating with silver atoms through the lone pair of nitrogen and sulfur atoms. The optimized SERS fiber probe not only presents good stability and excellent reproducibility, but also exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity (10 −11 M) which exceeds SERS or other techniques for Cr(VI) determination reported so far.

Creatinine level in body fluid has been most used for early diagnosis of kidney function and renal diseases; therefore, it is desirable to develop a rapid and quantitative method for creatinine detection. Herein, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on evaporation-induced optimal hotspots of Au nanocubes has been employed to quantitatively detect creatinine in human serum. Time-dependent SERS measurements during the evaporating process clearly prove that the optimal hotspots are formed on the eve of droplet drying of a Au sol and analyte mixture. The reproducibility tested by independent droplet experiments shows a relative standard deviation of SERS intensity of about 4.16%. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of creatinine shows a clear linear fitting between the logarithmic SERS intensity and the creatinine concentrations with a correlation coefficient of 0.987. The creatinine level in the serum from volunteers estimated by this method shows an average difference of less than 5% compared to that by the clinical Jaffe reaction method. The evaporation-induced optimal hotspot method with good reproducibility offers a simple and feasible way for practical SERS detection.

Here, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on functionalized Au@Ag core–shell nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) and cascade DNAzyme amplifier (CSA) for sensitive and accurate determination of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The as-prepared SERS nanoprobes were composed of a thiol-modification hairpin probe (HP2)–functionalized Au@Ag NRs and hairpin DNAzyme (HP1-Dz). Compared with original gold nanorods, the silver shell caused an enhancement of plasmonic properties, resulting in a significant enhancement of Raman signals. In the presence of target miRNAs, the hairpin construction of HP1-Dz changed due to DNA/RNA hybridization; subsequently, the DNAzyme-catalyzed cleaving process changed, and the Raman signals of the SERS nanoprobes gradually “turned off” with time elapse because of the dissociation of the Raman reporter from the surface of Au@Ag NRs. Hence, based on this principle, the proposed SERS sensor exhibited good linearity in the range 0.5 fM to 10 nM for miRNA-21 detection with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.5 fM. The proposed SERS platform has potential application in quantitative and precise detection of miRNA-21 in human serum. Graphical abstract

Considering the variable valence characteristics of rare earth elements, they can be in a variety of valence forms coexistence. Doping of rare earth element with different valence states may produce different energy levels to tune the semiconductor energy band structure. We utilize rare earth element Ce doping TiO 2 for the development of high-performance semiconductor surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates based on an energy-level tuning strategy. Ce doping not only forms multiple energy levels including Ce 3+ and Ce 4+ metal doping energy levels in the bandgap of TiO 2 , but also enriches the surface state level of TiO 2 itself, which together promote the separation of photogenerated carriers and improve charge transfer efficiency between substrates and absorbed molecules. This endows TiO 2 semiconductor substrate with a higher SERS enhancement factor, which can reach 2.2 × 10 6 . The detectable concentration of methylene blue can be as low as 10 −10 mol/L. Moreover, the semiconductor substrate exhibits excellent uniformity and stability. This study not only provides a new strategy to develop excellent semiconductor SERS substrate with multiple energy levels, but also lays the foundation for promising practical application of semiconductor substrate.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enables food contaminants monitoring become facile and efficient. Herein, a facile strategy of integrating three-dimensional Ni form with Co/Ni bimetal-organic frameworks combining Ag nanoparticles via electrochemical synthesis method was proposed to develop a high-performance SERS substrate (CoNi-ZIFs@Ag@NF) for efficient detection of tetracycline. The flexible Ni foam (NF) acted as scaffold which can contribute to dramatically enhancing intrinsic electrical conductivity and endowing prepared substrate with high stability and uniform distribution of Ag nanoparticles. Furthermore, the pre-concentration effect of CoNi-ZIFs@Ag@NF for target molecules enhanced SERS performance dramatically. Besides, tetracycline was sensitively detected using CoNi-ZIFs@Ag@NF with low limit of detection (1.0 × 10 -11 M) and wide linear detection range (10 -10 – 10 -5 M) in aqueous solution. Also, the satisfactory recovery (94.45 – 114.25 %) was realized with less than 6.78 % of RSD in real samples. This method would provide a potential and high-performance substrate for SERS monitoring of tetracycline in food and environment.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has drawn attention to broad applications. Here, we investigate the SERS property of the π-conjugated poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) for molecule detection. The crystal structure of π-conjugated P3HT thin films is of the great significance to its SERS property. Our results show that the optimized crystal structure can significantly improve its SERS property. The SERS substrate has an excellent signal reproducibility (RSD < 10%). In addition, the SERS substrate still remains a good Raman enhancement after one year and shows excellent long-term stability compared with those of other types of SERS substrate. The result of our theory calculation shows that significant π-stacking of the probe molecules with the thiophene π-cores molecules plays an important role in the large SERS enhancement by the charge transfer mechanism. The increase in the crystallinity of the P3HT film can improve the charge transfer of the substrate molecules and the methylene blue (MB) molecules via more effective chemisorption of the probe molecules with the substrate molecules. The study contributed to the rational design of the organic semiconductor polymer SERS substrate with high sensitivity, selectivity, and long-term stability. Graphical abstract

Constructing of plasmonic substrate with the capability of detecting nutritional food quality will soon be emerged as the frontier research directions with broad prospects in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology ascribed to an improvement of living standards. Herein, a novel TiO 2 framework with a shrubby morphology was successfully constructed on carbon cloth (CC) matrix to trigger significantly enhanced electromagnetic “hotspots” after dense Ag network with numerous sharp corners and edges was formed by a photo-induced reduction. Particularly, the structure-dependent optical performance was investigated for these as-prepared CC/TiO 2 /Ag hybrid substrates, screening out an optimal one with an enhancement factor of 6.38 × 10 7 . Regarding a prominent photocatalytic efficiency ascribed to the high electron-hole separation efficiency assisted by the CC matrix and Ag decoration, a recyclable SERS-based monitoring of quercetin (QR) was achieved in teas, demonstrating recovery values distributed from 88.9 % to 106.4 %. The strategy proposed here opened a new way to create high-density “hotspots” for multifunctional SERS substrates, which might play a crucial role in food quality monitoring applications.

Image-guided and robotic bronchoscopy is currently under intense research and development for a broad range of clinical applications, especially for minimally invasive biopsy and surgery of peripheral pulmonary nodules or lesions that are frequently discovered by CT or MRI scans. Optical imaging and spectroscopic modalities at the near-infrared (NIR) window hold great promise for bronchoscopic navigation and guidance because of their high detection sensitivity and molecular/cellular specificity. However, light scattering and background interference are two major factors limiting the depth of tissue penetration of photons, and diseased lesions such as small tumors buried under the tissue surface often cannot be detected. Here we report the use of a miniaturized Raman device that is inserted into one of the bronchoscope channels for sensitive detection of “phantom” tumors using fresh pig lung tissues and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticle tags. The ex vivo results demonstrate not only the feasibility of using Raman spectroscopy for endoscopic guidance, but also show that ultrabright SERS nanoparticles allow detection through a bronchial wall of 0.85 mm in thickness and a 5 mm-thick layer of lung tissue (approaching the fourth-generation airway). This work highlights the prospects and potential of Raman-guided bronchoscopy for minimally invasive imaging and detection of lung lesions.Keywords:bronchoscopy;Raman spectroscopy;endoscopic Raman probe;fluorescence;detection depth

Online monitoring of antibiotics in the environment attracts more and more attention. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising technique for the detection of trace amounts of antibiotics in the environment, which is fast, non-invasive and sensitive. To investigate the enrichment of trace amounts of antibiotics in water, polyethylene microplastics (PE MPs) were prepared as sorbents to simply concentrate enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride monohydrate and triclosan in water, followed by the SERS measurement of antibiotics extract washed from MPs on an [email protected] SERS substrate. Limit of detection of Rhodamine 6G is 2.1 × 10 -12 M achieved from the [email protected] SERS, indicating a high enhancement. The detection results show that SERS peaks of the antibiotics could be observed from the spectra of the extracts eluted from MPs, indicating MPs could adsorb and desorb antibiotics from water. Besides, for enrofloxacin and triclosan, the intensity of SERS measured from the MPs extracts are higher than that of directly from the spiked water, demonstrating the proposed method could lower the detectable concentration of hydrophobic antibiotics in water. Moreover, the proposed MPs sorbents combined with SERS method was applied to detect the antibiotics in real river water, with minimal detection of 10 -10 M, 10 -8 M, and 10 -8 M achieved for enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride monohydrate and triclosan, respectively. The proposed method provides a promising simple, rapid and low reagent consuming means for monitoring antibiotics in water.

Early diagnosis of chronic heart failure (CHF) relies on the ultra-sensitive detection assay of its main biomarker, Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). To meet such demand, we designed a near-infrared immunoassay biosensor, utilizing a fiber-embedded microfluidic chip for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. A SERS probe, consisting of metal–organic framework and Au-HEPES coupling nanoparticles (AuHPs), was used to enhance the Raman signal of the toluidine blue (TB) dye. The probe anchored with TB is used as a SERS tag, which is linked to BNP through sandwich method. To enhance the Raman signal further, we embedded a SERS substrate at the bottom of the microfluidic channel, which serves an enhancer when the SERS tagged BNP passes through the microfluidic chip. The amplified Raman signal was collected by an optical fiber probe of a simple and portable Raman detection system with an all-fiber connected configuration. Such design resulted in the lowest detection limit of pg/mL, indicating that the proposed platform can be used for rapid and highly sensitive detection of BNP. In addition, our platform also has the advantages of low sample consumption and high throughput rate, providing an effective scheme for the early diagnosis of CHF.

The rapid identification and quantitative detection of organophosphorus pesticides on a portable device is of vital importance for food safety evaluation and human health protection. However, conventional strategies for realizing the reliable, portable and sensitive detection of target analytes are still challenging. Here, a novel dual-MOF-induced ZnO@Co3O4 heterostructure modified with AgNPs was designed and fabricated as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for the sensitive identification and quantitative analysis of organophosphorus pesticides. The ZnO@Co3O4 heterojunction induced charge transfer enhancement in ZnO@Co3O4@Ag and achieved a 6.6-fold signal amplification compared to that of ZnO@Ag. The synergetic effect of the ZnO@Co3O4 heterostructure and the plasmonic AgNPs together with the molecular preconcentration of the porous structure enabled it to ultrasensitively detect triazophos (10−9 M), fonofos (10−8 M) and thiram (10−7 M) even on a portable Raman instrument. The SERS sensor exhibited superior signal reproducibility with an RSD value less than 8% and long-term stability with a signal loss of only 8.9% after 30 days. Moreover, this SERS platform provided the rapid quantitative analysis of triazophos, fonofos and thiram residues on real samples of tea and dendrobium leaves with LOD values of 10−7 M, 10−6 M and 10−6 M, respectively. In addition, the multiplex detection of pesticides was realized, indicating that our strategy has great potential for quantitative pesticide residue analysis in real samples.
