    Abstract There is a critical need for sensitive rapid point-of-care detection of bacterial infection biomarkers in complex biological fluids with minimal sample preparation, which can improve early-stage diagnosis and prevent several bacterial infections and fatal diseases. A solution-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection platform has long been sought after for low cost, rapid, and on-site detection of analyte molecules, but current methods still exhibit poor sensitivity. In this study, we have tuned the morphology of the surfactant-free gold nanostars (GNSs) to achieve sharp protruding spikes for maximum SERS enhancement. We have controlled the GNS spike morphologies and optimized SERS performance in the solution phase using para-mercaptobenzoic acid as an SERS probe. To illustrate the potential for point-of-care applications, we have utilized a portable Raman instrument for measurements. For pathogenic agent sensing applications, we demonstrated rapid and sensitive detection of the toxin biomarker pyocyanin (PYO) used as the bacterial biomarker model system. Pyocyanin is a toxic compound produced and secreted by the common water-borne Gram-negative bacterium

    Abstract Practical solution-based assays using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with portable instrumentation are currently of particular interest for rapid, efficient, and low-cost detection of analytes. However, current assays still have limited applicability due to their poor sensitivity and reproducibility. Herein, we demonstrate highly stable polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-capped bimetallic silver-coated gold nanostars (BGNS-Ag-PVP) as a solution-based SERS nanoprobe that is capable of producing a strong, uniform, and reproducible SERS signal using a portable Raman instrument. The developed hybrid BGNS-Ag-PVP nanostructure shows tunable optical properties with improved SERS sensitivity and reproducibility as compared to gold nanostars. We have synthesized bimetallic nanoprobes BGNS-Ag-PVP having three different silvers, referred to as BGNS-Ag-PVP-1, BGNS-Ag-PVP-2, and BGNS-Ag-PVP-3. The SERS performance of BGNS-Ag-PVP was studied using methylene blue (Meb) as a probe molecule, and we achieved a detection limit of up to 10 nM indicating the high sensitivity of the solution-based SERS platform. The application of such bimetallic nanoparticles is demonstrated

    Abstract A rapid, in-field, and reliable method for the detection of illegal drugs of abuse in biological fluids without any sample pretreatment would potentially be helpful for law enforcement, drug control officials, and public healthcare. In this study, we presented a cost-effective and highly reproducible solution-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform utilizing a portable Raman instrument for fast sensitive SERS detection of illegal drugs, such as cocaine, and heroin in human urine without any sample preprocessing. The SERS platform was constructed for the first time by combining the superior SERS enhancement properties of bimetallic silver-coated gold nanostars (BGNS-Ag) and the advantages of suitable alkaline metal salts such as NaI for SERS signal amplification. The effects of the silver thickness of BGNS-Ag and alkaline salts on the SERS performance were investigated in detail; we observed that the maximum SERS enhancement was obtained for BGNS-Ag with the maximum silver thickness (54 ± 5 nm) in presence of NaI salt. Our SERS platform shows ultra-high sensitivity of cocaine and heroin with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 10 pg/mL for cocaine and 100 pg/mL for heroin, which was 100 times lower than that of the traditional silver nanoparticle-based illegal drug detection. As a demonstration, the platform was further applied to detect cocaine and heroin spiked in human urine without any sample preprocessing achieving a LOD of 100 pg/mL for cocaine and 1 ng/mL for heroin. Overall, our SERS detection platform shows potential for rapid, onsite, ultra-low-cost portable applications for trace detection of illegal drugs and biomarkers.

    Abstract Recently, transparent and flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have received great interest for direct point-of-care detection of analytes on irregular nonplanar surfaces. In this study, we proposed a simple cost-effective strategy to develop a flexible SERS patch utilizing multibranched sharp spiked gold nanostars (GNS) decorated on a commercially available adhesive Scotch Tape for achieving ultra-high SERS sensitivity. The experimental SERS measurements were correlated with theoretical finite element modeling (FEM), which indicates that the GNS having a 2.5 nm branch tip diameter (GNS-4) exhibits the strongest SERS enhancement. Using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a model analyte, the SERS performance of the flexible SERS patch exhibited a minimum detection limit of R6G as low as 1 pM. The enhancement factor of the SERS patch with GNS-4 was calculated as 6.2 × 10

    Abstract Here, we first introduce caged gold nanostars (C-GNS), a novel hybrid nanoplatform combining the exceptional plasmonic properties of nanostars with the loading capability of hollow-shell structures. We present two synthetic routes used to produce C-GNS particles and highlight the benefits of the galvanic replacement-free approach. FEM simulations explore the enhanced plasmonic properties of this novel nanoparticle morphology. Finally, in a proof-of-concept study, we successfully demonstrate

    Abstract A high-throughput surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-sensing platform is presented for FNT detection in human urine without any sample preparation. The sensing platform is based on plasmonics-active silver-coated sharply branched gold nanostars (SGNS). The effect of silver thickness was investigated experimentally and theoretically, and the results indicated that SERS enhancement was maximum at an optimum silver thickness of 45 nm on the sharply spiked SGNS. The proposed high-throughput SERS platform exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity and excellent enhancement uniformity for a model analyte, i.e., crystal violet. Moreover, the SERS-sensing platform demonstrated good sensitivity of FNT spiked in human urine samples with two differential linear response ranges of 2 to 0.2 µg/mL and 0.1 µg/mL to 100 pg/mL, respectively,  with a detection limit as low as 10.02 pg/mL. The spiked human urine samples show satisfactory recovery values from 92.5 to 102% with relative standard deviations (RSD) of less than 10%. In summary, the high-throughput performance of the proposed microplate-based SERS platform demonstrated great potential for rapid low-cost SERS-based sensing applications.
