Abstract
Molecular diagnostics (MD) is widely employed in multiple scientific disciplines, such as oncology, pathogen detection, forensic investigations, and the pharmaceutical industry. Techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revolutionized the rapid and accurate identification of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA). More recently, CRISPR and its CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) have been a ground-breaking discovery that is the latest revolution in molecular biology, including MD. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a very attractive alternative to fluorescence as the currently most widely used optical readout in MD. In this Perspective, milestones in the development of MD, SERS-PCR, and next-generation approaches to MD, such as Specific High-Sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter UnLOCKing (SHERLOCK) and DNA Endonuclease-Targeted CRISPR Trans Reporter (DETECTR), are briefly summarized. Our perspective on the future convergence of SERS with MD is focused on SERS-based CRISPR/Cas (SERS-CRISPR) since we anticipate many promising applications in this rapidly emerging field. We predict that major future developments will exploit the advantages of real-time monitoring with the superior brightness, photostability, and spectral multiplexing potential of SERS nanotags in an automated workflow for rapid assays under isothermal, amplification-free conditions.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology usually uses metallic nanoparticles to enhance Raman scattering signals, thereby significantly adding to molecule-level recognition and detection. However, realization of nanometer-scaled SERS imaging in liquid environments is extremely difficult due to the requirements of both precise scanning of single metallic nanoparticle and high enhancement field and thus has never been achieved before. To overcome this obstacle, we demonstrate an immersive nanometer-scaled SERS mapping technology, based on dynamic scanning of a single metallic nanoparticle with a plasmonic-thermoelectric nanotweezers system. The technology offers greater stability in the plasmonic trapping of gold nanoparticles at relative low power, as well as generating higher electric fields in the gap region. Through its dynamics, two-dimensional nanometer-scaled SERS imaging is achieved successfully. In regard to in liquid environments, this technology provides a mapping method for label-free imaging of ultrathin materials, structures, and biological samples.

Abstract
We demonstrate the remarkable ability of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to track the allosteric changes in restriction endonuclease KpnI (R.KpnI) caused by metal ions. R.KpnI binds and promiscuously cleaves DNA upon activation by Mg2+ ions. However, the divalent ion Ca2+ induces high fidelity cleavage, which can be overcome by higher concentrations of Mg2+ ions. In the absence of any 3D crystal structure, for the first time, we have elucidated the structural underpinnings of such a differential effect of divalent ions on the endonuclease activity. A combined SERS and molecular dynamics (MD) approach showed that Ca2+ ion activates an enzymatic switch in the active site, which is responsible for the high fidelity activity of the enzyme. Thus, SERS in combination with MD simulations provides a powerful tool for probing the link between the structure and activity of enzyme molecules that play vital roles in DNA transactions.

Abstract
Studies have shown that microRNAs, which are small noncoding RNAs, hold tremendous promise as next-generation circulating biomarkers for early cancer detection via liquid biopsies. A novel, solid-state nanoplasmonic sensor capable of assaying circulating microRNAs through a combined surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) approach has been developed. Here, the unique localized surface plasmon resonance properties of chemically-synthesized gold triangular nanoprisms (Au TNPs) are utilized to create large SERS and PEF enhancements. With careful modification to the surface of Au TNPs, this sensing approach is capable of quantifying circulating microRNAs at femtogram/microliter concentrations. Uniquely, the multimodal analytical methods mitigate both false positive and false negative responses and demonstrate the high stability of our sensors within bodily fluids. As a proof of concept, microRNA-10b and microRNA-96 were directly assayed from the plasma of six bladder cancer patients. Results show potential for a highly specific liquid biopsy method that could be used in point-of-care clinical diagnostics to increase early cancer detection or any other diseases including SARS-CoV-2 in which RNAs can be used as biomarkers.

Abstract
Excellent multiplexing capability, molecular specificity, high sensitivity and the potential of resolving complex molecular level biological compositions augmented the diagnostic modality of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in biology and medicine. While maintaining all the merits of classical Raman spectroscopy, SERS provides a more sensitive and selective detection and quantification platform. Non-invasive, chemically specific and spatially resolved analysis facilitates the exploration of SERS-based nano probes in diagnostic and theranostic applications with improved clinical outcomes compared to the currently available so called state-of-art technologies. Adequate knowledge on the mechanism and properties of SERS based nano probes are inevitable in utilizing the full potential of this modality for biomedical applications. The safety and efficiency of metal nanoparticles and Raman reporters have to be critically evaluated for the successful translation of SERS in to clinics. In this context, the present review attempts to give a comprehensive overview about the selected medical, biomedical and allied applications of SERS while highlighting recent and relevant outcomes ranging from simple detection platforms to complicated clinical applications.

Abstract
Since its discovery in 1974, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has gained momentum as an important tool in analytical chemistry. SERS is used widely for analysis of biological samples, ranging from in vitro cell culture models, to ex vivo tissue and blood samples, and direct in vivo application. New insights have been gained into biochemistry, with an emphasis on biomolecule detection, from small molecules such as glucose and amino acids to larger biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. These measurements have increased our understanding of biological systems, and significantly, they have improved diagnostic capabilities. SERS probes display unique advantages in their detection sensitivity and multiplexing capability. We highlight key considerations that are required when performing bioanalytical SERS measurements, including sample preparation, probe selection, instrumental configuration, and data analysis. Some of the key bioanalytical measurements enabled by SERS probes with application to in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo biological environments are discussed.

Abstract
Detection of biomarkers is of vital importance in disease detection, management, and monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. Extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of novel diagnostic methods that detect and quantify biomarkers with higher sensitivity and reliability, contributing to better disease diagnosis and prognosis. When it comes to such devastating diseases as cancer, these novel powerful methods allow for disease staging as well as detection of cancer at very early stages. Over the past decade, there have been some advances in the development of platforms for biomarker detection of diseases. The main focus has recently shifted to the development of simple and reliable diagnostic tests that are inexpensive, accurate, and can follow a patient’s disease progression and therapy response. The individualized approach in biomarker detection has been also emphasized with detection of multiple biomarkers in body fluids such as blood and urine. This review article covers the developments in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and related technologies with the primary focus on immunoassays. Limitations and advantages of the SERS-based immunoassay platform are discussed. The article thoroughly describes all components of the SERS immunoassay and highlights the superior capabilities of SERS readout strategy such as high sensitivity and simultaneous detection of a multitude of biomarkers. Finally, it introduces recently developed strategies for in vivo biomarker detection using SERS.

Abstract
Cancer is a heterogeneous disease which manifests as different molecular subtypes due to the complex nature of tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. The concept of precision medicine aims to exploit this cancer heterogeneity by incorporating diagnostic technology to characterize each cancer patient's molecular subtype for tailored treatments. To characterize cancer molecular subtypes accurately, a suite of multiplexed bioassays have currently been developed to detect multiple oncogenic biomarkers. Despite the reliability of current multiplexed detection techniques, novel strategies are still needed to resolve limitations such as long assay time, complex protocols, and difficulty in interpreting broad overlapping spectral peaks of conventional fluorescence readouts. Herein a rapid (80 min) multiplexed platform strategy for subtyping prostate cancer tumor and urine samples based on their RNA biomarker profiles is presented. This is achieved by combining rapid multiplexed isothermal reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) of target RNA biomarkers with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags for "one-pot" readout. This is the first translational application of a RT-RPA/SERS-based platform for multiplexed cancer biomarker detection to address a clinical need. With excellent sensitivity of 200 zmol (100 copies) and specificity, we believed that this platform methodology could be a useful tool for rapid multiplexed subtyping of cancers.

Abstract
This work presents a novel method for fabricating repeatable, uniform, large-area, highly sensitive, surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) substrates combined with silicon nanopillar arrays and silver nanoparticles. The proposed method consists of two steps: (1) induce periodic ripples in deionized water using a linearly polarized femtosecond laser; and (2) generate dense 80-nm-diameter nanopillar arrays with silver nanoparticles in silver nitrate solution with a 90° rotated polarization, femtosecond double-pulse train. As the pulse delay increases from 0 to 1000 fs, the mean size of the silver nanoparticles reduces, and the average number of nanoparticles increases, which, in turn, increases the enhancement factor of SERRS signals up to 1.1×10(9). Furthermore, melamine (down to 125 ppb) was detected by the fabricated SERRS substrates.

Abstract
We demonstrate the utility of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to monitor conformational transitions in protein upon ligand binding. The changes in protein's secondary and tertiary structures were monitored using amide and aliphatic/aromatic side chain vibrations. Changes in these bands are suggestive of the stabilization of the secondary and tertiary structure of transcription activator protein C in the presence of Mg(2+) ion, whereas the spectral fingerprint remained unaltered in the case of a mutant protein, defective in Mg(2+) binding. The importance of the acidic residues in Mg(2+) binding, which triggers an overall allosteric transition in the protein, is visualized in the molecular model. The present study thus opens up avenues toward the application of SERS as a potential tool for gaining structural insights into the changes occurring during conformational transitions in proteins.

Abstract
We report the development of a programmable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based micro-network gradient platform to simultaneously detect two different types of DNA oligomer mixtures. The utility of this platform was demonstrated by quantitative analysis of two breast cancer-related (BRCA1) DNA oligomer mixtures. To generate on-demand concentration gradients, the microfluidic circuit was designed using an electric-hydraulic analogy. Then a multi-gradient microfluidic channel was fabricated based on the theoretical design of the concentration control module. These micro-network structures automatically produce a series of different concentration gradients by continuously mixing Cy3-labeled DNA oligomers (BRAC1-Mutation) with TAMRA-labeled DNA oligomer (BRAC1-Wild). The SERS signals for different ratios of duplex DNA oligomer mixtures, adsorbed on the surface of silver nanoparticles, were measured under flowing conditions. Total analysis time from serial mixing to SERS detection takes less than 10 min because all experimental conditions are automatically controlled inside the exquisitely designed microfluidic channel. This novel SERS-based DNA sensing technology in a micro-network gradient channel is expected to be a powerful analytical tool to simultaneously detect multiple DNA oligomer mixtures.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques offer a number of advantages in molecular detection and analysis, particularly in terms of the multiplex detection of biomolecules. So far, many new SERS-based substrates and analytical techniques have been reported. For easy understanding, various SERS techniques are classified into the following four categories: adsorption-mediated direct detection; antibody- or ligand-mediated direct detection; binding catalyzed indirect detection; and tag-based indirect detection. Among these, recent successes of SERS tagging/encoding (nano/micro) materials and detection methods are highlighted, including our recent works. Some novel SERS-based strategies for the detection of several biological molecules are also introduced.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal malignancies. It has a 5-year survival rate of only 6%, owing in part to the lack of a reliable tumor marker for early diagnosis. Recent research has shown that the mucin protein MUC4 is aberrantly expressed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines and tissues but is undetectable in normal pancreas and chronic pancreatitis. Thus, the level of MUC4 in patient sera has the potential to function as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for PC. However, the measurement of MUC4 in sera using conventional test platforms (e.g., enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA)) has been unsuccessful. This has prevented the assessment of the utility of this protein as a possible PC marker in sera. In addressing this obstacle, the work herein examines the potential to create a simple diagnostic test for MUC4 through the development of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay, which was then used to demonstrate the first ever detection of MUC4 in cancer patient serum samples. Importantly, these measurements showed that sera from patients with PC produced a significantly higher SERS response for MUC4 compared to sera from healthy individuals and from patients with benign diseases. These results indicate that a SERS-based immunoassay can monitor MUC4 levels in patient sera, representing a much needed first step toward assessing the potential of this protein to serve as a serum marker for the early stage diagnosis of PC. This paper details these and other findings (i.e., the detection of the mucin protein CA19-9), which demonstrate that our SERS assay outperforms conventional assays (i.e., RIA and ELISA) with respect to limits of detection, readout time, and required sample volume.

Abstract
Surface plasmons supported by metal nanoparticles are perturbed by coupling to a surface that is polarizable. Coupling results in enhancement of near fields and may increase the scattering efficiency of radiative modes. In this study, we investigate the Rayleigh and Raman scattering properties of gold nanoparticles functionalized with cyanine deposited on silicon and quartz wafers and on gold thin films. Dark-field scattering images display red shifting of the gold nanoparticle plasmon resonance and doughnut-shaped scattering patterns when particles are deposited on silicon or on a gold film. The imaged radiation patterns and individual particle spectra reveal that the polarizable substrates control both the orientation and brightness of the radiative modes. Comparison with simulation indicates that, in a particle-surface system with a fixed junction width, plasmon band shifts are controlled quantitatively by the permittivity of the wafer or the film. Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) spectra and images are collected from cyanine on particles on gold films. SERRS images of the particles on gold films are doughnut-shaped as are their Rayleigh images, indicating that the SERRS is controlled by the polarization of plasmons in the antenna nanostructures. Near-field enhancement and radiative efficiency of the antenna are sufficient to enable Raman scattering cyanines to function as gap field probes. Through collective interpretation of individual particle Rayleigh spectra and spectral simulations, the geometric basis for small observed variations in the wavelength and intensity of plasmon resonant scattering from individual antenna on the three surfaces is explained.

Abstract
A new method was developed to fabricate unique gold quasi-3D plasmonic nanostructures on poly(dimethylsiloxane) PDMS and 2D nanohole arrays on silicon as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates using electron beam lithography (EBL) with negative tone resist Ma-N 2403 and soft lithography. The size and shape of nanopillars fabricated by EBL were well controlled via different beam conditions. An enhancement factor (EF) as high as 6.4 x 10(5) was obtained for 4-mercaptopyridine molecules adsorbed on the gold quasi-3D nanostructure array on PDMS with 400 nm diameter, 100 nm spacing and 300 nm depth, while no enhancement was observed for the gold 2D nanohole array on silicon with the same diameter and spacing. The experimental results were confirmed by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations. Furthermore, the calculated total electric fields showed that the strong SERS exhibited by the gold quasi-3D nanostructure arrays on PDMS is due to the strong localized electric fields at the gold-air interface of the bottom gold nanodisc. The strong and reproducible SERS spectroscopy for molecules adsorbed on precisely controlled gold quasi-3D nanostructure arrays on PDMS makes it possible for the integration of SERS-active nanopatterns into microfluidic devices as chemical and biological sensors with molecular specificity.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with enormous enhancements has shown great potential in ultrasensitive detection technologies, but the fabrication of large-scale, controllable and reproducible substrates with high SERS activity is a major challenge. Here, we report the preparation of Au nanoparticle arrays for SERS-active substrates with tunable particle sizes and interparticle gaps, and the enhancement factor of the SERS signal obtained from 4-mercaptopyridine probe molecules was as high as 10(7). The experimental data points show the increase of enhancement factor as a function of the ratio of diameter to interparticle gap, which can be explained by the averaged electromagnetic field enhancement model. Furthermore, we demonstrated that this type of substrate merits its high uniformity, high reproducibility and excellent long-term stability. As the fabrication protocol of such a SERS substrate is simple and inexpensive, this substrate may anticipate a wide range of applications in SERS-based sensors.

Abstract
We report on a new analytical approach to intracellular chemical sensing that utilizes a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-enabled nanopipette. The probe is comprised of a glass capillary with a 100-500 nm tip coated with gold nanoparticles. The fixed geometry of the gold nanoparticles allows us to overcome the limitations of the traditional approach for intracellular SERS using metal colloids. We demonstrate that the SERS-enabled nanopipettes can be used for in situ analysis of living cell function in real time. In addition, SERS functionality of these probes allows tracking of their localization in a cell. The developed probes can also be applied for highly sensitive chemical analysis of nanoliter volumes of chemicals in a variety of environmental and analytical applications.

Abstract
In a glass house: Silica-encapsulated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on tunable gold/silver nanoshells were used as labels for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). This concept combines the spectroscopic advantages arising from maximum surface coverage and uniform molecular orientation of the Raman reporter molecules within the complete monolayer together with the high chemical and mechanical stability of the glass shell.

Abstract
An integrated real-time sensing system that uses a portable Raman spectrometer and a micropillar array chip has been developed for field analysis. The problem of poor detection sensitivity, caused by miniaturization in the portable Raman spectrometer, was overcome by using the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique. The problem of poor reproducibility in the SERS detection, caused by different particle sizes and inhomogeneous degrees of aggregation, was also overcome by using continuous flow and homogeneous mixing between the analytes and nanocolloidal silver in a micropillar array microfluidic chip. Two hazardous materials, dipicolinic acid and malachite green, were quantitatively analysed using our integrated portable Raman sensor system. The observed limit of detection was estimated to be 200 ppb and 500 ppb, respectively. Our proposed analytical method, using a micropillar array PDMS chip and a portable SERS system, offers a rapid and reproducible trace detection capability for hazardous materials in the field.

Abstract
The enhancement of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at the junction of linearly joined silver nanorods (31 nm in diameter) deposited in the pores of anodic aluminum oxide templates was studied systematically by excitation with a 632.8 nm laser line. The single and joined silver nanorod arrays showed a similar extinction spectrum when their length was the same. Maximum enhancement was observed from the junction system of two nanorods of the same size with a total length of 62 nm. This length also corresponded to the optimum length of single nanorods for SERS by excitation with a 632.8 nm laser line. The enhancement at the junction was approximately 40 times higher than that of the 31 nm single nanorod, while it was 4 times higher than that of the 62 nm single nanorod. The enhancement factor at the junction after oxide removal was approximately 3.9 x 10 (9).

Abstract
We report, for the first time, the surface-enhanced Raman spectra of an important enzyme, coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1), involved in various biological activities such as tumor suppressor function and stem cell differentiation. We have employed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to obtain insight into the structural details of CARM1 by adsorbing it to silver (Ag) nanoparticles. The enzyme retains its activity even after its adsorption onto Ag nanoparticles. We observe strong SERS modes arising from amide vibrations and aromatic ring amino acids. The SERS spectra revealed amide I bands at 1637 cm(-1) and 1666 cm(-1), which arise as a result of the alpha helix of the protein and the polypeptide backbone vibration of a random coil, respectively. In order to confirm the amide vibrations, we have performed SERS on deuterated CARM1, which exhibits a clear red shift in amide band positions. The SERS spectra may provide useful information, which could be harnessed to study the functional interactions of CARM1 with small molecule modulators.

Abstract
We report herein the fabrication of ferritin-embedded self-supporting silica nanofilms via a simple spin-coating process. Ferritin was employed as a template molecule, and solutions of ferritin and silica were spread on a polymer-coated silicon substrate, in this order. After dissolving the polymer underlayer by simply immersing ethanol, a centimeter-sized self-supporting nanofilm of ferritin/silica composite with a thickness of 15 nm was successfully transferred onto an alumina membrane without the film breaking. Ozone and hydrochloric acid solution treatment removed the template ferritin molecules from the composite film to produce corresponding transmembrane nanoholes. The reported method is very simple, and the fabrication of a protein-embedded self-supporting nanofilm enables the design of biomembrane-mimetic devices.

Abstract
There is a continued interest in the development of new on-chip protocols for the determination of the causes of infectious disease. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) for detecting the clinically relevant nucleic acid sequences of Chlamydia trachomatis in a bead-based lab-on-a-chip format, incorporating a solid-phase sample clean-up on-chip. The assay uses streptavidinated polymer microspheres to capture a biotinylated PCR product of the oligonucleotide sequence, which was subsequently hybridized against a complementary rhodamine-labeled, Raman active probe. Central to the assay is an in-channel integrated microfilter, which was used to retain the microspheres, enabling the bound target to be separated from the rest of the sample as part of a solid-phase clean-up (thereby removing any contributions from the background). After washing, the bound Rhodamine labeled detection probe was released thermally from the microspheres by heating and was subsequently mixed on-chip with a stream of silver nanoparticles. The signal was detected downstream using a Raman spectrometer to collect the SERRS response. The assay offers several advantages over traditional laboratory methods, including: the speed of the assay on-chip, the potential for sample clean-up; and the low volume of sample required.

Abstract
Large-scale, self-supporting ultrathin films composed of an elastomeric polyacrylate network interpenetrated by a silica (SiO2) network were synthesized and characterized. The organic network was first photopolymerized and the silica structure was subsequently developed in situ in the preformed organic gel. Composition and morphology of the hybrid interpenetrated network (IPN) nanofilms were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy and compared with the case of zirconia (ZrO2) hybrid IPN reported earlier. Young modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and ultimate tensile elongation were determined for different organic/inorganic molar ratios and give some insights on how the composition of the nanofilms influence their robustness and self-supporting properties.

Abstract
This paper describes a fabrication strategy based on polymer brushes (20-150 nm thick) and soft lithographic techniques, for creating hydrophobic, cross-linked, laterally patterned polymer films. The hydrophobicity of the resulting micrometer-scale "quasi-2D" objects is shown to allow the polymer to act as an etch resist. By adjusting the etching time, we demonstrate that underetching of the gold from underneath the edges of the laterally patterned films can be used to create free-standing polymer-gold hybrid structures. These structures retain their structural integrity when lifted wholly or partially from the substrate and can hence be imaged in suspension. Characterization of the quasi-2D objects was carried out using atomic force microscopy (AFM), ellipsometry, optical microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A continuous film, containing embedded polymer-gold objects, can be lifted, folded, and re-deposited onto a substrate without damaging the conductivity of the embedded metallic objects.

Abstract
The drive to understand biology and medicine at the molecular level with accurate quantitation demands much of current high-throughput analysis systems. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology combined with modern instrumentation have the potential to address this emerging challenge. Using a variety of nanomaterials for multiplex diagnostics and imaging applications will offer sensitive, rapid and cost-effective solutions for the modern clinical laboratory. New nanomaterials have been developed with optical-encoding capabilities for selective tagging of a wide range of medically important targets, including bacteria, cancer cells and individual molecules, such as proteins and DNA, in a single assay. We envision further development in this field will provide numerous advanced tools with increased sensitivity and improved multiplexing capability, for unique applications in molecular biology, genomics and drug discovery.

Abstract
We report for the first time the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies on p300, a large multidomain transcriptional coactivator protein. Vibration spectral analysis has been performed in an attempt to understand the structure of the p300 in the absence of its crystal structure. Strong Raman bands associated with amides I-III have been observed in the protein spectra. This has been confirmed by performing SERS on deuterated p300. We also observe Raman bands associated with the alpha-helix, tryptophan, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and histidine. These bands will provide an ideal tool to study the drug-protein interactions in therapeutics using SERS. We have successfully demonstrated the chloride ion effect on the SERS of p300. The Raman intensity increases in the SERS spectra upon addition of chloride ion along with appearance of new modes. We have developed a new method, namely, the "sandwich technique", which could be used to perform SERS experiments on proteins in dry conditions.

Abstract
A fast and ultra-sensitive trace analysis of methyl parathion pesticides in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channel was investigated using confocal surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). A three-dimensional PDMS-based passive micromixer was fabricated for this purpose. This PDMS micromixer showed a high mixing efficiency because a strong chaotic advection was developed by the simultaneous vertical and transverse dispersion of the confluent streams. The confocal SERS signal was measured after methyl parathion pesticides were effectively adsorbed onto silver nanoparticles while flowing along the upper and lower alligator-teeth-shaped PDMS channel. A quantitative analysis of the methyl parathion pesticides was performed based on the measured peak height at 1246 cm-1. Our method has a detection limit of 0.1 ppm. This value satisfies the requirement recommended by the Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council (CIPAC) for the determination of methyl parathion in pesticide formulations. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using confocal SERS for the highly sensitive detection of methyl parathion pesticides in a PDMS microfluidic channel.
