Food Chem 2024; 446:138817. [PMID: 38401299 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) are two mycotoxins that often co-occur in corn. A surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based lateral flow immunoassay (SERS-LFIA) that can simultaneously detect AFB1 and ZEN in corn samples was developed employing the core-interlayer-satellite magnetic nanocomposites (Fe3O4@PEI/AuMBA@AgMBA) as dual-functional SERS tags. Under the optimal conditions, the detection ranges of AFB1 and ZEN in corn samples were 0.1-10 μg/kg and 4-400 μg/kg, respectively. Moreover, the test results for two mycotoxins in contaminated corn samples employing the suggested SERS-LFIA was in line with those of the HPLC technique. In view of its satisfactory sensitivity, accuracy, precision and short testing time (20 min), the developed system has a promising application prospect in the on-site simultaneous detection of AFB1 and ZEN.

Abstract
Advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection have helped to overcome the limitations of traditional in vitro diagnostic methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, owing to its high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. However, for the implementation of SERS detection technology in disease diagnosis, a SERS-based assay platform capable of analyzing clinical samples is essential. Moreover, infectious diseases like COVID-19 require the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies that can rapidly and accurately determine infection status. As an effective assay platform, SERS-based bioassays utilize SERS nanotags labeled with protein or DNA receptors on Au or Ag nanoparticles, serving as highly sensitive optical probes. Additionally, a microdevice is necessary as an interface between the target biomolecules and SERS nanotags. This review aims to introduce various microdevices developed for SERS detection, available for POC diagnostics, including LFA strips, microfluidic chips, and microarray chips. Furthermore, the article presents research findings reported in the last 20 years for the SERS-based bioassay of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Finally, the prospects of SERS bioassays are discussed concerning the integration of SERS-based microdevices and portable Raman readers into POC systems, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence technology.

Abstract
Here, a multiplex surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-immunochromatography (ICA) platform is presented using a graphene oxide (GO)-based film-like magnetic tag (GFe-DAu-D/M) that effectively captures and detects multiple bacteria in complex specimens. The 2D GFe-DAu-D/M tag with universal bacterial capture ability is fabricated through the layer-by-layer assembly of one layer of small Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and two layers of 30 nm AuNPs with a 0.5 nm built-in nanogap on monolayer GO nanosheets followed by co-modification with 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid).The GFe-DAu-D/M enabled the rapid enrichment of multiple bacteria by MPBA and quantitative analysis of target bacteria on test lines by specific antibodies, thus achieving multiple signal amplification of magnetic enrichment effect and multilayer dense hotspots and eliminating matrix interference in real-world applications. The developed technology can directly and simultaneously diagnose three major pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhimurium) with detection limits down to the level of 10 cells mL-1. The good performance of the proposed method in the detection of real urinary tract infection specimens is also demonstrated, suggesting the great potential of the GFe-DAu-D/M-ICA platform for the highly sensitive monitoring of bacterial infections or contamination.

Abstract
Direct pen writing offers versatile opportunities for development of low-cost tests for point-of-care applications. In this work a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) test was fabricated by hand "writing" immunoprobes onto hand-cut nitrocellulose strips with a commercial fountain pen. The qualitative capabilities of the test were extended by addition of a Raman reporter and consequent design and fabrication of a Surface Enhanced Resonant Raman Scattering (SERRS)-LFIA test. As proof-of-concept, dual detection of penicillin G was achieved in milk with a visual LOD of 20 ppm and a dynamic range of 0.03-97.5 ppm. Evaluation against equivalent tests performed with conventionally prepared LFIA strips showed comparable results, thus demonstrating the validity of the test. These results demonstrate the potential for further decrease in cost and consequent broader use of LFIA tests in remote regions and resource-limited environments.

Abstract
Low-cost analytical assays enable accessible detection of clinically and environmentally important analytes; however, common enzyme-based assays suffer from high production and storage costs. Catalytically active synthetic materials serve as replacements for natural enzymes, but development of cost-effective, highly efficient synthetic strategies remains a challenge. Here, we utilized a facile synthesis for copper bipyridine coordination polymers (CuBpyCPs) and investigated structure-function relationships to achieve optimal catalytic properties for a glucose assay. We demonstrated the manipulation of CuBpyCP morphology, resulting in nanoscale petal-like structures and microscale high-index faceted structures, and identified three pure crystal morphologies exhibiting a comparable catalytic activity (Km = 0.3-0.5 mM) to horseradish peroxidase.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria is absolutely essential for research in environmental science, food quality, and medical diagnostics. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as an emerging spectroscopic technique, has the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, rapid detection speed, and portable operation, which has been broadly used in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in different kinds of complex samples. However, the SERS detection method is also challenging in dealing with the detection difficulties of bacterial samples in complex matrices, such as interference from complex matrices, confusion of similar bacteria, and complexity of data processing. Therefore, researchers have developed some technologies to assist in SERS detection of bacteria, including both the front-end process of obtaining bacterial sample data and the back-end data processing process. The review summarizes the key steps for improving bacterial SERS signals in complex samples: separation, recognition, detection, and analysis, highlighting the principles of each step and the key roles for SERS pathogenic bacteria analysis, and the interconnectivity between each step. In addition, the current challenges in the practical application of SERS technology and the development trends are discussed. The purpose of this review is to deepen researchers' understanding of the various stages of using SERS technology to detect bacteria in complex sample matrices, and help them find new breakthroughs in different stages to facilitate the detection and control of bacteria in complex samples.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms are among the most harmful public health problems in the world, causing tens of millions of deaths and incalculable economic losses every year. The establishment of rapid, simple, and highly sensitive diagnostic methods for pathogenic microorganisms is important for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, guidance of timely treatment, and the reduction of public safety risks. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) based on the colorimetric signal of colloidal gold is the most popular point-of-care testing technology at present, but it is limited by poor sensitivity and low throughput and hardly meets the needs of the highly sensitive screening of pathogenic microorganisms. In recent years, the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and LFA technology has developed into a novel analytical platform with high sensitivity and multiple detection capabilities and has shown great advantages in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and infectious diseases. This review summarizes the working principle, design ideas, and application of the existing SERS-based LFA methods in pathogenic microorganism detection and further introduces the effect of new technologies such as Raman signal encoding, magnetic enrichment, novel membrane nanotags, and integrated Raman reading equipment on the performance of SERS-LFA. Finally, the main challenges and the future direction of development in this field of SERS-LFA are discussed.

Abstract
Accurate and reliable detection of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for the effective prevention and rapid containment of COVID-19. Current approaches suffer from complex procedures or a single signal readout, resulting in an increased risk of false negatives and low sensitivity. Here, we developed a fluorescence (FL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) dual-mode imaging platform based on a self-powered DNAzyme walker to achieve accurate surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein at the single-molecule level. The specific activation of the DNAzyme walker by the target protein provides the power for the system's continuous running, enabling the simultaneous recording of the reduction in fluorescence spots and the appearance of ECL spots generated by the Ru-doped metal-organic framework (MOF) emitter. Therefore, the constructed imaging platform can achieve dual-mode detection of spike protein via reverse dual-signal feedback, which could effectively eliminate false-positive or false-negative signals and improve the detection accuracy and sensitivity with a low detection limit. In particular, the dual-mode accuracy of spike protein diagnosis in samples has been significantly improved compared to single-signal output means. In addition, this dual-mode imaging platform may become a prospective diagnostic device for other infectious viruses.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) allows the ultrasensitive detection of analytes present in traces or even single molecule levels by the generation of electromagnetic fields. It is a powerful vibrational spectroscopic method that is capable to detect traces of chemical and biological analytes. SERS technique is involved in the extremely sophisticated studies of molecules with high specificity and sensitivity. In the vicinity of nanomaterials decorated surfaces, SERS can monitor extremely low concentrations of analytes in a non-destructive manner with narrow line widths. This review article is focused on some recently developed SERS-based sensors for distinct types of analytes like disease-related biomarkers, organic and inorganic molecules, various toxins, dyes, pesticides, bacteria as well as single molecules. This study aims to enlighten the arising sensing approaches based on the SERS technique. Apart from this, some basics of the SERS technique like their mechanism, detection strategy, and involvement of some specific nanomaterials are also highlighted herein. Finally, the study concluded with some discussion of applications of SERS in various fields like food and environmental analysis.

[PMID: 37499496 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
The sudden outbreak of monkeypox in 2022 suggests the importance of developing a rapid but sensitive virus detection technology. Herein, we report a colorimetric/surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-signal co-enhanced immunochromatographic assay (ICA) for the flexible, ultrasensitive, and accurate detection of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in various complex samples. A thickness-controlled polyethyleneimine interlayer (1 nm) is coated onto two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet to enable the electrostatic adsorption of two layers of dense 30 nm AuNPs, which not only improves colorimetric ability but also creates numerous efficient SERS hotspots. Moreover, the SERS activity of film-like dual-signal tag (MoS2@Au-Au) is drastically enhanced by combining the chemical enhancement effect of MoS2 sheets and the electromagnetic enhancement effect of Au-Au hotspots. The introduction of MoS2@Au-Au greatly broadens the application range of existing ICA methods, in which the colorimetric signal supports the quick identification of the target virus and the SERS signal allows the quantitative detection of MPXV with detection limits of as low as 0.2 and 0.002 ng/mL. Given its rapid detection ability (< 20 min), high accuracy in real samples (RSD < 9.89 %), and superior sensitivity than traditional AuNP-based colorimetric ICA (> 500 times), the proposed assay has great potential for field application.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has found a broad application for testing in point-of-care (POC) settings. LFIA is performed using test strips-fully integrated multimembrane assemblies containing all reagents for assay performance. Migration of liquid sample along the test strip initiates the formation of labeled immunocomplexes, which are detected visually or instrumentally. The tradeoff of LFIA's rapidity and user-friendliness is its relatively low sensitivity (high limit of detection), which restricts its applicability for detecting low-abundant targets. An increase in LFIA's sensitivity has attracted many efforts and is often considered one of the primary directions in developing immunochemical POC assays. Post-assay enhancements based on chemical reactions facilitate high sensitivity. In this critical review, we explain the performance of post-assay chemical enhancements, discuss their advantages, limitations, compared limit of detection (LOD) improvements, and required time for the enhancement procedures. We raise concerns about the performance of enhanced LFIA and discuss the bottlenecks in the existing experiments. Finally, we suggest the experimental workflow for step-by-step development and validation of enhanced LFIA. This review summarizes the state-of-art of LFIA with chemical enhancement, offers ways to overcome existing limitations, and discusses future outlooks for highly sensitive testing in POC conditions.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of the influenza A virus (FluA) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can effectively control their spread. We developed a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-functional two-channel immunochromatographic assay (ICA) biosensor to simultaneously detect the above-mentioned viruses. A unique two-dimensional Ti3C2-QD immunoprobe was established by adsorbing dense quantum dots (QDs) onto the light green monostromatic Ti3C2 MXene surface, resulting in light green colorimetric and superior fluorescence signals and guaranteeing high sensitivity, stability, and excellent liquidity for ICA detection. Rapid visual screening for FluA and SARS-CoV-2 infections was applicable via a green colorimetric signal. Sensitive and quantitative detection of viruses in their early stages of infection was performed by using the fluorescence signal. Our proposed Ti3C2-QD-ICA biosensor can simultaneously detect 1 ng/mL or 2.4 pg/mL FluA and 1 ng/mL or 6.2 pg/mL SARS-CoV-2 via its colorimetric or fluorescence signals, respectively, with a short testing time (20 min), good reproducibility, specificity, and accuracy. In addition, this method demonstrated sensitivity higher than that of the conventional AuNP-based ICA method in throat swab samples. Hence, our proposed Ti3C2-QD-ICA method can be potentially applied for the rapid, ultrasensitive, and multiplex detection of respiratory viruses.

Abstract
The structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD and human ACE2 as well as changes in the structure due to binding activities were analysed using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The inhibitor cohaerin C was applied to inhibit the binding between spike RBD and ACE2. Differences and changes in the Raman spectra were determined using deconvolution of the amide bands and principal component analysis. We thus demonstrate a fast and label-free analysis of the protein structures and the differentiation between bound and unbound states. The approach is suitable for sensing and screening and might be relevant to investigate other protein systems as well.

Abstract
The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was a huge disaster to human society. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which led to COVID-19, has resulted in a large number of deaths. Even though the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the most efficient method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the disadvantages (such as long detection time, professional operators, expensive instruments, and laboratory equipment) limit its application. In this review, the different kinds of nano-biosensors based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), field-effect transistor (FET), fluorescence methods, and electrochemical methods are summarized, starting with a concise description of their sensing mechanism. The different bioprobes (such as ACE2, S protein-antibody, IgG antibody, IgM antibody, and SARS-CoV-2 DNA probes) with different bio-principles are introduced. The key structural components of the biosensors are briefly introduced to give readers an understanding of the principles behind the testing methods. In particular, SARS-CoV-2-related RNA mutation detection and its challenges are also briefly described. We hope that this review will encourage readers with different research backgrounds to design SARS-CoV-2 nano-biosensors with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technology, as a powerful tool to identify molecular species by collecting molecular spectral signals at the single-molecule level, has achieved substantial progresses in the fields of environmental science, medical diagnosis, food safety, and biological analysis. As deepening research is delved into SERS sensing, more and more high-performance or multifunctional SERS substrate materials emerge, which are expected to push Raman sensing into more application fields. Especially in the field of biological analysis, intrinsic and extrinsic SERS sensing schemes have been widely used and explored due to their fast, sensitive and reliable advantages. Herein, recent developments of SERS substrates and their applications in biomolecular detection (SARS-CoV-2 virus, tumor etc.), biological imaging and pesticide detection are summarized. The SERS concepts (including its basic theory and sensing mechanism) and the important strategies (extending from nanomaterials with tunable shapes and nanostructures to surface bio-functionalization by modifying affinity groups or specific biomolecules) for improving SERS biosensing performance are comprehensively discussed. For data analysis and identification, the applications of machine learning methods and software acquisition sources in SERS biosensing and diagnosing are discussed in detail. In conclusion, the challenges and perspectives of SERS biosensing in the future are presented.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy offers the potential for fingerprinting biological molecules at ultra-low concentration and therefore has potential for the detection of viruses. Here we review various Raman techniques employed for the investigation of viruses. Different Raman techniques are discussed including conventional Raman spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, Raman tweezer, tip-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering can play an essential role in viral detection by multiplexing nanotechnology, microfluidics, and machine learning for ensuring spectral reproducibility and efficient workflow in sample processing and detection. The application of these techniques to diagnose the SARS-CoV-2 virus is also reviewed.

Abstract
This study proposed a CRISPR/Cas13a-powered electrochemical multiplexed biosensor for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA strands. Current SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic methods, such as reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), are primarily based on nucleic acid amplification (NAA) and reverse transcription (RT) processes, which have been linked to significant issues such as cross-contamination and long turnaround times. Using a CRISPR/Cas13a system integrated onto an electrochemical biosensor, we present a multiplexed and NAA-free strategy for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA fragments. SARS-CoV-2 S and Orf1ab genes were detected in both synthetic and clinical samples. The CRISPR/Cas13a-powered biosensor achieved low detection limits of 2.5 and 4.5 ag/µL for the S and Orf1ab genes, respectively, successfully meeting the sensitivity requirement. Furthermore, the biosensor's specificity, simplicity, and universality may position it as a potential rival to RT-PCR.

A SERS-based lateral flow immunochromatographic assay using Raman reporter mediated-gap AuNR@Au nanoparticles as the substrate for the detection of enrofloxacin in food samples. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1257:341152. [PMID: 37062566 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023]
Abstract
A lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for sensitive and specific detection of antibiotic enrofloxacin (ENR) in food samples was developed. 1,4-benzenedithiol (BDT) was selected as the Raman reporter, and the BDT mediated-gap AuNR@Au nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized, characterized and used as the substrate in SERS-LFIA due to the existence of the anisotropic gold nanorods (AuNRs) and the nano-gap with the high SERS enhancement. AuNRs were prepared, then covered by monolayer BDT. Under reduction condition and in presence of HAuCl4, the reduced gold was deposited and grown on AuNRs to form AuNRBDT@Au NPs. As the two thiol groups on para-positions in BDT were respectively linked to AuNR (core) and Au (shell), the gap size inside the NPs was uniform. The immunoprobe (e.g. AuNRBDT@Au-Ab) was obtained by immobilizing Ab against ENR on the surface of AuNRBDT@Au NPs. The performance of SERS-LFIA was similar to that in colloidal gold based-LFIA, and the entire assay time was within 15 min. After LFIA procedures, the specific SERS intensity of BDT at 1560 cm-1 on the test line was measured for the quantitative detection of ENR. The IC50 and limit of detection (LOD) of the LFIA for ENR were 59 pg mL-1 and 0.12 pg mL-1 (e.g. 71 pg g-1 and 0.14 pg g-1 in real sample), respectively. There was no cross-reactivity (CR) of the LFIA with other five antibiotics. The recoveries of ENR from spiked food samples were in range of 89.2%-102.4% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.70%-6.38%. It was proven that the proposed method was able to simply and rapidly detect ENR in food samples with high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and precision. The platform can be also an alternative platform for the detection of other target analytes using corresponding Abs.

SERS-Tags: Selective Immobilization and Detection of Bacteria by Strain-Specific Antibodies and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:182. [PMID: 36831948 PMCID: PMC9954015 DOI: 10.3390/bios13020182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Efficient separation and sensitive identification of pathogenic bacterial strains is essential for a prosperous modern society, with direct applications in medical diagnostics, drug discovery, biodefense, and food safety. We developed a fast and reliable method for antibody-based selective immobilization of bacteria from suspension onto a gold-plated glass surface, followed by detection using strain-specific antibodies linked to gold nanoparticles decorated with a reporter molecule. The reporter molecules are subsequently detected by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Such a multi-functionalized nanoparticle is called a SERS-tag. The presented procedure uses widely accessible and cheap materials for manufacturing and functionalization of the nanoparticles and the immobilization surfaces. Here, we exemplify the use of the produced SERS-tags for sensitive single-cell detection of opportunistic pathogen Escherichia coli, and we demonstrate the selectivity of our method using two other bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus and Serratia marcescens, as negative controls. We believe that the described approach has a potential to inspire the development of novel medical diagnostic tools for rapid identification of bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Screening of biomarkers is a powerful approach for providing a holistic view of the disease spectrum and facilitating the diagnosis and prognosis of the state of infectious diseases. Unaffected by the homeostasis mechanism in the human body, urine accommodates systemic changes and reflects the pathophysiological condition of an individual. Easy availability in large volumes and non-invasive sample collection have rendered urine an ideal source of biomarkers for various diseases. Infectious diseases may be communicable, and therefore early diagnosis and treatment are of immense importance. Current diagnostic approaches preclude the timely identification of clinical conditions and also lack portability. Point-of-care (POC) testing solutions have gained attention as alternative diagnostic measures due to their ability to provide rapid and on-site results. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are the mainstay in POC device development and have attracted interest owing to their potential to provide instantaneous results in resource-limited settings. The discovery and optimization of a definitive biomarker can render POC testing an excellent platform, thus impacting unwarranted antibiotic administration and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. This Review summarizes the importance of urine as an emerging biological fluid in infectious disease research and diagnosis in clinical settings. We review the academic research related to LFAs. Further, we also describe commercial POC devices based on the identification of urinary biomarkers as diagnostic targets for infectious diseases. We also discuss the future use of LFAs in developing more effective POC tests for urinary biomarkers of various infections.

Abstract
With the frequent detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in dwellings and wastewater, the risk of transmission of environmental contaminants is of great concern. Fast, simple and sensitive sensors are essential for timely detecting infection and controlling transmission through environment fomites. Herein, we developed a Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) aptasensor, which can realize ultrasensitive and rapid assay of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles. In this strategy, we designed a novel locking amplifier which is activated only in the presence of virus by aptamer recognition. The reaction process was carried out though one-pot method at 37 °C, which can save time and resources. In addition, magnetic beads used in reaction system can simplify operation, as well as provide ideas for developing biosensing robots via magnetic field. This SERS aptasensor can detect SARS-CoV-2 virus with a LOD of 260 TU/µL within 40 min in the linear range of 625-10,000 TU/µL. Therefore, this convenience, speediness, sensitivity, and selectivity of detection has great prospects in analyzing SARS-CoV-2 viral particles or other viruses in environment as well as monitoring of environmental virus sources.

Abstract
Due to the recent pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the lateral flow immunoassay used for its rapid antigen test is more popular than ever before. However, the history of the lateral flow immunoassay is about 60 years old, and its original purpose of use, such as a COVID-19 rapid antigen test or a pregnancy test, was the qualitative detection of a target analyte. Recently, the demand for quantitative analysis of lateral flow immunoassays is increasing in various fields. Lateral flow immunoassays for quantitative detection using various materials and sensor technologies are being introduced, and readers for analyzing them are being developed. Quantitative analysis readers are highly anticipated for their future development in line with technological advancements such as optical, magnetic field, photothermal, and electrochemical sensors and trends such as weight reduction, miniaturization, and cost reduction of systems. In addition, the sensing, processing, and communication functions of portable personal devices such as smartphones can be used as tools for the quantitative analysis of lateral flow immunoassays. As a result, lateral flow immunoassays can efficiently achieve the goal of rapid diagnosis by point-of-care testing. Readers used for the quantification of lateral flow immunoassays were classified according to the adopted sensor technology, and the research trends in each were reviewed in this paper. The development of a quantitative analysis system was often carried out in the assay aspect, so not only the readers but also the assay development cases were reviewed if necessary. In addition, systems for quantitative analysis of COVID-19, which have recently been gaining importance, were introduced as a separate section.

Abstract
Since COVID-19 and flu have similar symptoms, they are difficult to distinguish without an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, it is critical to quickly and accurately determine which virus was infected and take appropriate treatments when a person has an infection. This study developed a dual-mode surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based LFA strip that can diagnose SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus with high accuracy to reduce the false-negative problem of the commercial colorimetric LFA strip. Furthermore, using a single strip, it is feasible to detect SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus simultaneously. A clinical test was performed on 39 patient samples (28 SARS-CoV-2 positives, 6 influenza A virus positives, and 5 negatives), evaluating the clinical efficacy of the proposed dual-mode SERS-LFA strip. Our assay results for clinical samples show that the dual-mode LFA strip significantly reduced the false-negative rate for both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus.

Abstract
The application of quantum dots (QDs) for detecting and treating various types of coronaviruses is very promising, as their low toxicity and high surface performance make them superior among other nanomaterials; in conjugation with fluorescent probes they are promising semiconductor nanomaterials for the detection of various cellular processes and viral infections. In view of the successful results for inhibiting SARS-CoV-2, functional QDs could serve eminent role in the growth of safe nanotherapy for the cure of viral infections in the near future; their large surface areas help bind numerous molecules post-synthetically. Functionalized QDs with high functionality, targeted selectivity, stability and less cytotoxicity can be employed for highly sensitive co-delivery and imaging/diagnosis. Besides, due to the importance of safety and toxicity issues, QDs prepared from plant sources (e.g. curcumin) are much more attractive, as they provide good biocompatibility and low toxicity. In this review, the recent developments pertaining to the diagnostic and inhibitory potentials of QDs against SARS-CoV-2 are deliberated including important challenges and future outlooks. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Ultrasensitive and Specific Detection of Anticancer Drug 5-Fluorouracil in Blood Samples by a Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)-Based Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27134019. [PMID: 35807264 PMCID: PMC9268288 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27134019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an effective anticancer drug widely used in the world. To improve therapy efficiency and reduce side effects, it is very important to frequently detect the concentration of 5-FU in blood samples of patients. In this work, a new type of lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for ultrasensitive and specific detection of 5-FU in blood samples was developed. Au@Ag/Au nanoparticles (NPs) employing Au particles as the core and Ag/Au alloy as the shell were synthesized, characterized and used as the substrate in SERS-LFIA due to their high SERS enhancement and biocompatibility. The immunoprobe was made in the form of AuMBA@Ag/Au-Ab in which mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA, a common Raman active reporter) was embedded in the core–shell layer and the monoclonal antibody (mAb) against 5-FU was immobilized on the surface. The performance of SERS-LFIA was similar to that in colloidal gold based-LFIA, and the entire assay time was within 20 min. According to the color intensity on the testing (T) lines of LFIA strips visualized by eyes, the contents of 5-FU in the samples could be qualitatively or semi-quantitatively identified. Furthermore, by measuring the characteristic Raman intensities of MBA on T lines, quantitative detection of 5-FU in the samples were achieved. The IC50 and limit of detection (LOD) of the LFIA for 5-FU were found to be 20.9 pg mL−1 and 4.4 pg mL−1, respectively. There was no cross-reactivity (CR) of the LFIA with nine relative compounds, and the CR with cytosine, tegafur and carmofur were less than 4.5%. The recoveries of 5-FU from spiked blood samples were in the range of 78.6~86.4% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.69~4.42%. Five blood samples containing 5-FU collected from the Cancer Hospital were measured by SERS-LFIA, and the results were confirmed by LC-MS/MS. It was proven that the proposed method was able to simply and rapidly detect 5-FU in blood samples with high sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and precision.

Abstract
Interactions of proteins with nanomaterials draw attention of many research groups interested in fundamental phenomena. However, alongside with valuable information regarding physicochemical aspects of such processes and their mechanisms, they more and more often prove to be useful from a point of view of bioanalytics. Deliberate use of processes based on adsorption of proteins on nanoparticles (or vice versa) allows for a development of new analytical methods and improvement of the existing ones. It also leads to obtaining of nanoparticles of desired properties and functionalities, which can be used as elements of analytical tools for various applications. Due to interactions with nanoparticles, proteins can also gain new functionalities or lose their interfering potential, which from perspective of bioanalytics seems to be very inviting and attractive. In the framework of this article we will discuss the bioanalytical potential of interactions of proteins with a chosen group of nanoparticles, and implementation of so driven processes for biosensing. Moreover, we will show both positive and negative (opportunities and challenges) aspects resulting from the presence of proteins in media/samples containing metal-based nanoparticles or their precursors.

Abstract
Non-invasive early diagnosis is of great significant in disease pathologic development and subsequent medical treatments, and microRNA (miRNA) detection has attracted critical attention in early cancer screening and diagnosis. However, it was still a challenge to report an accurate and sensitive method for the detection of miRNA during cancer development, especially in the presence of its analogs that produce intense background noise. Herein, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)–based lateral flow assay (LFA) biosensor, assisted with catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification strategy, for the dynamic monitoring of miR-106b and miR-196b, associated with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). In the presence of target miRNAs, two hairpin DNAs could self-assemble into double-stranded DNA, exposing the biotin molecules modified on the surface of palladium (Pd)–gold (Au) core–shell nanorods (Pd-AuNRs). Then, the biotin molecules could be captured by the streptavidin (SA), which was fixed on the test lines (T1 line and T2 line) beforehand. The core–shell spatial structures and aggregation Pd-AuNRs generated abundant active “hot spots” on the T line, significantly amplifying the SERS signals. Using this strategy, the limits of detections were low to aM level, and the selectivity, reproducibility, and uniformity of the proposed SERS-LFA biosensor were satisfactory. Finally, this rapid analysis strategy was successfully applied to quantitatively detect the target miRNAs in clinical serum obtained from healthy subjects and patients with LSCC at different stages. The results were consistent with the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Thus, the CHA-assisted SERS-LFA biosensor would become a promising alternative tool for miRNAs detection, which showed a tremendous clinical application prospect in diagnosing LSCC.

Abstract
The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method has been adopted worldwide to diagnose severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Although this method has good sensitivity and specificity, there is a need to develop a more rapid diagnostic technology, given the virus’s rapid spread. However, the RT-PCR method takes a long time to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 because of the required thermocycling steps. Therefore, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-PCR detection method using an AuNP-internalized Au nanodimple substrate (AuNDS) to shorten the diagnosis time by reducing the number of thermocycling steps needed to amplify the DNA. For the representative target markers, namely, the envelope protein (E) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes of SARS-CoV-2, 25 RT-PCR thermocycles are required to reach a detectable threshold value, while 15 cycles are needed for magnetic bead-based SERS-PCR when the initial DNA concentration was 1.00× 105 copies/μL. However, only 8 cycles are needed for the AuNDS-based SERS-PCR. The corresponding detectable target DNA concentrations were 3.36 × 1012, 3.28 × 109, and 2.56 × 107 copies/μL, respectively. Therefore, AuNDS-based SERS-PCR is seen as being a new molecular diagnostic platform that can shorten the time required for the thermocycling steps relative to the conventional RT-PCR.

[PMID: 35058004 PMCID: PMC8711038 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the economy and health security on a global scale, causing a drastic change on lifestyle, calling a need to mitigate further transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown great potential in the sensitive and rapid detection of various molecules including viruses, through the identification of characteristic peaks of their outer membrane proteins. Accurate detection can be developed through the synergistic integration effect among SERS-active substrate, the appropriate laser wavelength, and the target analyte. In this study, gold nanocavities (Au NC) and Au nanoparticles upon ZrO2 nano-bowls (Au NPs/pZrO2) were tested and used as SERS-active substrates in detecting SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus containing S protein as a surface capsid glycoprotein (SARS-CoV-2 S pseudovirus) and vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV-G) pseudo-type lentivirus (VSV-G pseudovirus) to demonstrate their virus detection capability. The optimized Au NCs and Au NPs/pZrO2 substrates were then verified by examining the repetition of measurement, reproducibility, and detection limit. Due to the difference in geometry and composition of the substrates, the characteristic peak-positions of live SARS-CoV-2 S and VSV-G pseudoviruses in the obtained Raman spectra vary, which were also compared with those of inactivated ones. Based on the experimental results, SERS mechanism of each substrate to detect virus is proposed. The formation of hot spots brought by the synergistic integration effect among substrate, analyte, and laser induction may result differences in the obtained SERS spectra.

Abstract
Rapid detection of antibodies to SARS‐CoV‐2 is critical for COVID‐19 diagnostics, epidemiological research, and studies related to vaccine evaluation. It is known that the nucleocapsid (N) is the most abundant protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 and can serve as an excellent biomarker due to its strong immunogenicity. This paper reports a rapid and ultrasensitive 3D biosensor for quantification of COVID‐19 antibodies in seconds via electrochemical transduction. This sensor consists of an array of three‐dimensional micro‐length‐scale electrode architecture that is fabricated by aerosol jet 3D printing, which is an additive manufacturing technique. The micropillar array is coated with N proteins via an intermediate layer of nano‐graphene and is integrated into a microfluidic channel to complete an electrochemical cell that uses antibody‐antigen interaction to detect the antibodies to the N protein. Due to the structural innovation in the electrode geometry, the sensing is achieved in seconds, and the sensor shows an excellent limit of detection of 13 fm and an optimal detection range of 100 fm to 1 nm. Furthermore, the sensor can be regenerated at least 10 times, which reduces the cost per test. This work provides a powerful platform for rapid screening of antibodies to SARS‐CoV‐2 after infection or vaccination. This work demonstrates a microfluidic biosensor with 3D printed array electrodes that detects nucleocapsid (N) antibodies to SARS‐CoV‐2 in mere 10‐12 seconds. This breakthrough technology will save lives and help in the management of the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic.

Abstract
Considering the worldwide health crisis associated with highly contagious severe respiratory disease of COVID-19 outbreak, the development of multiplexed, simple and rapid diagnostic platforms to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is in high demand. Here, a nucleic acid amplification-free electrochemical biosensor based on four-way junction (4-WJ) hybridization is presented for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. To form a 4-WJ structure, a Universal DNA-Hairpin (UDH) probe is hybridized with two adaptor strands and a SARS-CoV-2 RNA target. One of the adaptor strands is functionalized with a redox mediator that can be detected using an electrochemical biosensor. The biosensor could simultaneously detect 5.0 and 6.8 ag/μL of S and Orf1ab genes, respectively, within 1 h. The biosensor was evaluated with 21 clinical samples (16 positive and 5 negative). The results revealed a satisfactory agreement with qRT-PCR. In conclusion, this biosensor has the potential to be used as an on-site, real-time diagnostic test for COVID-19.

Abstract
In light of the swift outspread and considerable mortality, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) necessitates a rapid screening tool and a precise diagnosis. Saliva is considered as an alternative specimen to detect the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since the viral load is comparable to what are found in a throat and a nasal cavity. The electrical double layer (EDL)-gated field-effect transistor-based biosensor (BioFET) emerges as a promising candidate for salivary COVID-19 tests due to a high sensitivity, a portable configuration, a label-free operation, and a matrix insensitivity. In this work, the authors utilize EDL-gated BioFETs to detect complementary DNAs (cDNAs) and viral RNAs with various testing conditions such as switches of probes, temperature treatments, and matrices. The selectivity is confirmed with cDNA and noncomplementary DNA (ncDNA), exhibiting an eightfold difference in electrical signals. The matrix insensitivity is evaluated, and BioFETs successfully validate the detection of SARS-CoV-2 N-gene RNA down to 1 fm in diluted human saliva with a 95°C- and a 25°C-treatment, respectively. This proposed system has a high potential to be deployed for an on-site COVID-19 screening, improving the disease control and benefitting frontline healthcare system.

Abstract
The growing interest in the development of new platforms for the application of Raman spectroscopy techniques in biosensor technologies is driven by the potential of these techniques in identifying chemical compounds, as well as structural and functional features of biomolecules. The effect of Raman scattering is a result of inelastic light scattering processes, which lead to the emission of scattered light with a different frequency associated with molecular vibrations of the identified molecule. Spontaneous Raman scattering is usually weak, resulting in complexities with the separation of weak inelastically scattered light and intense Rayleigh scattering. These limitations have led to the development of various techniques for enhancing Raman scattering, including resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy (coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy and stimulated Raman spectroscopy). Furthermore, the discovery of the phenomenon of enhanced Raman scattering near metallic nanostructures gave impetus to the development of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as well as its combination with resonance Raman spectroscopy and nonlinear Raman spectroscopic techniques. The combination of nonlinear and resonant optical effects with metal substrates or nanoparticles can be used to increase speed, spatial resolution, and signal amplification in Raman spectroscopy, making these techniques promising for the analysis and characterization of biological samples. This review provides the main provisions of the listed Raman techniques and the advantages and limitations present when applied to life sciences research. The recent advances in SERS and SERS-combined techniques are summarized, such as SERRS, SE-CARS, and SE-SRS for bioimaging and the biosensing of molecules, which form the basis for potential future applications of these techniques in biosensor technology. In addition, an overview is given of the main tools for success in the development of biosensors based on Raman spectroscopy techniques, which can be achieved by choosing one or a combination of the following approaches: (i) fabrication of a reproducible SERS substrate, (ii) synthesis of the SERS nanotag, and (iii) implementation of new platforms for on-site testing.

Abstract
Molecular diagnosis, which plays a major role in infectious disease screening with successful understanding of the human genome, has attracted more attention because of the outbreak of COVID-19 recently. Since point-of-care testing (POCT) can expand the application of molecular diagnosis with the benefit of rapid reply, low cost, and working in decentralized environments, many researchers and commercial institutions have dedicated tremendous effort and enthusiasm to POCT-based biosensing for molecular diagnosis. In this review, we firstly summarize the state-of-the-art techniques and the construction of biosensing systems for POC molecular diagnosis. Then, the application scenarios of POCT-based biosensing for molecular diagnosis were also reviewed. Finally, several challenges and perspectives of POC biosensing for molecular diagnosis are discussed. This review is expected to help researchers deepen comprehension and make progresses in POCT-based biosensing field for molecular diagnosis applications.

Abstract
With the continuous growth of the human population and new challenges in the quality of life, it is more important than ever to diagnose diseases and pathologies with high accuracy, sensitivity and in different scenarios from medical implants to the operation room. Although conventional methods of diagnosis revolutionized healthcare, alternative analytical methods are making their way out of academic labs into clinics. In this regard, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) developed immensely with its capability to achieve single-molecule sensitivity and high-specificity in the last two decades, and now it is well on its way to join the arsenal of physicians. This review discusses how SERS is becoming an essential tool for the clinical investigation of pathologies including inflammation, infections, necrosis/apoptosis, hypoxia, and tumors. We critically discuss the strategies reported so far in nanoparticle assembly, functionalization, non-metallic substrates, colloidal solutions and how these techniques improve SERS characteristics during pathology diagnoses like sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limit. Moreover, it is crucial to introduce the most recent developments and future perspectives of SERS as a biomedical analytical method. We finally discuss the challenges that remain as bottlenecks for a routine SERS implementation in the medical room from in vitro to in vivo applications. The review showcases the adaptability and versatility of SERS to resolve pathological processes by covering various experimental and analytical methods and the specific spectral features and analysis results achieved by these methods.

Abstract
Viruses are responsible for multiple infections in humans that impose huge health burdens on individuals and populations worldwide. Therefore, numerous diagnostic methods and strategies have been developed for prevention, management, and decreasing the burden of viral diseases, each having its advantages and limitations. Viral infections are commonly detected using serological and nucleic acid-based methods. However, these conventional and clinical approaches have some limitations that can be resolved by implementing other detector devices. Therefore, the search for sensitive, selective, portable, and costless approaches as efficient alternative clinical methods for point of care testing (POCT) analysis has gained much attention in recent years. POCT is one of the ultimate goals in virus detection, and thus, the tests need to be rapid, specific, sensitive, accessible, and user-friendly. In this review, after a brief overview of viruses and their characteristics, the conventional viral detection methods, the clinical approaches, and their advantages and shortcomings are firstly explained. Then, LFA systems working principles, benefits, classification are discussed. Furthermore, the studies regarding designing and employing LFAs in diagnosing different types of viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2 as a main concern worldwide and innovations in the LFAs' approaches and designs, are comprehensively discussed here. Furthermore, several strategies addressed in some studies for overcoming LFA limitations like low sensitivity are reviewed. Numerous techniques are adopted to increase sensitivity and perform quantitative detection. Employing several visualization methods, using different labeling reporters, integrating LFAs with other detection methods to benefit from both LFA and the integrated detection device advantages, and designing unique membranes to increase reagent reactivity, are some of the approaches that are highlighted.

Rapid and accurate diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A virus (FluA) antigens in the early stages of virus infection is the key to control the epidemic spread. Here, we developed a two-channel fluorescent immunochromatographic assay (ICA) for ultrasensitive and simultaneous qualification of the two viruses in biological samples. A high-performance quantum dot nanobead (QB) was fabricated by adsorption of multilayers of dense quantum dots (QDs) onto the SiO2 surface and used as the highly luminescent label of the ICA system to ensure the high-sensitivity and stability of the assay. The combination of monodispersed SiO2 core (∼180 nm) and numerous carboxylated QDs formed a hierarchical shell, which ensured that the QBs possessed excellent stability, superior fluorescence signal, and convenient surface functionalization. The developed ICA biosensor achieved simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2 and FluA in one test within 15 min, with detection limits reaching 5 pg/mL for SARS-CoV-2 antigen and 50 pfu/mL for FluA H1N1. Moreover, our method showed high accuracy and specificity in throat swab samples with two orders of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with traditional AuNP-based ICA method. Hence, the proposed method is a promising and convenient tool for detection of respiratory viruses.

Abstract
We developed a novel surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 assay platform using hollow Au nanostars to realize high‐sensitivity diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2. The assay was performed using SARS‐CoV‐2 lysate as the target in a wide dynamic range with virus concentrations ranging from 0 to 104 PFU/ml and has a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.1 PFU/ml. This LOD value shows 100 times and 10 times better sensitivity compared to the LODs measured on the same sample using a commercially available rapid kit and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Therefore, we believe that this SERS‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 assay platform has high diagnostic accuracy for early or asymptomatic infected patients with low virus concentrations. Furthermore, the probability of a false‐negative diagnosis is likely to be very low.

Abstract
We report a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay platform for the rapid diagnosis of scrub typhus and murine typhus, which are the most common acute febrile diseases in South Korea. A microarray device, composed of multiple gold nanopopcorn substrates capable of detecting ultra-sensitive biomarkers, was used as a multiplex SERS-based assay platform. Sequentially diluted titers of Orientia tsutsugamushi and Rickettsia typhi specific human IgG/IgM antibodies, which are biomarkers of two typhus diseases, were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, and the peak intensity was plotted against the different titer concentration range (0-2048 and 0-1024 for O. tsutsugamushi IgG/IgM and 0-8192 and 0-256 for R. typhi IgG/IgM) to generate calibration curves. The sensitivities and limits of detection (LODs) determined for four different IgG/IgM antibodies were significantly lower than those for the ELISA method. The LODs of titer concentrations for O. tsutsugamushi IgG/IgM and R. typhi IgG/IgM are determined to be 20.4, 7.03, 16.8 and 12.5, respectively. The LOD values were all lower than the cut-off values (256, 16, 128, and 64) used for clinical diagnosis, which means that this assay platform can diagnose two typhus diseases with high sensitivity. When the microarray sensors are combined with portable Raman spectrophotometers, which are commercially available worldwide, it is also possible to directly diagnose a patient in the field without sending their blood sample to a hospital.

Abstract
In this mini-review, we briefly describe certain recently developed applications of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for determining various biochemically (especially medically) important species from ones as simple as hydrogen cations to those as complex as specific DNA fragments. We present a SERS analysis of species whose characterization is important to our understanding of various mechanisms in the human body and to show its potential as an alternative for methods routinely used in diagnostics and clinics. Furthermore, we explain how such SERS-based sensors operate and point out future prospects in this field.

Abstract
Cytokines are signaling molecules between cells in immune system. Cytokine storm, due to the sudden acute increase in levels of pro‐inflammatory circulating cytokines, can result in disease severity and major‐organ damage. Thus, there is urgent need to develop rapid, sensitive, and specific methods for monitoring of cytokines in biology and medicine. Undoubtedly, point‐of‐care testing (POCT) will provide clinical significance in disease early diagnosis, management, and prevention. This review aims to summarize and discuss the latest technologies for detection of cytokines with a focus on POCT. The overview of diseases resulting from imbalanced cytokine levels, such as COVID‐19, sepsis and other cytokine release syndromes are presented. The clinical cut‐off levels of cytokine as biomarkers for different diseases are summarized. The challenges and perspectives on the development of cytokine POCT devices are also proposed and discussed. Cytokine POCT devices are expected to be the ongoing spotlight of disease management and prevention during COVID‐19 pandemic and also the post COVID‐19 pandemic era.

Abstract
The current scenario, an ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, places a dreadful burden on the healthcare system worldwide. Subsequently, there is a need for a rapid, user-friendly, and inexpensive on-site monitoring system for diagnosis. The early and rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 plays an important role in combating the outbreak. Although conventional methods such as PCR, RT-PCR, and ELISA, etc., offer a gold-standard solution to manage the pandemic, they cannot be implemented as a point-of-care (POC) testing arrangement. Moreover, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) having a high enhancement factor provides quantitative results with high specificity, sensitivity, and multiplex detection ability but lacks in POC setup. In contrast, POC devices such as lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) offer rapid, simple-to-use, cost-effective, reliable platform. However, LFIA has limitations in quantitative and sensitive analyses of SARS-CoV-2 detection. To resolve these concerns, herein we discuss a unique modality that is an integration of SERS with LFIA for quantitative analyses of SARS-CoV-2. The miniaturization ability of SERS-based devices makes them promising in biosensor application and has the potential to make a better alternative of conventional diagnostic methods. This review also demonstrates the commercially available and FDA/ICMR approved LFIA kits for on-site diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The diagnosis of respiratory viruses of zoonotic origin (RVsZO) such as influenza and coronaviruses in humans is crucial, because their spread and pandemic threat are the highest. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an analytical technique with promising impact for the point-of-care diagnosis of viruses. It has been applied to a variety of influenza A virus subtypes, such as the H1N1 and the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. In this work, a review of the strategies used for the detection of RVsZO by SERS is presented. In addition, relevant information about the SERS technique, anthropozoonosis, and RVsZO is provided for a better understanding of the theme. The direct identification is based on trapping the viruses within the interstices of plasmonic nanoparticles and recording the SERS signal from gene fragments or membrane proteins. Quantitative mono- and multiplexed assays have been achieved following an indirect format through a SERS-based sandwich immunoassay. Based on this review, the development of multiplex assays that incorporate the detection of RVsZO together with their specific biomarkers and/or secondary disease biomarkers resulting from the infection progress would be desirable. These configurations could be used as a double confirmation or to evaluate the health condition of the patient.
