Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique with high sensitivity, reliable specificity, and rapid recognition ability exhibits attractive promise for the effective fast-monitoring of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Herein, a novel SERS-active immunoassay kit for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein was prepared by in-situ growing gold (Au) nanowire forests (NFs) onto Ti3C2Tx, which was then modified onto polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix and encapsulated into kit. It was noted that the Au nanowires with fibrous structures which vertically anchored on Ti3C2Tx served as perfect channels to promote photo-induced charge transfer. The synergistic action of electromagnetic and chemical effects resulted in an enhancement factor (EF) of 1.27 × 107. Furthermore, the unreliable fluctuation of the enhanced signal was eliminated by using the intrinsic Raman signal of the flexible PMMA platform, achieving an improved correlation coefficient (R2) value from 0.950 to 0.990. Moreover, the as-designed immunoassay kit with both high sensitivity and remedied quantitative ability rendered by the Ti3C2Tx@Au NFs-PMMA composite exhibited a powerful performance in the practical detection of N-protein with concentration low to 5.0 × 10-8 mg/mL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To use Raman Spectroscopy for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of pharmaceutical formulations of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of Cephalexin. SIGNIFICANCE Raman Spectroscopy is a noninvasive, nondestructive, reliable and rapid detection technique used for various pharmaceutical drugs quantification. The present study explores the potential of Raman Spectroscopy for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs. METHOD For qualitative and quantitative analysis of Cephalexin API, various standard samples containing less and more concentration of API than commercial tablet was prepared. To study spectral differences, the mean plot of all the samples was prepared. For qualitative analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and for quantitative analysis Partial Least Square Regression analysis (PLSR) was used. Both of these are Multivariate data analysis techniques and give reliable results as published in previous literature. RESULTS PCA model distinguished all the Raman Spectral data related to the various Cephalexin solid dosage formulations whereas the PLSR model was used to calculate the concentration of different unknown formulations. For the PLSR model, RMSEC and RMSEP were determined to be 3.3953 and 3.8972, respectively. The prediction efficiency of this built PLSR model was found to be very good with a goodness of the model value (R2) of 0.98. The PLSR model also predicted the concentrations of Cephalexin formulations in the blind or unknown sample. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that the Raman spectroscopy coupled to PLSR analysis could be regarded as a fast and effectively reliable tool for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs.

Abstract
Melamine is one of the common limited contaminations in dairy products. The traditional detection method has a long period and complicated pretreatment process. The rapid detection method is the better method to solve the screening of limited contaminations. In this paper, taking melamine as the research object, the surface enhanced Raman spectrum of melamine in liquid milk were collected by portable Raman spectrometer, and melamine was qualitatively identified and semi-quantitatively analyzed by Raman characteristic peak and Raman intensity, and a simple and efficient rapid screening method for limited contaminations was developed. The limit of detection is 0.25 mg/kg. The probability of detection is 100% at 2.5 mg/kg, which is the same between the two laboratories, indicating that the semi-quantitative method has good repeatability. The method of melamine proposed in this study can meet the rapid screening requirements of limited contaminations at the maximum residue limit, and has a good application prospect.

Abstract
Typically, for accurate quantitative tests of molecules, considering the actual solute concentration in the environment with different water activities (Aws) is essential. Accordingly, for effective detection of food substances, this paper proposes a non-destructive pluggable sensor to capture and monitor four free purines based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering characteristics such as sensitivity, uniformity, repeatability, and stability. In particular, we investigate the impact of Aw on the evaluation of purine detection and its deviation corrections. Furthermore, the recoveries of purine from three food products, including fish (Aw: 0.99), ham (Aw: 0.91), and bacon (Aw: 0.73), are subsequently explored to validate the reliability of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed non-destructive pluggable sensor performs better when the Aw is considered. Therefore, this strategy for achieving more reliable quantitative detection by rectifying deviations based on the Aw can significantly help monitor food quality.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors have attracted much attention for their label-free detection, ultrahigh sensitivity, and unique molecular fingerprinting. In this study, a wafer-scale, ultrasensitive, highly uniform, paper-based, portable SERS detection platform featuring abundant and dense gold nanopearls with narrow gap distances, are prepared and deposited directly onto ultralow-surface-energy fluorosilane-modified cellulose fibers through simple thermal evaporation by delicately manipulating the atom diffusion behavior. The as-designed paper-based SERS substrate exhibits an extremely high Raman enhancement factor (3.9 × 1011 ), detectability at sub-femtomolar concentrations (single-molecule level) and great signal reproductivity (relative standard deviation: 3.97%), even when operated with a portable 785-nm Raman spectrometer. This system is used for fingerprinting identification of 12 diverse analytes, including clinical medicines (cefazolin, chloramphenicol, levetiracetam, nicotine), pesticides (thiram, paraquat, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos), environmental carcinogens (benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene), and illegal drugs (methamphetamine, mephedrone). The lowest detection concentrations reach the sub-ppb level, highlighted by a low of 16.2 ppq for nicotine. This system appears suitable for clinical applications in, for example, i) therapeutic drug monitoring for individualized medication adjustment and ii) ultra-early diagnosis for pesticide intoxication. Accordingly, such scalable, portable and ultrasensitive fibrous SERS substrates open up new opportunities for practical on-site detection in biofluid analysis, point-of-care diagnostics and precision medicine.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is widely explored for the elucidation of underlying mechanisms behind biological processes. However, the capability of absolute quantitation of the number of nanoparticles from the SERS response remains a challenge. Here, we show for the first time the development of a new 2D quantitation model to allow calibration of the SERS response against the absolute concentration of SERS nanotags, as characterized by single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS). A novel printing approach was adopted to prepare gelatin-based calibration standards containing the SERS nanotags, which consisted of gold nanoparticles and the Raman reporter 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene. spICP-MS was used to characterize the Au mass concentration and particle number concentration of the SERS nanotags. Results from laser ablation inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry imaging at a spatial resolution of 5 μm demonstrated a homogeneous distribution of the nanotags (between-line relative standard deviation < 14%) and a linear response of 197Au with increasing nanotag concentration (R2 = 0.99634) in the printed gelatin standards. The calibration standards were analyzed by SERS mapping, and different data processing approaches were evaluated. The reported calibration model was based on an "active-area" approach, classifying the pixels mapped as "active" or "inactive" and calibrating the SERS response against the total Au concentration and the particle number concentration, as characterized by spICP-MS. This novel calibration model demonstrates the potential for quantitative SERS imaging, with the capability of correlating the nanoparticle concentration to biological responses to further understand the underlying mechanisms of disease models.

Abstract
A new avenue has opened up for applications of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in the biomedical field, mainly due to the striking advantages offered by SERS tags. SERS tags provide indirect identification of analytes with rich and highly specific spectral fingerprint information, high sensitivity, and outstanding multiplexing potential, making them very useful in in vitro and in vivo assays. The recent and innovative advances in nanomaterial science, novel Raman reporters, and emerging bioconjugation protocols have helped develop ultra-bright SERS tags as powerful tools for multiplex SERS-based detection and diagnosis applications. Nevertheless, to translate SERS platforms to real-world problems, some challenges, especially for clinical applications, must be addressed. This review presents the current understanding of the factors influencing the quality of SERS tags and the strategies commonly employed to improve not only spectral quality but the specificity and reproducibility of the interaction of the analyte with the target ligand. It further explores some of the most common approaches which have emerged for coupling SERS with microfluidic technologies, for biomedical applications. The importance of understanding microfluidic production and characterisation to yield excellent device quality while ensuring high throughput production are emphasised and explored, after which, the challenges and approaches developed to fulfil the potential that SERS-based microfluidics have to offer are described.

Abstract
Iontophoresis technology could improve the efficiency of transdermal drug delivery through the skin and be a promising prospective tool for clinical drug therapy in the near future. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used to analyze the concentration distribution of penicillin sodium in the skin of a mice model, and the iontophoresis delivery efficiency of drug percutaneous permeation was evaluated with various times and concentrations of penicillin sodium through Raman spectra. The results showed both the action time and drug concentration for iontophoresis can deeply influence transdermal drug delivery effects, and the Raman spectrum might be an effective method to evaluate transdermal drug delivery efficiency.

Abstract
This study aims to develop a simple, sensitive, low-cost, environmentally friendly and flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform, combined with a portable Raman spectrometer, for the rapid and on-site SERS detection of bacteria. Commercial tobacco packaging paper (TPP) with little background interference was used as a loading medium that effectively adsorbed Au nanoparticles and provided sufficient “hot spots”. This Au-tobacco packaging paper (Au-TPP) substrate used as a flexible SERS platform can maximize sample collection by wiping irregular surfaces, and was successfully applied to the on-site and rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria. Raman fingerprints of pathogenic bacteria can be obtained by SERS detection of spiked pork using wipeable Au-TPP, which verifies its value in practical applications. The results collected by SERS were further verified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results. It showed several advantages in on-site SERS detection, including accurate discrimination, simple preparation, easy operation, good sensitivity, accuracy and reproducibility. This study indicates that the established flexible SERS platform has good practical applications in pathogenic bacterial identification and other rapid detections.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been recognized as a promising analytical technique for its capability of providing molecular fingerprint information and avoiding interference of water. Nevertheless, direct SERS detection of complicated samples without pretreatment to achieve the high-efficiency identification and quantitation in a multiplexed way is still a challenge. In this study, a novel spectral extraction neural network (SENN) model was proposed for synchronous SERS detection of each component in mixed solutions using a demonstration sample containing diquat dibromide (DDM), methyl viologen dichloride (MVD), and tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD). A SERS spectra dataset including 3600 spectra of DDM, MVD, TMTD, and their mixtures was first constructed to train the SENN model. After the training step, the cosine similarity of the SENN model can achieve 0.999, 0.997, and 0.994 for DDM, MVD, and TMTD, respectively, which means that the spectra extracted from the mixture are highly consistent with those collected by the SERS experiment of the corresponding pure samples. Furthermore, a convolutional neural network model for quantitative analysis is combined with the SENN, which can simultaneously and rapidly realize the qualitative and quantitative SERS analysis of mixture solutions with lower than 8.8% relative standard deviation. The result demonstrates that the proposed strategy has great potential in improving SERS analysis in environmental monitoring, food safety, and so on.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), a powerful technique for trace molecular detection, depends on chemical and electromagnetic enhancements. While recent advances in instrumentation and substrate design have expanded the utility, reproducibility, and quantitative capabilities of SERS, some challenges persist. In this review, advances in quantitative SERS detection are discussed as they relate to intermolecular interactions, surface selection rules, and target molecule solubility and accessibility. After a brief introduction to Raman scattering and SERS, impacts of surface selection rules and enhancement mechanisms are discussed as they relate to the observation of activation and deactivation of normal Raman modes in SERS. Next, experimental conditions that can be used to tune molecular affinity to and density near SERS substrates are summarized and considered while tuning these parameters are conveyed. Finally, successful examples of quantitative SERS detection are discussed, and future opportunities are outlined. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, Volume 73 is April 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly sensitive analytical detection technique that provides unique chemical and structural information on target molecules. Here, simultaneous extraction and SERS detection of nicotine for the rapid and reliable identification of nicotine released from snus products were performed based on a nano-Au assembly hierarchy structure in the capillary. Based on this strategy, the time evolution of the concentrations of nicotine released from the snus products was measured. Through comparison of the intensities of the spectral peaks of the symmetrical breathing of the pyridine moiety of nicotine molecules, with the prolongation of time, the concentration of nicotine released decreased significantly, which is helpful for establishing a method for the rapid evaluation of the processing and selection of excipients of snus products, and provides a new idea for further study of the production of snus pouches and related tobacco products. Moreover, based on data fitting, it can be calculated that the concentration of nicotine in the extraction presented an obvious quadratic relationship with time, and the release of most of the nicotine in the snus pouch, which is held through the gums and palate, was basically completed after ∼15 min. Such destruction-free simultaneous measurements of snus products are opening up new perspectives for further research about the impact of nicotinoids on smokers' health and cessation programs.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant burden since December 2019 that has negatively impacted the global economy owing to the fact that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is fast-transmitting and highly contagious. Efforts have been taken to minimize the impact through strict screening measures in country borders in order to isolate potential virus carriers. Effective fast-screening methods are thus needed to identify infected individuals. The standard diagnostic methods for screening SARS-CoV-2 virus have always been to perform nucleic acid-based and serological tests. However, with each having drawbacks on producing false results at very early or later stage after symptoms onset, supplementary techniques are needed to back up these tests. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as a detection technique has continuously advanced throughout the years in terms of sensitivity and capability to detect ultralow concentration of analytes ranging from single molecule to pathogens, to present as a highly potential alternative to known sensing methods. SERS technology as a candidate for an alternative and supplementary diagnostic method for the viral envelope of SARS-CoV-2 virus is presented, comparing its pros and cons to the standard methods and what other aspects it could offer that the other methods are not capable of. Factors that contribute to the detection effectivity of SERS is also discussed to show the advantages and limitations of this technique. Despite its promising capabilities, challenges like sources of SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variations, reliable SERS spectra, mass production of SERS-active substrates, and compliance to regulations for wide-scale testing scenario are highlighted.
