Highly sensitive plasmonic paper substrate fabricated via amphiphilic polymer self-assembly in microdroplet for detection of emerging pharmaceutical pollutants. NANO CONVERGENCE 2024; 11:13. [PMID: 38551725 PMCID: PMC10980671 DOI: 10.1186/s40580-024-00420-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024]
Abstract
We report an innovative and facile approach to fabricating an ultrasensitive plasmonic paper substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The approach exploits the self-assembling capability of poly(styrene-b-2-vinyl pyridine) block copolymers to form a thin film at the air-liquid interface within the single microdroplet scale for the first time and the subsequent in situ growth of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The concentration of the block copolymer was found to play an essential role in stabilizing the droplets during the mass transfer phase and formation of silver nanoparticles, thus influencing the SERS signals. SEM analysis of the morphology of the plasmonic paper substrates revealed the formation of spherical AgNPs evenly distributed across the surface of the formed copolymer film with a size distribution of 47.5 nm. The resultant enhancement factor was calculated to be 1.2 × 107, and the detection limit of rhodamine 6G was as low as 48.9 pM. The nanohybridized plasmonic paper was successfully applied to detect two emerging pollutants-sildenafil and flibanserin-with LODs as low as 1.48 nM and 3.45 nM, respectively. Thus, this study offers new prospects for designing an affordable and readily available, yet highly sensitive, paper-based SERS substrate with the potential for development as a lab-on-a-chip device.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1280:341872.

Abstract
A simple and flexible fabrication method of paper SERS substrate was developed by nanoparticles (NPs) droplet self-assembly at the paper tip with a temperature gradient (PTTG). We turned the drawback of the coffee ring effect into an effective way of preparing paper SERS substrate. When the NPs droplets were continuously dripped onto the PTTG, NPs were densely and uniformly distributed at the paper-tip front based on the combination of gravity and the coffee ring effect, which could achieve 91.2-fold improvement of SERS performance compared to a flat filter paper. Meanwhile, the analytes could also be enriched at the paper-tip front, which could achieve 9.3-fold signal enhancement compared to the paper-tip tail. Thus, the PTTG realized an excellent signal amplification for SERS detection. The paper-tip SERS substrate combined with a portable Raman spectrometer yielded an excellent analytical enhancement factor of 1.15 × 105 with the detection limit of 10 nM Rhodamine 6G (R6G). The whole fabrication procedure was completed within 2 h, and the paper-tip substrate showed a satisfactory substrate-to-substrate reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 5.13% (n = 10). It was successfully applied for quantitatively detecting real samples of oxytetracycline and malachite green with recoveries of 83.84-105.25% (n = 3). Meanwhile, we further evaluated the SERS performance of the PTTG using a laboratory-based Raman spectrometer, and it could realize the detection as low as 10 pM R6G. The proposed paper-tip substrate would offer a promising potential application for the on-site SERS analysis of food safety and environmental health.

Abstract
Solvent-pumped evaporation-driven concentration of an initial distribution of solutes on a porous substrate is considered in one and two dimensions. Approximate analytic solutions to the isotropic advection-dispersion equations are first found for a Gaussian kernel and an infinite domain, following the smoothed particle approximation. Analytic solutions for more general initial distributions are then found as sums of Gaussians, and comparison is made with numerical solutions. In each case, initial distributions are advected toward the stagnation point and concentrated. Two-dimensional analysis is then extended to describe anisotropy in permeability and diffusion, and hydrodynamic dispersion. Radial-flow experiments are performed using filter papers and water-soluble dyes. Diffusion coefficients, temperature and humidity profiles, and the evolution of spot distributions are measured. The results confirm minor anisotropy in permeability and diffusion, limited hydrodynamic dispersion, and largely uniform evaporation. Péclet numbers over 2500 are demonstrated. Evaporation-driven concentration provides a mechanism for solute transport over long timescales. Potential applications lie in the design of paper spray microanalytical devices operating by solvent pumping rather than capillary flow.

Abstract
Paper-based evaporation concentrators with linear and radial geometries are compared. A new method of finding approximate analytic solutions of the advection-dispersion equation is proposed, based on the behavior of concentrators with infinite sources. Analytic approximations are compared with numerical solutions, and the advantage of radial concentration is highlighted: linear concentration rates scale with the square root of the Péclet number Pe while radial rates scale with Pe itself, leading to faster radial concentration beyond a critical value. Experiments are performed with Brilliant Blue FCF dye, using optical transmission and the Beer-Lambert law for quantitation. Dye concentrations are chosen for operation in the linear absorbance regime. Radial concentration is demonstrated under ambient conditions on filter paper disks with 60 mm diameter evaporation areas fed from a perimeter source, in a reverse of the well-known "coffee stain" experiment. Airflow enhanced concentration in strips and wedges is compared directly, using laser-patterned chromatography paper. The advantage of radial concentration is confirmed (and enhanced by diversion of concentrate to the corners of strips) and concentration factors greater than ∼ 500 (the dynamic range of measurement) are obtained in ∼2 h using 30 mm long columns.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos is one of the most widely used organophosphate insecticides in agricultural production. Nevertheless, the residues of chlorpyrifos in agricultural by-product seriously threaten human health. Thus, the ultrasensitive detection of chlorpyrifos residues in agri-food products is of great demand. Herein, an AuNP/HNT-assembled disposable paper SERS substrate was prepared by an electrostatic self-assembly method to detect chlorpyrifos residues. The AuNP/HNT paper substrate exhibited high SERS activity, good reproducibility, and long-term stability, which was successfully used for quantitative detection of chlorpyrifos; the detection limit reached 7.9 × 10-9 M. For spiked apple samples the calculated recovery was 87.9% with a RSD value of 6.1%. The excellent detection ability of AuNP/HNT paper-based SERS substrate indicated that it will play an important role in pesticide detection in the future. AuNP/HNT assembled disposable paper SERS substrate was prepared by an electrostatic self-assembly method to detect chlorpyrifos residues in fruits.

Abstract
Wearable sweat sensors have the potential to provide clinically meaningful information associated with the health and disease states of individuals. Current sensors mainly rely on enzymes and antibodies as biorecognition elements to achieve specific quantification of metabolite and stress biomarkers in sweat. However, enzymes and antibodies are prone to degrade over time, compromising the sensor performance. Here, we introduce a wearable plasmonic paper-based microfluidic system for continuous and simultaneous quantitative analysis of sweat loss, sweat rate, and metabolites in sweat. Plasmonic sensors based on label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can provide chemical "fingerprint" information for analyte identification. We demonstrate the sensitive detection and quantification of uric acid in sweat at physiological and pathological concentrations. The well-defined flow characteristics of paper microfluidic devices enable accurate quantification of sweat loss and sweat rate. The wearable plasmonic device is soft, flexible, and stretchable, which can robustly interface with the skin without inducing chemical or physical irritation.

Abstract
Human health and performance monitoring (HHPM) is imperative to provide information necessary for protecting, sustaining, evaluating, and improving personnel in various occupational sectors, such as industry, academy, sports, recreation, and military. While various commercially wearable sensors are on the market with their capability of "quantitative assessments" on human health, physical, and psychological states, their sensing is mostly based on physical traits, and thus lacks precision in HHPM. Minimally or noninvasive biomarkers detectable from the human body, such as body fluid (e.g., sweat, tear, urine, and interstitial fluid), exhaled breath, and skin surface, can provide abundant additional information to the HHPM. Detecting these biomarkers with novel or existing sensor technologies is emerging as critical human monitoring research. This review provides a broad perspective on the state of the art biosensor technologies for HHPM, including the list of biomarkers and their physiochemical/physical characteristics, fundamental sensing principles, and high-performance sensing transducers. Further, this paper expands to the additional scope on the key technical challenges in applying the current HHPM system to the real field.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs), including lateral flow assays (LFAs), dipstick assays and microfluidic PADs (μPADs), have a great impact on the healthcare realm and environmental monitoring. This is especially evident in developing countries because PADs-based point-of-care testing (POCT) enables to rapidly determine various (bio)chemical analytes in a miniaturized, cost-effective and user-friendly manner. Low sensitivity and poor specificity are the main bottlenecks associated with PADs, which limit the entry of PADs into the real-life applications. The application of nanomaterials in PADs is showing great improvement in their detection performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy since the nanomaterials have unique physicochemical properties. In this review, the research progress on the nanomaterial-based PADs is summarized by highlighting representative recent publications. We mainly focus on the detection principles, the sensing mechanisms of how they work and applications in disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety management. In addition, the limitations and challenges associated with the development of nanomaterial-based PADs are discussed, and further directions in this research field are proposed.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have attracted much attention over the past decade. They embody many advantages, such as abundance, portability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of fabrication, making them superior for clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety assurance. Despite these advantages, μPADs lack the high sensitivity to detect many analytes at trace levels than other commercial analytical instruments such as mass spectrometry. Therefore, a preconcentration step is required to enhance their sensitivity. This review focuses on the techniques used to separate and preconcentrate the analytes onto the μPADs, such as ion concentration polarization, isotachophoresis, and field amplification sample stacking. Other separations and preconcentration techniques, including liquid-solid and liquid-liquid extractions coupled with μPADs, are also reviewed and discussed. In addition, the fabrication methods, advantages, disadvantages, and the performance evaluation of the μPADs concerning their precision and accuracy were highlighted and critically assessed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives have been discussed.

Abstract
Evaporation, pervaporation, and forward osmosis are processes leading to a mass transfer of solvent across an interface: gas/liquid for evaporation and solid/liquid (membrane) for pervaporation and osmosis. This Review provides comprehensive insight into the use of these processes at the microfluidic scales for applications ranging from passive pumping to the screening of phase diagrams and micromaterials engineering. Indeed, for a fixed interface relative to the microfluidic chip, these processes passively induce flows driven only by gradients of chemical potential. As a consequence, these passive-transport phenomena lead to an accumulation of solutes that cannot cross the interface and thus concentrate solutions in the microfluidic chip up to high concentration regimes, possibly up to solidification. The purpose of this Review is to provide a unified description of these processes and associated microfluidic applications to highlight the differences and similarities between these three passive-transport phenomena.

Abstract
The present work reports on the assessment of luminescent probes derived from citric acid (CA) and β-aminothiols (namely, l-cysteine (Cys) and cysteamine) for instrumental and smartphone-based fluorimetric sensing purposes. Remarkably, the evaluated luminescent probes derived from natural compounds showed pH-dependent dual excitation/dual emission features. Both fluorophores hold promise for the ratiometric fluorimetric sensing of pH, being especially convenient for the smartphone-based sensing of pH via ratiometric analysis by proper selection of B and G color channels. Time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations allowed to substantiate the pH dependent structure-property relationship and to unveil the critical role of the CA derived carboxyl group, these findings contributing to the fundamental knowledge on these systems for the rational design of new fluorophores and in establishing fluorescence sensing mechanisms of CA-derived systems. Besides, paper-based devices modified with CA-Cys were implemented in a three-phase separation approach for sensitive and selective ammonia sensing, yielding a remarkable enrichment factor of 389 and a limit of detection of 37 μM under optimal conditions. The proposed approach was successfully applied to the determination of ammonia nitrogen and extractable ammonium in water samples and marine sediments, respectively.

Abstract
We have studied the chromatographic separation of solvents and dyes after deposition of a dye solution on a paper substrate. Due to their larger molecular size, dyes typically exhibit a stronger interaction with the paper constituents. Consequently, the imbibition process of the dye is usually delayed compared to that of the solvent. This impacts the achievable resolution and color homogeneity in inkjet printing. We present experiments and a comprehensive numerical model to illustrate and quantify these effects. The model accounts for the solvent evaporation, heat transfer, multicomponent unsaturated flow, and dye adsorption, as well as the presence of permeable fibers in the paper substrate. We identify the key parameters that can be tuned to optimize the pattern fidelity of the printing process.

Abstract
Owing to the high sensitivity, fast responsiveness and high specificity, immunoassays using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as the readout signal displayed great potential in disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a SERS-immunoassay method for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (HIgG). Upon involving well-ordered AuA on a SERSIA substrate, the LSPR effect was further enhanced to generate a strong and uniform Raman signal through the formation of sandwich structure with the addition of target HIgG and SERSIA tag. Optimization of the assay provided a wide linear range (0.1–200 μg mL−1) and low limit of detection (0.1 μg mL−1). In addition, the SERS-immunoassay method displayed excellent specificity and was homogeneous, which guaranteed the practical use of this method in the quantitative detection of HIgG. To validate this assay, human serum was analysed, which demonstrated the potential advantages of SERS-immunoassay technology in clinical diagnostics. An AuNP array coated substrate was developed for the SERS-immunoassay detection of human immunoglobulin G.![]()

Paper-based plasmonic substrates as surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy platforms for cell culture applications. Mater Today Bio 2021; 11:100125. [PMID: 34485892 PMCID: PMC8397899 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2021.100125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The engineering of advanced materials capable of mimicking the cellular micro-environment while providing cells with physicochemical cues is central for cell culture applications. In this regard, paper meets key requirements in terms of biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, porosity, mechanical strength, ease of physicochemical modifications, cost, and ease of large-scale production, to be used as a scaffold material for biomedical applications. Most notably, paper has demonstrated the potential to become an attractive alternative to conventional biomaterials for creating two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) biomimetic cell culture models that mimic the features of in vivo tissue environments for improving our understanding of cell behavior (e.g. growth, cell migration, proliferation, differentiation and tumor metastasis) in their natural state. On the other hand, integration of plasmonic nanomaterials (e.g. gold nanoparticles) within the fibrous structure of paper opens the possibility to generate multifunctional scaffolds equipped with biosensing tools for monitoring different cell cues through physicochemical signals. Among different plasmonic based detection techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy emerged as a highly specific and sensitive optical tool for its extraordinary sensitivity and the ability for multidimensional and accurate molecular identification. Thus, paper-based plasmonic substrates in combination with SERS optical detection represent a powerful future platform for monitoring cell cues during cell culture processes. To this end, in this review, we will describe the different methods for fabricating hybrid paper-plasmonic nanoparticle substrates and their use in combination with SERS spectroscopy for biosensing and, more specifically, in cell culture applications.

Abstract
Drug detection in biofluids has always been great importance for clinical diagnosis. Many detection technologies such as chromatography-mass spectrometry, have been applied to the detection of drugs. However, these technologies required multi-step operations, including complicated and time-consuming pretreatment processes and operations of bulky detection instruments, significantly limiting development of drug detection in clinical diagnosis. Herein, a portable 3D-printed paper cartridge was fabricated for fast sample preconcentration and direct drugs quantitative detection in biofluids by a portable Raman spectrometer. This cartridge contained both paper tip with silver nanowires to preconcentrate samples and achieve surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) measurement, and 3D-printed cartridge to build enclosed environment for the improvement of detection, which cost only one dollar. The preconcentration ability of the cartridge was up to 18.13-fold fluorescence enhancement and compared to the non-preconcentration method, it achieved 9.93-fold improvement of SERS performance. The anticancer drug of epirubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide and their mixtures were quantitatively detected in the bovine serum or artificial urine. The integrated detection procedure required only 1 h, including sample pretreatment and preconcentration, drying, SERS measurements, and quantification analysis. This 3D-printed paper cartridge constituted a portable detection platform that would be potentially a practical and point-of-care detection tool for drug preconcentration and quantification on the clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
This review summarizes the state of the art of paper-based biosensors (PBBs) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) detection. Three categories of PBB are currently being been used for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diagnostics, namely for viral gene, viral antigen and antibody detection. The characteristics, the analytical performance, the advantages and drawbacks of each type of biosensor are highlighted and compared with traditional methods. It is hoped that this review will be useful for scientists for the development of novel PBB platforms with enhanced performance for helping to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, by allowing early diagnosis at the point of care (POC).

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique for sensitive analysis which is attracting great attention in the last decades. In this review, different gold nanostructures that have been exploited for SERS analysis are described, ranging from gold nanospheres to anisotropic and complex-shaped gold nanostructures, in which the presence of high aspect ratio features leads to an increment of the electromagnetic field at the surface of the nanomaterial, resulting in enhanced SERS response. In addition to the shape of the nanostructure, the interparticle nanogaps play a prominent role in the SERS efficiency. In this sense, different approaches such as nanoaggregation and formation of assemblies and ordered structures lead to the creation of the so-called hot spots. SERS measurements may be performed in solution, while usually the nanostructures are deposited building a SERS substrate, which can be created via attachment of chemically prepared gold nanostructures, as well as via top-down physical methods. Among the classical supports for creating the SERS substrates, in the last years there is a trend towards the development of flexible supports based on polymers as well as paper. Finally, some recent applications of gold nanostructures-based SERS substrates within the analytical field are discussed to spotlight the potential of this technique in real-world analytical scenarios.

Abstract
Here, we present the rational design of a pinwheel-shaped three-dimensional microfluidic paper-based analytical device (3D-μPAD) for specific, sensitive and multiplexed detection of heavy metals in coastal waters. A more homogeneous permeation of fluids along the chip than common design, even under unskilled performance, has been achieved by the elaborate chip design of the hydrostatic balancing inlet port and uniformly stressed reversible sealing. With the combination of ion imprinted polymer grafted CdTe quantum-dots and fluid accumulation pad, 4 metals (Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Hg2+) in 1 analysis and 25-fold enrichment for each metal can be simultaneously performed within 20 min, with detection limits of 0.007-0.015 μg/L. It has the ability to selectively recognize these 4 metals in mixtures and immunizing to interferences from components found in coastal waters, which provided results that were in agreement with values gained from atomic absorption. The inexpensive and portable nature as well as the highly sensitive and flexible performance of the new developed 3D-μPAD could make it attractive as an on-site testing approach for marine environmental monitoring.

Abstract
A low-cost and portable paper-based analytical device has been developed for high throughput and on-site monitoring TC residue in milk through visualized colorimetric reaction. The filtration and concentration effect induced by the porous nature of paper contribute to strengthen the color intensity, leading to quantitative and sensitive detection of tetracycline reaching 1 ppm detection limit, with the linear range of 1-100 ppm both in water and milk samples. The applicability was demonstrated by detection of TC in 18 different types of real milk samples with good recovery ranging from 88% to 113%. Furthermore, the dynamic degradation behavior of tetracycline was monitored through the device. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of colorimetric detection of tetracycline in milk using the paper-based device. This simple, fast, cost-effective (~$0.50 per device) and equipment-free paper-based platform provides a promising tool for future application in food and environmental safety.

Abstract
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a powerful technique for monitoring illicit drugs of abuse in the community. Here, we report upon a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor for the sensitive and selective detection of methamphetamine based upon the assembly of noble metal core-shell nanoparticles on a bespoke glassy nanofibrous electrospun paper matrix. The hierarchical structure of the fibrous paper, modified with the synthesized Au@Ag core-shells (Au@Ag) gave strong SERS signalling, enabling us to evaluate the community-wide prevalence of methamphetamine in wastewater treatment plants within Beijing. We show that, when normalized for the daily flow of the wastewater treatment plants and for population density, higher mass loads of drugs are generally found in sewage influent from urban areas, implying greater local methamphetamine usage than that in less populated areas. The user-friendly and disposable paper sensors demonstrate the applicability of rapid on-site illicit drug detection, illustrating the application to wastewater-based epidemiology, which has the potential to inform government agencies regarding societal interventions.

Abstract
A paper-based method for heating preconcentration (PAD-HP) has been developed for the determination of Pb2+, Cd2+, Fe3+, and Ni2+. The design of our heating system was evaluated for dual quantification of ions using electrochemical and colorimetric methods simultaneously. The PAD-HP was used to detect Pb2+ and Cd2+ by anodic stripping voltammetry and to detect Fe3+ and Ni2+ by colorimetric reactions. Assay conditions were optimized by evaluating performance when changing the concentration of the colorimetric reagent, eluent volume, electrolyte concentration, and electrochemical parameters. Limits of detection (LOD) were determined to be 0.97 and 2.33 μg L-1 for Pb2+ and Cd2+ (via voltammetry) and 0.03 and 0.04 mg L-1 for Fe3+ and Ni2+ (via colorimetric assay), respectively. The relative standard deviations for assays were in the range of 5.76 to 10.12%. We observed that the PAD-HP method significantly enhanced the signal of all metals ions (14-100-fold, depending on the metal) in comparison to paper-based devices that did not use a heating preconcentration system. This PAD-HP method was successfully applied to the determination of metals ions in samples of drinking water, tap water, pond water, and wastewater. These results suggest that our approach can provide a convenient strategy to monitor aqueous samples for heavy metals with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Abstract
A novel, low-cost, and portable paper strip biosensor was developed for the detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Escherichia coli/pMTLacZ containing the tetracycline-mediated regulatory gene used as recognition elements with β-galactosidase as the reporter protein was designed and applied to cheap and portable Whatman filter paper as the carrier to prepare this paper strip biosensor. The detection process was optimized by using EDTA and polymyxin B as a sensitizer to improve the accuracy of detection for complicated matrices. The paper strip biosensor was suitable for tetracycline concentrations in the range of 75-10000 μg/L in water and 75-7500 μg/L in soil extracts. Detection limits of 5.23-17.1 μg/L for water and 5.21-35.3 μg/kg for the EDTA soil extracts were achieved at a response time of 90 min. The standard deviation (SD) of detected values by the biosensor paper strip compared to those determined by HPLC was between 13.4 and 59.6% for tetracycline and 2.01-33.5% for oxytetracycline in water and was between 6.22 and 72.8% for tetracycline and 5.90-43.4% for oxytetracycline in soil. This suggests that the paper strip biosensor was suitable for detecting both tetracycline and oxytetracycline in water, and could provide a suitable detection for extractable oxytetracycline in soils. Therefore, this biosensor provides a simple, economical, and portable piece of field kit for on-site monitoring of tetracyclines in a variety of environmental samples, such as pond water and agricultural soil that are susceptible to tetracycline pollution from feed additives and fertilization with livestock manure.

Abstract
Antimicrobial stewardship practices are critical in preventing the further erosion of treatment options for bacterial infections. Yet, at the same time, determination of an infection's antimicrobial susceptibility requires multiple rounds of culture and expensive lab automation systems. In this work, we report the use of paper-based surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors and portable instrumentation to phenotypically discriminate multi-drug resistance with fewer culture steps than conventional clinical microbiology. Specifically, we demonstrate the identification of resistance to varying generations of β-lactam antibiotics by detecting the activity of particular β-lactamase enzymes in a multiplexed assay. The method utilizes molecular reporters that consist of β-lactams with SERS barcodes. Hydrolysis of the β-lactam by β-lactamase enzymes in the sample expels the barcode; the released sulfur-containing barcode is then detected via SERS. Using this approach, we demonstrate the differentiation of E. coli strains with (1) extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), (2) narrow-spectrum β-lactamase, and (3) no resistance, using only a single measurement on a single sample. In addition, we experimentally validate an approach to expand the library of reporters through the simple chemical synthesis of new barcoded β-lactams. Importantly, the reported method determines the susceptibility based on phenotypic β-lactamase activity, which is aligned with current microbiology lab standards. This new method will enable the precise selection of effective β-lactam antibiotics (as opposed to defaulting to drugs of last resort) faster than current methods while using simple steps and low-cost portable instrumentation.

Abstract
Enriching and locating target analytes into specific "hot spots" are vital for ultrasensitive molecular identification and detection using plasmonic-based techniques. Inspired by mass transportation in lamp wicks, we develop an effective enrichment strategy for highly diluted analytes in which analytes and Au nanoparticles are transported via a solution microflow under the capillarity driving force of glass fiber papers to a heated region. After evaporation, a large volume of a solution containing analytes and Au nanoparticles is condensed into a very limited area, and thus, analyte molecules are effectively enriched and located into surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) hot spots. Using this enrichment strategy, the sensitivity and detection limits of SERS are remarkably improved. Detection levels of crystal violet and anthracene are down to 10-16 and 10-10 M, respectively. This enrichment strategy is very robust and easy to implement, and it can potentially be exploited in various plasmonic-based molecular detection and identification techniques.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 225:117484.

Abstract
The interaction of plasmonic nanoparticles with a dielectric platform gives rise to unique optical behaviors and this can be maneuvered to improve the plasmonic/SERS performances of a substrate. Herein, dielectric modified plasmonic-paper SERS substrate is developed by assembling Ag@SiO2 nanocubes on Fe-TiO2 nanosheets (NS) modified paper. The Fe-TiO2 NS being visible light responsive significantly alters the optical property of the paper and serves as a dielectric underlay for the Ag nanocubes. Hence, the incident light reflected back from the dielectric nanosheets couples with the scattered light from the Ag nanocubes leading to spatially enhanced electromagnetic field improving the SERS enhancement. The prepared dielectric modified plasmonic-paper has an average enhancement factor (EF) of 1.49 × 107 using R6G as a probe molecule. This value is superior to unmodified plasmonic-paper highlighting the coupling effect of the dielectric nanosheets. The substrate shows robust detection performance for thiabendazole and achieves a limit of detection (LOD) of 19 μg/L, which is 4-fold more sensitive than unmodified plasmonic paper. Direct swabbing test of thiabendazole sprayed apple fruit shows a discernible Raman signal down to 15 ppb indicating the utility of the substrate for point-of-need applications in food safety.

Abstract
Paper-based sensors offer an affordable yet powerful platform for field and point-of-care (POC) testing due to their self-pumping ability and utility for many different analytical measurements. When combined with electrochemical detection using small and portable electronics, sensitivity and selectivity of the paper devices can be improved over naked eye detection without sacrificing portability. Herein, we review how the field of electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs) has grown since it was introduced a decade ago. We start by reviewing fabrication methods relevant to ePADs with more focus given to the electrode fabrication, which is fundamental for electrochemical sensing. Multiple sensing approaches applicable to ePADs are then discussed and evaluated to present applicability, advantages and challenges associated with each approach. Recent applications of ePADs in the fields of clinical diagnostics, environmental testing, and food analysis are also presented. Finally, we discuss how the current ePAD technologies have progressed to meet the analytical and practical specifications required for field and/or POC applications, as well as challenges and outlook.

Abstract
Lactoferrin is an abundant glycoprotein in human body fluids and is known as a biomarker for various diseases. Therefore, point-of-care testing (POCT) for lactoferrin is of interest. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have gained a lot of attention as next-generation POCT device candidates, due to their inexpensiveness, operational simplicity, and being safely disposable. This work presents a colorimetric sensing approach for quantitative lactoferrin analysis. The detection mechanism takes advantage of the high affinity of lactoferrin to ferric ions (Fe3+). Lactoferrin is able to displace an indicator from a colorimetric 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP)-Fe3+ complex, resulting in a color change. A 5-Br-PADAP-Fe3+ complex was encapsulated into water-dispersible poly(styrene- block-vinylpyrrolidone) particles, whose physical entrapment in the cellulosic fiber network results in the immobilization of the complex to the paper matrix. The complex-encapsulating particles showed a color change response in accordance with lactoferrin concentration. Both color intensity-based paper well plates and distance readout-based µPADs are demonstrated. Color intensity-based devices allowed quantitative analysis of lactoferrin concentrations with a limit of detection of 110 µg/mL, using a smartphone and a color readout app. On the other hand, distance readout-based µPADs showed changes of the length of colored sections in accordance with lactoferrin concentration. In summary, we successfully developed both colorimetric intensity-based paper wells and distance-based µPADs for lactoferrin detection. This work demonstrates a user-friendly colorimetric analysis platform for lactoferrin without requiring lab equipment and expensive antibodies.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has poor survival prognosis because it is asymptomatic at an early, more curative stage. Recently, urine perilipin-2 (PLIN-2) was demonstrated to be a sensitive and specific biomarker for the noninvasive, early detection of RCC and an indispensable indicator to distinguish cancer from a benign renal mass. However, current Western blot or ELISA PLIN-2 assays are complicated, expensive, time-consuming or insensitive, making them unsuitable for routine analysis in clinical settings. Here we developed a plasmonic biosensor based on the high refractive index sensitivity of gold nanorattles for the rapid detection of PLIN-2 in patient urine. The paper-based plasmonic assay is highly sensitive and has a dynamic range of 50 pg/ml to 5 μg/ml PLIN-2. The assay is not compromised by variations in urine pH or high concentrations of interfering proteins such as albumin and hemoglobin, making it an excellent candidate for routine clinical applications. The urine PLIN-2 assay readily distinguished patients with pathologically proven clear cell carcinomas of various size, stage and grade (55.9 [39.5, 75.8] ng/ml, median [1st and 3rd quartile]) from age-matched controls (0.3 [0.3, 0.5] ng/ml), patients with bladder cancer (0.5 [0.4, 0.6] ng/ml) and patients with diabetic nephropathy (0.6 [0.4, 0.7] ng/ml). Urine PLIN-2 concentrations were roughly proportional to tumor size (Pearson coefficient 0.59). Thus, this cost-effective and label-free method represents a novel approach to conduct a non-invasive population screen or rapid differential diagnosis of imaged renal masses, significantly facilitating the early detection and diagnosis of RCC.

Abstract
Minimally invasive devices to detect molecules in dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) are desirable for point-of-care diagnostic and monitoring applications. In this study, we developed a microneedle (MN) patch that collects ISF for on-patch biomarker analysis by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The micrometer-scale MNs create micropores in the skin surface, through which microliter quantities of ISF are collected onto plasmonic paper on the patch backing. The plasmonic paper was prepared by immobilizing poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) coated gold nanorods (AuNRs) on a thin strip of filter paper using plasmonic calligraphy. Negatively charged PSS was used to bind positively charged rhodamine 6G (R6G), which served as a model compound, and thereby localize R6G on AuNR surface. R6G bound on the AuNR surface was detected and quantified by acquiring SERS spectra from the plasmonic paper MN patch. This approach was used to measure pharmacokinetic profiles of R6G in ISF and serum from rats in vivo. This proof-of-concept study indicates that a plasmonic paper MN patch has the potential to enable on-patch measurement of molecules in ISF for research and future medical applications.

Abstract
A novel hydrophobic-SERS substrate platform based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) functionalized commercially available filter paper was reported. Compared with conventional substrates, not only could this novel SERS substrate meet the requirements of simple and large-scale preparation, but also realized direct droplet-detection with reusable property. In this work, the fabrication, physical characterization, and SERS sensitivity of the substrates to spot-on food determination were studied. The experimental results show the method exhibited high reproducibility with less than 9% spot-to-spot variation in Raman intensity. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to detect melamine in diluted milk with the instrument detection limit (IDL) down to 1 ppm in a linear correlation (1 ppm-1000 ppm). In addition, this SERS substrate could also be applied successfully in other fields, such as the determination of pesticide (thiram) and dye (malachite green) in real environment.

Abstract
For decades surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been intensely investigated as a possible solution for performing analytical chemistry at the point of sample origin. Unfortunately, due to cost and usability constraints, conventional rigid SERS sensors and microfluidic SERS sensors have yet to make a significant impact outside of the realm of academics. However, the recently introduced flexible and porous paper-based SERS sensors are proving to be widely adaptable to realistic usage cases in the field. In contrast to rigid and microfluidic SERS sensors, paper SERS sensors feature (i) the potential for roll-to-roll manufacturing methods that enable low sensor cost, (ii) simple sample collection directly onto the sensor via swabbing or dipping, and (iii) equipment-free separations for sample cleanup. In this review we argue that movement to paper-based SERS sensors will finally enable point-of-sample analytical chemistry applications. In addition, we present and compare the numerous fabrication techniques for paper SERS sensors and we describe various sample collection and sample clean-up capabilities of paper SERS sensors, with a focus on how these features enable practical applications in the field. Finally, we present our expectations for the future, including emerging ideas inspired by paper SERS.

Abstract
Clean cabbagelike (111) faceted silver crystals were synthesized via a facile galvanic replacement reaction of [Ag(NH3)2]OH and a commercial aluminum foil, a surfactant-free formation process. The cabbagelike silver crystals consisted of interconnected nanoplates and exhibited a single-crystal structure along with preferential (111) facet oriented growth. These silver crystals showed high and reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity due to electromagnetic mechanism, and they could be easily transferred onto other rigid or flexible surfaces, making their SERS applications more versatile. Since Ag (111) with low surface energy could preferentially adsorb papaverine molecules, which was verified by molecular dynamics simulation, the cabbagelike silver crystals were further employed as a promising SERS assay for efficient sensing of papaverine, a nonnarcotic alkaloid. A linear range of 0.1-1000 μM was achieved, along with a detection limit of 10 nM and good selectivity relative to other excitability drugs. This SERS assay has successfully been used to determine the concentration of papaverine in hot pot seasonings and drugs with satisfactory recoveries and relative standard deviations.

Abstract
A series of nanocomposites based on polyamide (NL16, PA) filter membranes containing metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared by filtration under reduced pressure of the metal colloids. The ensuing materials were then investigated as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging studies envisaging the spectroscopic detection of vestigial organic pollutants dissolved in contaminated water. The organic dye crystal violet (CV) was used here as a model pollutant because it is a hazardous compound present in certain effluent waters. Moreover this compound is well-known for its strong SERS activity, which is clearly advantageous in the context of material development for SERS. Indeed, several preparative strategies were employed to prepare PA-based composites, and the impact on SERS detection was investigated. These include the use of chemical and morphological distinct plasmonic NPs (Ag, Au), a variable metal load and changing the order of addition of the analytical specimens. These studies demonstrate that the parameters employed in the fabrication of the SERS substrates have a strong impact on the Raman signal enhancement. The use of Raman imaging during the fabrication process allows establishing improvements that translate to better performances of the substrates in the analyte detection. The results have been interpreted by considering an integrated set of operational parameters that include the affinity of CV molecules to the substrate, amount and dispersion of NPs in the PA membranes, and the detection method. Noteworthy the use of SERS analysis assisted with Raman imaging allowed achieving a detection limit for CV as low as 100 aM in ultrapure water and 10 fM in real samples.

Abstract
The development of paper-based SERS substrates that can allow multi-component detection in real-word scenarios is of great value for applications in molecule detection under complex conditions. Here, a multifunctional SERS-based paper sensing substrate has been developed through the uniform patterning of high-density arrays of GO-isolated Ag nanoparticles on the hydrophilic porous cellulose paper strip (GO@AgNP@paper). Wet-chemical synthesis was used to provide the cover of SERS hot spots on any part of the paper, not just limited surface deposition. In virtue of the inherent ability of paper to deliver analytes by the capillary force, the detection ability of the GO@AgNP@paper substrate was greatly promoted, allowing as low as 10-19M R6G detection from microliter-volume (50 μL) samples. For the components with different polarity, the paper substrate can be used as an all-in-one machine to achieve the integration of separation and high-sensitive detection for ultralow mixture components, which improves the practical application value of SERS-based paper devices.

Abstract
The transport efficiency during capillary flow-driven sample transport on microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) made from filter paper has been investigated for a selection of model analytes (Ni2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, PO43-, bovine serum albumin, sulforhodamine B, amaranth) representing metal cations, complex anions, proteins and anionic molecules. For the first time, the transport of the analytical target compounds rather than the sample liquid, has been quantitatively evaluated by means of colorimetry and absorption spectrometry-based methods. The experiments have revealed that small paperfluidic channel dimensions, additional user operation steps (e.g. control of sample volume, sample dilution, washing step) as well as the introduction of sample liquid wicking areas allow to increase analyte transport efficiency. It is also shown that the interaction of analytes with the negatively charged cellulosic paper substrate surface is strongly influenced by the physico-chemical properties of the model analyte and can in some cases (Cu2+) result in nearly complete analyte depletion during sample transport. The quantitative information gained through these experiments is expected to contribute to the development of more sensitive μPADs.
