SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 320:124627. [PMID: 38880073 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
The SERS spectra of six bacterial biomarkers, 2,3-DHBA, 2,5-DHBA, Pyocyanin, lipoteichoic acid (LTA), Enterobactin, and β-carotene, of various concentrations, were obtained from silver nanorod array substrates, and the spectral peaks and the corresponding vibrational modes were identified to classify different spectra. The spectral variations in three different concentration regions due to various reasons have imposed a challenge to use classic calibration curve methods to quantify the concentration of biomarkers. Depending on baseline removal strategy, i.e., local or global baseline removal, the calibration curve differed significantly. With the aid of convolutional neural network (CNN), a two-step process was established to classify and quantify biomarker solutions based on SERS spectra: using a specific CNN model, a remarkable differentiation and classification accuracy of 99.99 % for all six biomarkers regardless of the concentration can be achieved. After classification, six regression CNN models were established to predict the concentration of biomarkers, with coefficient of determination R2 > 0.97 and mean absolute error (MAE) < 0.27. The feature of important calculations indicates the high classification and quantification accuracies were due to the intrinsic spectral features in SERS spectra. This study showcases the synergistic potential of SERS and advanced machine learning algorithms and holds significant promise for bacterial infection diagnostics.

Abstract
The rapid proliferation and infection of bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant bacteria, have become a great threat to global public health. Focusing on the emergence of "super drug-resistant bacteria" caused by the abuse of antibiotics and the insufficient and delayed early diagnosis of bacterial diseases, it is of great research significance to develop new technologies and methods for early targeted detection and treatment of bacterial infection. The exceptional effects of metal nanoparticles based on their unique physical and chemical properties make such systems ideal for the detection and treatment of bacterial infection both in vitro and in vivo. Metal nanoparticles also have admirable clinical application prospects due to their broad antibacterial spectrum, various antibacterial mechanisms and excellent biocompatibility. Herein, we summarized the research progress concerning the mechanism of metal nanoparticles in terms of antibacterial activity together with the detection of bacterial. Representative achievements are selected to illustrate the proof-of-concept in vitro and in vivo applications. Based on these observations, we also give a brief discussion on the current problems and perspective outlook of metal nanoparticles in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infection.

Abstract
The development of a highly sensitive, synthetically simple and economical SERS substrate is technically very important. A fast, economical, sensitive and reproducible CuNPs@AgNPs@ Porous silicon Bragg reflector (PSB) SERS substrate was prepared by electrochemical etching and in situ reduction method. The developed CuNPs@AgNPs@PSB has a large specific surface area and abundant "hot spot" region, which makes the SERS performance excellent. Meanwhile, the successful synthesis of CuNPs@AgNPs can not only modulate the plasmon resonance properties of nanoparticles, but also effectively prolong the time stability of Cu nanoparticles. The basic performance of the substrate was evaluated using rhodamine 6G (R6G). (Detection limit reached 10-15 M, R2 = 0.9882, RSD = 5.3 %) The detection limit of Forchlorfenuron was 10 μg/L. The standard curve with a regression coefficient of 0.979 was established in the low concentration range of 10 μg/L -100 μg/L. This indicates that the prepared substrates can accomplish the detection of pesticide residues in the low concentration range. The prepared high-performance and high-sensitivity SERS substrate have a very promising application in detection technology.

Abstract
A multifunctional Ag/AlOOH nanowires (ANW) composite substrate was constructed, which not only accomplishes highly sensitive detection of organic dye molecules, but also has excellent performance in the degradation of pollutants. The ANW in the Ag/ANW substrate possesses a high aspect ratio, which extends the distribution area of Ag and enables a large number of hot spots on the active substrate. Additionally, due to the abundant OH groups on the ANW, there is an increased number of anchor sites for adsorbed metal ions in the Ag/ANW compound, thus contributing to the enhancement and degradation of molecules. Moreover, the constructed multifunctional Ag/ANW nanocomplexes also show great promise for practical applications, providing a reference for the detection and degradation of contaminants.

Abstract
A sandwich plasmonic coupled surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) tape is proposed prepared by peeling the chemical printed silver nanocorals (AgNCs) from Cu sheet with adhesive tape, which can sample targets from food surface and sandwich them between substrates and Cu sheet for SERS detection. The solid-to-solid transformation method for fabricating SERS tapes can effectively avoid the weakening of tape stickiness during the preparation process. The sandwich plasmonic coupled structure of AgNC substrate, targets, and Cu sheet display excellent SERS activity (EF = 1.62 × 107) for sensitive determination of analytes. In addition, due to the high heat conductivity of Cu sheet, the thermal effect of laser irradiation during SERS detection cannot damage the AgNC tapes, which ensures the reproducibility of subsequent quantification. The sandwich plasmonic coupled SERS tape is demonstrated to quantify malachite green (MG) and methyl parathion (MP) with good linear coefficients (> 0.98) by two typical calibration plots under different concentration ranges. The limit of detection (LOD) of the method is 0.17 ng/cm2 and 0.48 μg/cm2 (S/N = 3) for MG and MP. This method can realize the quantitative determination of MP and MG on the surface of fruits and fish scale with recoveries of 93-113%. The satisfactory detection results demonstrate the proposed sandwich plasmonic coupled AgNC tape can be successfully applied to SERS-based point-of-care testing (POCT) for pesticide residue determination, which will provide a new path for designing and constructing SERS tapes.

Abstract
Recently, there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications focusing on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), primarily driven by advancements in nanotechnology and the increasing demand for chemical and biological detection. While many of these publications have focused on the development of new substrates and detection-based applications, there is a noticeable lack of attention given to various practical issues related to SERS measurements and detection. This review aims to fill this gap by utilizing silver nanorod (AgNR) SERS substrates fabricated through the oblique angle deposition method as an illustrative example. The review highlights and addresses a range of practical issues associated with SERS measurements and detection. These include the optimization of SERS substrates in terms of morphology and structural design, considerations for measurement configurations such as polarization and the incident angle of the excitation laser, and exploration of enhancement mechanisms encompassing both intrinsic properties induced by the structure and materials, as well as extrinsic factors arising from wetting/dewetting phenomena and analyte size. The manufacturing and storage aspects of SERS substrates, including scalable fabrication techniques, contamination control, cleaning procedures, and appropriate storage methods, are also discussed. Furthermore, the review delves into device design considerations, such as well arrays, flow cells, and fiber probes, and explores various sample preparation methods such as drop-cast and immersion. Measurement issues, including the effect of excitation laser wavelength and power, as well as the influence of buffer, are thoroughly examined. Additionally, the review discusses spectral analysis techniques, encompassing baseline removal, chemometric analysis, and machine learning approaches. The wide range of AgNR-based applications of SERS, across various fields, is also explored. Throughout the comprehensive review, key lessons learned from collective findings are outlined and analyzed, particularly in the context of detailed SERS measurements and standardization. The review also provides insights into future challenges and perspectives in the field of SERS. It is our hope that this comprehensive review will serve as a valuable reference for researchers seeking to embark on in-depth studies and applications involving their own SERS substrates.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based aptasensors for virus determination have attracted a lot of interest recently. This approach provides both specificity due to an aptamer component and a low limit of detection due to signal enhancement by a SERS substrate. The most successful SERS-based aptasensors have a limit of detection (LoD) of 10-100 viral particles per mL (VP/mL) that is advantageous compared to polymerase chain reactions. These characteristics of the sensors require the use of complex substrates. Previously, we described silver nanoisland SERS-substrate with a reproducible and uniform surface, demonstrating high potency for industrial production and a suboptimal LoD of 4 × 105 VP/mL of influenza A virus. Here we describe a study of the sensor morphology, revealing an unexpected mechanism of signal enhancement through the distortion of the nanoisland layer. A novel modification of the aptasensor was proposed with chromium-enhanced adhesion of silver nanoparticles to the surface as well as elimination of the buffer-dependent distortion-triggering steps. As a result, the LoD of the Influenza A virus was decreased to 190 VP/mL, placing the nanoisland SERS-based aptasensors in the rank of the most powerful sensors for viral detection.

Abstract
We developed petal-like plasmonic nanoparticle (PLNP) clusters-based colloidal SERS method for enrofloxacin (EnFX) detection. PLNPs were synthesized by the regulation of single-stranded DNA composed of homo-cytosine deoxynucleotides (hC) catalyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. SERS hot spots were created via the agglomeration process of PLNPs by adding an inorganic salt potassium iodide solution, in which EnFX molecules were attached to the negatively charged PLNPs surface by electrostatic interactions. This approach enabled direct in situ detection of antibiotic residues, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.15 μg/kg for EnFX. The spiked recoveries of the SERS method were approximately 92.7% to 107.2% and the RSDs ranged from 1.05% to 7.8%, indicating that the method can be applied to actual sample detection. This colloidal SERS measurement platform would be very promising in various applications, especially in real-time and on-site food safety screening owing to its rapidness, simplicity, and sensitivity.

Abstract
The separation and detection of multi-component mixtures has always been a challenging task. Traditional detection methods often suffer from complex operation, high cost, and low sensitivity. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique is a high sensitivity, powerful and rapid detection tool, which can realize the specific detection of single substance components, but it must solve the problem that multi-component mixtures cannot be accurately determined. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) technology, as a high-throughput separation technology, uses chromatographic plate as the stationary phase, and could select different developing phases for separation experiments. The advantages of TLC technology in short distance and rapid separation are widely used in protein, dye and biomedical fields. However, TLC technology has limitations in detection ability and difficulty in obtaining ideal signal intensity. The combination of TLC technology and SERS technology made the operation procedure simple and the sample size small, which can achieve rapid on-site separation and quantitative detection of mixtures. Due to the rapid development of TLC-SERS technology, it has been widely used in the investigation of various complex systems. This paper reviews the application of TLC-SERS technology in food science, environmental pollution and biomedicine.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable techniques for virus identification are required in light of recurring epidemics and pandemics throughout the world. Several techniques have been distributed for testing the flow of patients. Polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription is a reliable and sensitive, though not rapid, tool. The antibody-based strip is a rapid, though not reliable, and sensitive tool. A set of alternative tools is being developed to meet all the needs of the customer. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) provides the possibility of single molecule detection taking several minutes. Here, a multiplex lithographic SERS aptasensor was developed aiming at the detection of several respiratory viruses in one pot within 17 min. The four labeled aptamers were anchored onto the metal surface of four SERS zones; the caught viruses affect the SERS signals of the labels, providing changes in the analytical signals. The sensor was able to decode mixes of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus two), influenza A virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus within a single experiment through a one-stage recognition process.

Abstract
Fiber-optics based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (FO-SERS) has an unique advantage of being able to remotely detect analyte molecules because the fiber length can be adjusted as desired. However, the Raman signal of the fiber-optic material is so strong that it is an important challenge in utilization of optical fiber for remote SERS sensing. In this study, we found that the background noise signal was greatly reduced by ca. 32% compared to conventional fiber-optics with a flat surface cut. To confirm the feasibility of FO-SERS detection, silver nanoparticles labeled with 4-fluorobenzenethiol were attached onto the end surface of an optical fiber to form a SERS-signaling substrate. The SERS intensity from the fiber-optics with a roughened surface as SERS substrate was increased significantly with respect to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values compared to optical fibers with flat end surface. This result implies that the fiber-optics with roughened surface could be used as an efficient alternative for FO-SERS sensing platform.

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
The major challenge in today's world is that medical research is facing the existence of a vast number of viruses and their mutations, which from time to time cause outbreaks. Also, the continuous and spontaneous mutations occurring in the viruses and the emergence of resistant virus strains have become serious medical hazards. So, in view of the growing number of diseases, like the recent COVID-19 pandemic that has caused the deaths of millions of people, there is a need to improve rapid and sensitive diagnostic strategies to initiate timely treatment for such conditions. In the cases like COVID-19, where a real cure due to erratic and ambiguous signs is not available, early intervention can be life-saving. In the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, nanotechnology has evolved exponentially and can overcome multiple obstacles in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. Nanotechnology has developed exponentially in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields and can overcome numerous challenges in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. At the nano stage, the molecular properties of materials such as gold, silver, carbon, silica, and polymers get altered and can be used for the creation of reliable and accurate diagnostic techniques. This review provides insight into numerous diagnostic approaches focused on nanoparticles that could have been established for quick and early detection of such diseases.

Abstract
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of existing diagnostic techniques and the need for rapid and accurate diagnostic systems. Although molecular tests such as RT-PCR are the gold standard, they cannot be employed as point-of-care testing systems. Hence, a rapid, noninvasive diagnostic technique such as Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising analytical technique for rapid molecular or viral diagnosis. Here, we have designed a SERS- based test to rapidly diagnose SARS-CoV-2 from saliva. Physical methods synthesized the nanostructured sensor. It significantly increased the detection specificity and sensitivity by ~ten copies/mL of viral RNA (~femtomolar concentration of nucleic acids). Our technique combines the multiplexing capability of SERS with the sensitivity of novel nanostructures to detect whole virus particles and infection-associated antibodies. We have demonstrated the feasibility of the test with saliva samples from individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 with a specificity of 95%. The SERS-based test provides a promising breakthrough in detecting potential mutations that may come up with time while also preparing the world to deal with other pandemics in the future with rapid response and very accurate results.

Abstract
Optical detection of HIV-1 DNA with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a quick and versatile method, having great potential in screening and characterization of HIV-1 virus particle. We have synthesized and applied novel gold nanocubes (AuNCs) for signal enhancement of SERS to study HIV-1 DNA strands by taking into account the specific vibrational bands of functional groups. Raman peaks at 562 cm-1, 800 cm-1, 1094 cm-1 were observed in both Human Random Control DNA and HIV-1 DNA, while three new peaks were detected in infected DNA at 421 cm-1, 1069 cm-1 and 1254 cm-1. Raman bands in case of AuNCs coated HIV-1 DNA molecules were observed with enhanced intensity values as compared to the silver nanoparticles-based SERS substrate. In case of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) conjugate DNA, we get all signatures of HIV-1 virus at almost the same position with peak distortions, peak alterations and intensities reductions. We overall molecularly observed HIV-1 infected DNA and Human Random Control DNA, with high sensitivity and selectivity using highly sensitive and stable AuNCs in SERS. This technique can be utilized to identify molecular structures and chemical identification of biomacromolecules which can further be investigated as biomarkers for the screening of whole-body HIV-1 virus particles.

Abstract
Ultra-sensitive detection of cancer-related biomarkers in serum is of great significance for early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and staging of cancer. In this work, we proposed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering and fluorescence (SERS/FL) dual-mode biosensor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-related miRNA (miR-224) detection using the composition of well-arranged Au nanoarrays (Au NAs) substrate coupled with the target-catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy. The hot spots densely and uniformly distributed on the Au array offers considerably enhanced and reproducible SERS signals, along with their wide and open surface to facilitate miR-224 adsorption. By this sensing strategy, the target miR-224 can be detected in a wide linear range (1 fM to 1 nM) with a limit of detection of 0.34 fM in the SERS mode and 0.39 fM in the FL mode. Meanwhile, this biosensor with exceptional specificity and anti-interference ability can discriminate target miR-224 from other interference miRNAs. Practical analysis of human blood samples also demonstrated considerable reliability and repeatability of our developed strategy. Furthermore, this biosensor can distinguish HCC cancer subjects from normal ones and monitor HCC patients before and after hepatectomy as well as guide the distinct Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) stages. Overall, benefiting from a well-arranged Au nanoarray, CHA amplification strategy, and SERS/metal enhanced fluorescence effect, this established biosensor opens new avenues for the early prediction, warning, monitoring, and staging of HCC.

Abstract
Aptasensors based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are of high interest due to the superior specificity and low limit of detection. It is possible to produce stable and cheap SERS-active substrates and portable equipment meeting the requirements of point-of-care devices. Here we combine the membrane filtration and SERS-active substrate in the one pot. This approach allows efficient adsorption of the viruses from the solution onto aptamer-covered silver nanoparticles. Specific determination of the viruses was provided by the aptamer to influenza A virus labeled with the Raman-active label. The SERS-signal from the label was decreased with a descending concentration of the target virus. Even several virus particles in the sample provided an increase in SERS-spectra intensity, requiring only a few minutes for the interaction between the aptamer and the virus. The limit of detection of the aptasensor was as low as 10 viral particles per mL (VP/mL) of influenza A virus or 2 VP/mL per probe. This value overcomes the limit of detection of PCR techniques (∼103 VP/mL). The proposed biosensor is very convenient for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a very promising tool for the direct detection of biomarkers for the diagnosis of i.e., cancer and pathogens. Yet, current SERS strategies are hampered by non-specific interactions with co-existing substances in the biological matrices and the difficulties of obtaining molecular fingerprint information from the complex vibrational spectrum. Raman signal enhancement is necessary, along with convenient surface modification and machine-based learning to address the former issues. This review aims to describe recent advances and prospects in SERS-based approaches for cancer and pathogens diagnosis. First, direct SERS strategies for key biomarker sensing, including the use of substrates such as plasmonic, semiconductor structures, and 3D order nanostructures for signal enhancement will be discussed. Secondly, we will illustrate recent advances for indirect diagnosis using active nanomaterials, Raman reporters, and specific capture elements as SERS tags. Thirdly, critical challenges for translating the potential of the SERS sensing techniques into clinical applications via machine learning and portable instrumentation will be described. The unique nature and integrated sensing capabilities of SERS provide great promise for early cancer diagnosis or fast pathogens detection, reducing sanitary costs but most importantly allowing disease prevention and decreasing mortality rates.

Abstract
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a technique for the fabrication of sculpted micro- and nanostructures under the conditions of oblique vapor flux incident and limited adatom diffusion. GLAD-based nanostructures are emerging platforms with broad sensing applications due to their high sensitivity, enhanced optical and catalytic properties, periodicity, and controlled morphology. GLAD-fabricated nanochips and substrates for chemical and biosensing applications are replacing conventionally used nanomaterials due to their broad scope, ease of fabrication, controlled growth parameters, and hence, sensing abilities. This review focuses on recent advances in the diverse nanostructures fabricated via GLAD and their applications in the biomedical field. The effects of morphology and deposition conditions on GLAD structures, their biosensing capability, and the use of these nanostructures for various biosensing applications such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and colorimetric- and wettability-based bio-detection will be discussed in detail. GLAD has also found diverse applications in the case of molecular imaging techniques such as fluorescence, super-resolution, and photoacoustic imaging. In addition, some in vivo applications, such as drug delivery, have been discussed. Furthermore, we will also provide an overview of the status of GLAD technology as well as future challenges associated with GLAD-based nanostructures in the mentioned areas.

Contributions of vibrational spectroscopy to virology: A review. CLINICAL SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 4:100022. [PMCID: PMC9093054 DOI: 10.1016/j.clispe.2022.100022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Vibrational spectroscopic techniques, both infrared absorption and Raman scattering, are high precision, label free analytical techniques which have found applications in fields as diverse as analytical chemistry, pharmacology, forensics and archeometrics and, in recent times, have attracted increasing attention for biomedical applications. As analytical techniques, they have been applied to the characterisation of viruses as early as the 1970 s, and, in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, have been explored in response to the World Health Organisation as novel methodologies to aid in the global efforts to implement and improve rapid screening of viral infection. This review considers the history of the application of vibrational spectroscopic techniques to the characterisation of the morphology and chemical compositions of viruses, their attachment to, uptake by and replication in cells, and their potential for the detection of viruses in population screening, and in infection response monitoring applications. Particular consideration is devoted to recent efforts in the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and monitoring COVID-19.

Detection of A and B Influenza Viruses by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectroscopy and Machine Learning. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12121065.

Abstract
We demonstrate the possibility of applying surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with machine learning technology to detect and differentiate influenza type A and B viruses in a buffer environment. The SERS spectra of the influenza viruses do not possess specific peaks that allow for their straight classification and detection. Machine learning technologies (particularly, the support vector machine method) enabled the differentiation of samples containing influenza A and B viruses using SERS with an accuracy of 93% at a concentration of 200 μg/mL. The minimum detectable concentration of the virus in the sample using the proposed approach was ~0.05 μg/mL of protein (according to the Lowry protein assay), and the detection accuracy of a sample with this pathogen concentration was 84%.

Abstract
Based on etched PS sphere arrays, the different growths of Ag nanoparticles with tunable LSPR are designed when SiO2-25 nm/Ag-30 nm/SiO2-100 nm sandwich nanocavity structures are annealed at 500 °C, including the hexagonal silver nanoparticle rings, circular silver nanoparticle rings, and aggregated silver nanoparticles. The uniformity of particle size and regularity of position generate enhanced electromagnetic field and good surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy signals as confirmed by UV-vis observation and finite difference time domain method simulation. The developed nanostructures are effectively used as stable, nonreproducible, and markable anti-counterfeiting signs.

Abstract
The recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has posed a great challenge for the development of ultra-fast methods for virus identification based on sensor principles. We created a structure modeling surface and size of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and used it in comparison with the standard antigen SARS-CoV-2—the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S-protein of the envelope of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Wuhan strain—for the development of detection of coronaviruses using a DNA-modified, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based aptasensor in sandwich mode: a primary aptamer attached to the plasmonic surface—RBD-covered Ag nanoparticle—the Cy3-labeled secondary aptamer. Fabricated novel hybrid plasmonic structures based on “Ag mirror-SiO2-nanostructured Ag” demonstrate sensitivity for the detection of investigated analytes due to the combination of localized surface plasmons in nanostructured silver surface and the gap surface plasmons in a thin dielectric layer of SiO2 between silver layers. A specific SERS signal has been obtained from SERS-active compounds with RBD-specific DNA aptamers that selectively bind to the S protein of synthetic virion (dissociation constants of DNA-aptamer complexes with protein in the range of 10 nM). The purpose of the study is to systematically analyze the combination of components in an aptamer-based sandwich system. A developed virus size simulating silver particles adsorbed on an aptamer-coated sensor provided a signal different from free RBD. The data obtained are consistent with the theory of signal amplification depending on the distance of the active compound from the amplifying surface and the nature of such a compound. The ability to detect the target virus due to specific interaction with such DNA is quantitatively controlled by the degree of the quenching SERS signal from the labeled compound. Developed indicator sandwich-type systems demonstrate high stability. Such a platform does not require special permissions to work with viruses. Therefore, our approach creates the promising basis for fostering the practical application of ultra-fast, amplification-free methods for detecting coronaviruses based on SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive pathogen detection is important for prevention and control of disease. Here, we report a label-free diagnostic platform that combines surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and machine learning for the rapid and accurate detection of thirteen respiratory virus species including SARS-CoV-2, common human coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and others. Virus detection and measurement have been performed using highly sensitive SiO2 coated silver nanorod array substrates, allowing for detection and identification of their characteristic SERS peaks. Using appropriate spectral processing procedures and machine learning algorithms (MLAs) including support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor, and random forest, the virus species as well as strains and variants have been differentiated and classified and a differentiation accuracy of >99% has been obtained. Utilizing SVM-based regression, quantitative calibration curves have been constructed to accurately estimate the unknown virus concentrations in buffer and saliva. This study shows that using a combination of SERS, MLA, and regression, it is possible to classify and quantify the virus in saliva, which could aid medical diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Noble metal nanostructures are known to confine photon energies to their dimensions with resonant oscillations of their conduction electrons, leading to the ultrahigh enhancement of electromagnetic fields in numerous spectroscopic methods. Of all the possible plasmonic nanomaterials, silver offers the most intriguing properties, such as best field enhancements and tunable resonances in visible-to-near infrared regions. This review highlights the recent developments in silver nanostructured substrates for plasmonic sensing with the main emphasis on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) over the past decade. The main focus is on the synthesis of silver nanostructured substrates via physical vapor deposition and chemical synthesis routes and their applications in each sensing regime. A comprehensive review of recent literature on various possible silver nanostructures prepared through these methodologies is discussed and critically reviewed for various planar and optical fiber-based substrates.

Abstract
Precise transfer and attachment of a single nanowire to a target substrate is an interesting technique in surface engineering. The spacing, which restrains the attachment of a nanowire to a substrate, and the bending strain that occurs when the nanowire detaches from the elastomeric donor are important design parameters. In this regard, in this study, all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to analyse the mechanical behaviour of a penta-twinned silver nanowire (AgNW) placed on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) donor substrate to elucidate the relevant transfer process. The bow deformation of the AgNW at the delamination front of PDMS was characterized as a function of its diameter and aspect ratio. The mechanisms of dislocation slip and propagation as well as the internal stress distribution of the AgNW were then examined. The results showed that twin boundary formation during the bow deformation is a key factor affecting the strain hardening of the AgNW and leading to complete plastic strain recovery after the removal of the PDMS substrate. Furthermore, the process was demonstrated experimentally by a localized bonding and transfer of AgNWs by continuous-wave laser irradiation. Based on the computational and experimental findings, an empirical model considering the shape parameters of AgNWs that can ensure a successful transfer process was established, which is essential for high-performance AgNW electrode design.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the subpopulation of cells present within a tumor with the properties of self-renewing, differentiating, and proliferating. Owing to the presence of ATP-binding cassette drug pumps and increased expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, the conventional chemotherapeutic agents have failed to eliminate CSCs resulting in relapse and resistance of cancer. Therefore, to obtain long-lasting clinical responses and avoid the recurrence of cancer, it is crucial to develop an efficient strategy targeting CSCs by either employing a differentiation therapy or specifically delivering drugs to CSCs. Several intracellular and extracellular cancer specific biomarkers are overexpressed by CSCs and are utilized as targets for the development of new approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of CSCs. Moreover, several nanostructured particles, alone or in combination with current treatment approaches, have been used to improve the detection, imaging, and targeting of CSCs, thus addressing the limitations of cancer therapies. Targeting CSC surface markers, stemness-related signaling pathways, and tumor microenvironmental signals has improved the detection and eradication of CSCs and, therefore, tumor diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes a variety of promising nanoparticles targeting the surface biomarkers of CSCs for the detection and eradication of tumor-initiating stem cells, used in combination with other treatment regimens.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, also known as the disease-causing agent for COVID-19, is a virulent pathogen that may infect people and certain animals. The global spread of COVID-19 and its emerging variation necessitates the development of rapid, reliable, simple, and low-cost diagnostic tools. Many methodologies and devices have been developed for the highly sensitive, selective, cost-effective, and rapid diagnosis of COVID-19. This review organizes the diagnosis platforms into four groups: imaging, molecular-based detection, serological testing, and biosensors. Each platform's principle, advancement, utilization, and challenges for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 are discussed in detail. In addition, an overview of the impact of variants on detection, commercially available kits, and readout signal analysis has been presented. This review will expand our understanding of developing advanced diagnostic approaches to evolve into susceptible, precise, and reproducible technologies to combat any future outbreak.

Abstract
The diagnosis of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has gained the spotlight of the world's scientific community since December 2019 and it remains an important issue due to the emergence of novel variants around the globe. Early diagnosis of coronavirus is captious to prevent and hard to control. This pandemic can be eradicated by implementing suppressing strategies which can lead to better outcomes and more lives being saved. Therefore, the analysis showed that COVID-19 can only be managed by adopting public health measures, such as testing, isolation and social distancing. Much work has been done to diagnose coronavirus. Various testing technologies have been developed, opted and modified for rapid and accurate detection. The advanced molecular diagnosis relies on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 as it has been considered the main causative agent of this pandemic. Studies have shown that several molecular tests are considered essential for the confirmation of coronavirus infection. Various serology-based tests are also used in the detection and diagnosis of coronavirus including point-of-care assays and high-throughput enzyme immunoassays that aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19. Both these assays are time-consuming and have less diagnostic accuracy. Nanotechnology has the potential to develop new strategies to combat COVID-19 by developing diagnostics and therapeutics. In this review, we have focused on the nanotechnology-based detection techniques including nanoparticles and biosensors to obstruct the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Controlling contagious diseases necessitates using diagnostic techniques that can detect infection in the early stages. Although different diagnostic tools exist, there are still challenges related to accuracy, rapidity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a rapid, simple, less expensive, and accurate method. We continue our previous work published on SERS detection of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) in water. In this work, we replace water with saliva to detect SARS-CoV-2 proteins at very low concentrations and during a very short time. We prepared a very low concentration of 10−9 M SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) and SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) in saliva to mimic a real case scenario. Then, we drop them on a SERS substrate. Using modified SERS measurements on the control and the sample containing the biomolecules, confirmed the sensitivity of the target identification. This technique provides different diagnostic solutions that are fast, simple, non-destructive and ultrasensitive. Simulation of the real-world of silicon wire covered with silver and gold, were performed using an effective and accurate tool, COMSOL Multiphysics software, for the enhancement properties study.

Abstract
Widespread testing and isolation of infected patients is a cornerstone of viral outbreak management, as underscored during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we report a large-area and label-free testing platform that combines surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and machine learning for the rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2. Spectroscopic signatures acquired from virus samples on metal-insulator-metal nanostructures, fabricated using nanoimprint lithography and transfer printing, can provide test results within 25 min. Not only can our technique accurately distinguish between different respiratory and nonrespiratory viruses, but it can also detect virus signatures in physiologically relevant matrices such as human saliva without any additional sample preparation. Furthermore, our large area nanopatterning approach allows sensors to be fabricated on flexible surfaces allowing them to be mounted on any surface or used as wearables. We envision that our versatile and portable label-free spectroscopic platform will offer an important tool for virus detection and future outbreak preparedness.

Abstract
Lentiviruses are commonly used to deliver genetic code into host cells for biomedical applications, such as gene therapy, pharmaceuticals, and vaccine development. Knowing the infectious titer of these virus particles is critical for development in these areas. Current methods of determining viral titer often require cell culture, where a cell is infected and the inserted genetic code is expressed in a known number of cells, which can require days or weeks to prepare and analyze samples. To provide a more rapid method of determining viral titer, the use of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was explored. SERS provides both chemical and structural information by using plasmonic metallic nanostructures to amplify the Raman signal. Two different lentiviruses, one with a vector encoding a GFP gene and the same virus without the GFP gene included, were analyzed by SERS in viral production media at various concentrations. The SERS response was demonstrated to be sensitive to the incorporation of the GFP gene into the viral vector. Chemometric analysis using multivariate curve resolution (MCR) was able to identify a component in the observed SERS spectra that correlated with the concentration of GFP containing virus particles. Using the MCR model and the SERS response, the viral titer of lentivirus encoding for GFP was determined. The viral titer determined by SERS agreed well with expression of the GFP in infected cells. The SERS response using different metals and excitation wavelengths was also explored. Overall, this work demonstrates the utility of SERS for rapid determination of lentiviral titer.

Abstract
COVID-19 has caused millions of cases and deaths all over the world since late 2019. Rapid detection of the virus is crucial for controlling its spread through a population. COVID-19 is currently detected by nucleic acid-based tests and serological tests. However, these methods have limitations such as the requirement of high-cost reagents, false negative results and being time consuming. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), which is a powerful technique that enhances the Raman signals of molecules using plasmonic nanostructures, can overcome these disadvantages. In this study, we developed a virus-infected cell model and analyzed this model by SERS combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). HEK293 cells were transfected with plasmids encoding the nucleocapsid (N), membrane (M) and envelope (E) proteins of SARS-CoV-2 via polyethyleneimine (PEI). Non-plasmid transfected HEK293 cells were used as the control group. Cellular uptake was optimized with green fluorescence protein (GFP) plasmids and evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The transfection efficiency was found to be around 60%. The expression of M, N, and E proteins was demonstrated by western blotting. The SERS spectra of the total proteins of transfected cells were obtained using a gold nanoparticle-based SERS substrate. Proteins of the transfected cells have peak positions at 646, 680, 713, 768, 780, 953, 1014, 1046, 1213, 1243, 1424, 2102, and 2124 cm-1. To reveal spectral differences between plasmid transfected cells and non-transfected control cells, PCA was applied to the spectra. The results demonstrated that SERS coupled with PCA might be a favorable and reliable way to develop a rapid, low-cost, and promising technique for the detection of COVID-19.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The current COVID-19 pandemic urges the extremely sensitive and prompt detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Here, we present a Human Angiotensin-converting-enzyme 2 (ACE2)-functionalized gold "virus traps" nanostructure as an extremely sensitive SERS biosensor, to selectively capture and rapidly detect S-protein expressed coronavirus, such as the current SARS-CoV-2 in the contaminated water, down to the single-virus level. Such a SERS sensor features extraordinary 106-fold virus enrichment originating from high-affinity of ACE2 with S protein as well as "virus-traps" composed of oblique gold nanoneedles, and 109-fold enhancement of Raman signals originating from multi-component SERS effects. Furthermore, the identification standard of virus signals is established by machine-learning and identification techniques, resulting in an especially low detection limit of 80 copies mL-1 for the simulated contaminated water by SARS-CoV-2 virus with complex circumstance as short as 5 min, which is of great significance for achieving real-time monitoring and early warning of coronavirus. Moreover, here-developed method can be used to establish the identification standard for future unknown coronavirus, and immediately enable extremely sensitive and rapid detection of novel virus.

Abstract
An inverted pyramidal metasurface was designed, fabricated, and studied at the nanoscale level for the development of a label-free pathogen detection on a chip platform that merges nanotechnology and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Based on the integration and synergy of these ingredients, a virus immunoassay was proposed as a relevant proof of concept for very sensitive detection of hepatitis A virus, for the first time to our best knowledge, in a very small volume (2 μL), without complex signal amplification, allowing to detect a minimal virus concentration of 13 pg/mL. The proposed work aims to develop a high-flux and high-accuracy surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanobiosensor for the detection of pathogens to provide an effective method for early and easy water monitoring, which can be fast and convenient.

Abstract
The development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor platforms based on the sandwich combination of an SERS substrate and Raman reporter coated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) labeled with antibody has been widely performed for highly sensitive detection of biomolecules. The size of biomolecules located between these SERS-active materials dictates the sensitivity enhancement of the sensor. However, no suitable molecular size is provided. In this study, we report the gap-dependent SERS enhancement model using the combination of two SERS-active materials of 2D arrays of gold core-silver shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag core-shell NPs) as SERS-active substrates and mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA)-labeled AuNPs as SERS probes. The distance between these two materials is finely tuned using layer-by-layer assembled polyelectrolyte multilayer films. The morphology of the polyelectrolyte spacer is controlled into a droplet nanostructure, which is assumed to have a comparable shape with globular biomolecules. The well-controlled height or thickness of polyelectrolyte nanodroplet was achieved by changing number of deposition cycles. By increasing the thickness of the polyelectrolyte nanodroplet, MBA SERS intensities gradually decreased until at 40 nm-thick nanodroplet film and maintained afterward. This spacer thickness defined the limit of plasmonic coupling effect from this SERS probe-substrate combination. The SERS enhancement capability of this model was compared to conventional SERS immunoassay using three different antigen-antibody complex sizes of prostate-specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9. Good agreement of the limitation of plasmon coupling as a function of the distance between the SERS substrate-probe combination using this developed model and SERS immunoassay was found. The finding provides valuable guidelines for immune-system selection in SERS immunosensors based on SERS substrate-probe combination.

Abstract
Due to changes in our climate and constant loss of habitat for animals, new pathogens for humans are constantly erupting. SARS-CoV-2 virus, become so infectious and deadly that they put new challenge to the whole technological advancement of healthcare. Within this very decade, several other deadly virus outbreaks were witnessed by humans such as Zika virus, Ebola virus, MERS-coronavirus etc. and there might be even more infectious and deadlier diseases in the horizon. Though conventional techniques have succeeded in detecting these viruses to some extent, these techniques are time-consuming, costly, and require trained human-resources. Plasmonic metamaterial based biosensors might pave the way to low-cost rapid virus detection. So this review discusses in details, the latest development in plasmonics and metamaterial based biosensors for virus, viral particles and antigen detection and the future direction of research in this field.

Abstract
The impacts of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic highlight the importance of environmental monitoring to inform public health safety. Wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) has drawn interest as a tool for analysis of biomarkers in wastewater networks. Wide scale implementation of WBE requires a variety of field deployable analytical tools for real-time monitoring. Nanobiotechnology enabled sensing platforms offer potential as biosensors capable of highly efficient and sensitive detection of target analytes. This review provides an overview of the design and working principles of nanobiotechnology enabled biosensors and recent progress on the use of biosensors in detection of biomarkers. In addition, applications of biosensors for analysis of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus are highlighted as they relate to the potential expanded use of biosensors for WBE-based monitoring. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges in future applications of biosensors in WBE for effective monitoring and investigation of public health threats.

Abstract
The outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia challenges the rapid interrogation of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in human and environmental samples. In this study, we developed an assay using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) coupled with multivariate analysis to detect SARS-CoV-2 in an ultra-fast manner without any pretreatment (e.g., RNA extraction). Using silver-nanorod SERS array functionalized with cellular receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), we obtained strong SERS signals of ACE2 at 1032, 1051, 1089, 1189, 1447 and 1527 cm-1. The recognition and binding of receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on SERS assay significantly quenched the spectral intensities of most peaks and exhibited a shift from 1189 to 1182 cm-1. On-site tests on 23 water samples with a portable Raman spectrometer proved its accuracy and easy-operation for spot detection of SARS-CoV-2 to evaluate disinfection performance, explore viral survival in environmental media, assess viral decay in wastewater treatment plant and track SARS-CoV-2 in pipe network. Our findings raise a state-of-the-art spectroscopic tool to screen and interrogate viruses with RBD for human cell entry, proving its feasibility and potential as an ultra-fast detection tool for wastewater-based epidemiology.

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11051217.

Abstract
We present an efficient refractive index sensor consisting of a heterostructure that contains an Au inverted honeycomb lattice as a main sensing element. Our design aims at maximizing the out-of-plane near-field distributions of the collective modes of the lattice mapping the sensor surroundings. These modes are further enhanced by a patterned SiO2 layer with the same inverted honeycomb lattice, an SiO2 spacer, and an Au mirror underneath the Au sensing layer that contribute to achieving a high performance. The optical response of the heterostructure was studied by numerical simulation. The results corresponding to one of the collective modes showed high sensitivity values ranging from 99 to 395 nm/RIU for relatively thin layers of test materials within 50 and 200 nm. In addition, the figure of merit of the sensor detecting slight changes of the refractive index of a water medium at a fixed wavelength was as high as 199 RIU-1. As an experimental proof of concept, the heterostructure was manufactured by a simple method based on electron beam lithography and the measured optical response reproduces the simulations. This work paves the way for improving both the sensitivity of plasmonic sensors and the signal of some enhanced surface spectroscopies.

Abstract
The current widespread of COVID-19 all over the world, which is caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, has again emphasized the importance of development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics for timely prevention and control of the pandemic. Compared with labor- and time-consuming traditional diagnostic methods, POC diagnostics exhibit several advantages such as faster diagnostic speed, better sensitivity and specificity, lower cost, higher efficiency and ability of on-site detection. To achieve POC diagnostics, developing POC detection methods and correlated POC devices is the key and should be given top priority. The fast development of microfluidics, micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, nanotechnology and materials science, have benefited the production of a series of portable, miniaturized, low cost and highly integrated POC devices for POC diagnostics of various infectious diseases. In this review, various POC detection methods for the diagnosis of infectious diseases, including electrochemical biosensors, fluorescence biosensors, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based biosensors, colorimetric biosensors, chemiluminiscence biosensors, surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensors, and magnetic biosensors, were first summarized. Then, recent progresses in the development of POC devices including lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices, lab-on-a-disc (LOAD) devices, microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), lateral flow devices, miniaturized PCR devices, and isothermal nucleic acid amplification (INAA) devices, were systematically discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for the design and development of POC detection methods and correlated devices were presented. The ultimate goal of this review is to provide new insights and directions for the future development of POC diagnostics for the management of infectious diseases and contribute to the prevention and control of infectious pandemics like COVID-19.

Abstract
The current outbreak of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic worldwide has caused millions of fatalities and imposed a severe impact on our daily lives. Thus, the global healthcare system urgently calls for rapid, affordable, and reliable detection toolkits. Although the gold-standard nucleic acid amplification tests have been widely accepted and utilized, they are time-consuming and labor-intensive, which exceedingly hinder the mass detection in low-income populations, especially in developing countries. Recently, due to the blooming development of photonics, various optical chips have been developed to detect single viruses with the advantages of fast, label-free, affordable, and point of care deployment. Herein, optical approaches especially in three perspectives, e.g., flow-free optical methods, optofluidics, and surface-modification-assisted approaches, are summarized. The future development of on-chip optical-detection methods in the wave of emerging new ideas in nanophotonics is also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Bimetallic or alloy nanoparticles (NPs) have improved properties compared to their monometallic forms. Microalgae being rich in biocompatible reductants and being ecofriendly are potential sources to synthesize fuctionalized NPs. In this study, biosynthesis of silver, gold, and bimetallic NPs was carried out via bioreduction using aqueous extract of algal isolate Chlorella acidophile, inhabitant of non-arable land. C. acidophile is known to contain highly bioactive functional moieties, which can serve as nanobiofactories for metallic NPs. Various characterization techniques viz, UV-visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy were employed to determine their composition, structure, and crystal phase. The monometallic and bimetallic particles were found to be crystalline state and generally in a spherical shape. Their size ranged from 5 to 45 nm and the corresponding FTIR spectra indicated that the specific organic functional groups from algal extract were involved in the bio-reduction. Furthermore, the core-shell in the case of Au-Ag NPs was formed due to the simultaneous reduction of gold and silver ions. An enhanced and more pronounced Raman spectra of Au-Ag NP compared to individual Au NP indicated the improved properties of bimetallic NPs, the latter having been of immense potential to be used as sensors in industries.
