THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 950:174252. [PMID: 38942304 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174252] [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: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
The agricultural sector plays a pivotal role in driving the economy of many developing countries. Any dent in this economical structure may have a severe impact on a country's population. With rising climate change and increasing pollution, the agricultural sector is experiencing significant damage. Over time this cumulative damage will affect the integrity of food crops and create food security issues around the world. Therefore, an early warning system is needed to detect possible stress on food crops. Here we present a review of the recent developments in nanomaterial-based Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrates which could be utilized to monitor agricultural crop responses to natural and anthropogenic stress. Initially, our review delves into diverse and cost-effective strategies for fabricating SERS substrates, emphasizing their intelligent utilization across various agricultural scenarios. In the second phase of our review, we spotlight the specific application of SERS in addressing critical food security issues. By detecting nutrients, hormones, and effector molecules in plants, SERS provides valuable insights into plant health. Furthermore, our exploration extends to the detection of contaminants, chemicals, and foodborne pathogens within plants, showcasing the versatility of SERS in ensuring food safety. The cumulative knowledge derived from these discussions illustrates the transformative potential of SERS in bolstering the agricultural economy. By enhancing precision in nutrient management, monitoring plant health, and enabling rapid detection of harmful substances, SERS emerges as a pivotal tool in promoting sustainable and secure agricultural practices. Its integration into agricultural processes not only augments productivity but also establishes a robust defence against potential threats to crop yield and food quality. As SERS continues to evolve, its role in shaping the future of agriculture becomes increasingly pronounced, promising a paradigm shift in how we approach and address challenges in food production and safety.

Talanta 2024; 280:126743. [PMID: 39178512 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024]
Abstract
Quantitative detection of pesticide residues in food and environmental samples using an improved lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is of considerable importance for real-time analysis. This paper proposes a highly sensitive LFIA platform based on a hierarchical magneto-colorimetric compact. This compact serves as both the target magnetic enrichment substrate and a photosensitive label. Initially, a large porous dendritic silica template is prepared and doped with superparamagnetic ferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at high densities within its vertical channels. The sequential assembly of central-radial channels allow for the three-dimensional integration of these two components, enabling independent control of their discrete functions without mutual interference. Following alkyl organosilicon encapsulation and silica sealing, the composite spheres are then applied in LFIA to detect chlorothalonil residues. Fe3O4 NPs enhance the binding efficiency to target analytes, while AuNPs amplify the signal, leveraging their high loading densities and robust optical properties. The developed LFIA platform exhibited a detection limit of 0.34 ng/mL for chlorothalonil and a linear range of 0.0085-824 ng/mL. The recoveries varied between 85.1 % and 103.1 %, and the relative standard deviations were 1.25%-8.84 %. This LFIA approach demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and flexible detection modes, making it highly suitable for the on-site monitoring of pesticide residues.

Abstract
Biological weapons, primarily dispersed as aerosols, can spread not only to the targeted area but also to adjacent regions following the movement of air driven by wind. Thus, there is a growing demand for toxin analysis because biological weapons are among the most influential and destructive. Specifically, such a technique should be hand-held, rapid, and easy to use because current methods require more time and well-trained personnel. Our study demonstrates the use of a novel lateral flow immunoassay, which has a confined structure like a double barbell in the detection area (so called c-LFA) for toxin detection such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), ricinus communis (Ricin), and botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A). Additionally, we have explored the integration of machine learning (ML), specifically, a toxin chip boosting (TOCBoost) hybrid algorithm for improved sensitivity and specificity. Consequently, the ML powered c-LFA concurrently categorized three biological toxin types with an average accuracy as high as 95.5%. To our knowledge, the sensor proposed in this study is the first attempt to utilize ML for the assessment of toxins. The advent of the c-LFA orchestrated a paradigm shift by furnishing a versatile and robust platform for the rapid, on-site detection of various toxins, including SEB, Ricin, and BoNT-A. Our platform enables accessible and on-site toxin monitoring for non-experts and can potentially be applied to biosecurity.

Toxins (Basel) 2024; 16:312. [PMID: 39057952 PMCID: PMC11280971 DOI: 10.3390/toxins16070312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Abrin and ricin, both type II ribosome-inactivating proteins, are toxins of significant concern and are under international restriction by the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. The development of a rapid and sensitive detection method for these toxins is of the utmost importance for the first emergency response. Emerging rapid detection techniques, such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and lateral flow assay (LFA), have garnered attention due to their high sensitivity, good selectivity, ease of operation, low cost, and disposability. In this work, we generated stable and high-affinity nanotags, via an efficient freezing method, to serve as the capture module for SERS-LFA. We then constructed a sandwich-style lateral flow test strip using a pair of glycoproteins, asialofetuin and concanavalin A, as the core affinity recognition molecules, capable of trace measurement for both abrin and ricin. The limit of detection for abrin and ricin was 0.1 and 0.3 ng/mL, respectively. This method was applied to analyze eight spiked white powder samples, one juice sample, and three actual botanic samples, aligning well with cytotoxicity assay outcomes. It demonstrated good inter-batch and intra-batch reproducibility among the test strips, and the detection could be completed within 15 min, indicating the suitability of this SERS-LFA method for the on-site rapid detection of abrin and ricin toxins.

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

Abstract
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak created an unprecedented need for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective point-of-care diagnostic tests to prevent and mitigate the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Herein, we demonstrated an advanced lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform with dual-functional [colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)] detection of the spike 1 (S1) protein of SARS-CoV-2. The nanosensor was integrated with a specially designed core-gap-shell morphology consisting of a gold shell decorated with external nanospheres, a structure referred to as gold nanocrown (GNC), labeled with a Raman reporter molecule 1,3,3,1',3',3'-hexamethyl-2,2'-indotricarbocyanine iodide (HITC) to produce a strong colorimetric signal as well as an enhanced SERS signal. Among the different plasmonics-active GNC nanostructures, the GNC-2 morphology, which has a shell decorated with an optimum number and size of nanospheres, produces an intense dark-blue colorimetric signal and ultrahigh SERS signal. The limit of detection (LOD) of the S1 protein via colorimetric detection LFIA was determined to be 91.24 pg/mL. On the other hand, the LOD for the SERS LFIA method was more than three orders of magnitude lower at 57.21 fg/mL. Furthermore, we analyzed the performance of the GNC-2 nanosensor for directly analyzing the S1 protein spiked in saliva samples without any sample pretreatment and achieving the LOD as low as 39.65 fg/mL using SERS-based plasmonics-enhanced LFIA, indicating ultrahigh detection sensitivity. Overall, our GNC nanosensor showed excellent sensitivity, reproducibility, and rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein, demonstrating excellent potential as a promising point-of-care platform for the early detection of respiratory virus infections.

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

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

Au@Ag Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Colorimetric and Surface-Enhanced Raman-Scattering-Based Multiplex Competitive Lateral Flow Immunoassay for the Simultaneous Detection of Histamine and Parvalbumin in Fish. ACS APPLIED NANO MATERIALS 2024; 7:498-508. [PMID: 38229662 PMCID: PMC10788866 DOI: 10.1021/acsanm.3c04696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
Foodborne allergies and illnesses represent a major global health concern. In particular, fish can trigger life-threatening food allergic reactions and poisoning effects, mainly caused by the ingestion of parvalbumin toxin. Additionally, preformed histamine in less-than-fresh fish serves as a toxicological alert. Consequently, the analytical assessment of parvalbumin and histamine levels in fish becomes a critical public health safety measure. The multiplex detection of both analytes has emerged as an important issue. The analytical detection of parvalbumin and histamine requires different assays; while the determination of parvalbumin is commonly carried out by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, histamine is analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. In this study, we present an approach for multiplexing detection and quantification of trace amounts of parvalbumin and histamine in canned fish. This is achieved through a colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman-scattering-based competitive lateral flow assay (SERS-LFIA) employing plasmonic nanoparticles. Two distinct SERS nanotags tailored for histamine or β-parvalbumin detection were synthesized. Initially, spherical 50 nm Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) were encoded with either rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RBITC) or malachite green isothiocyanate (MGITC). Subsequently, these nanoparticles were bioconjugated with anti-β-parvalbumin and antihistamine, forming the basis for our detection and quantification methodology. Additionally, our approach demonstrates the use of SERS-LFIA for the sensitive and multiplexed detection of parvalbumin and histamine on a single test line, paving the way for on-site detection employing portable Raman instruments.

Abstract
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), the major virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus, cause a wide range of food poisoning and seriously threaten human health by infiltrating the food supply chain at different phases of manufacture, processes, distribution, and market. The significant prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus calls for efficient, fast, and sensitive methods for the early detection of SEs. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the hazards of SEs in contaminated food, the characteristic and worldwide regulations of SEs, and various detection methods for SEs with extensive comparison and discussion of benefits and drawbacks, mainly including biological detection, genetic detection, and mass spectrometry detection and biosensors. We highlight the biosensors for the screening purpose of SEs, which are classified according to different recognition elements such as antibodies, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers, T-cell receptors, and transducers such as optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric biosensors. We analyzed challenges of biosensors for the monitoring of SEs and conclude the trends for the development of novel biosensors should pay attention to improve samples pretreatment efficiency, employ innovative nanomaterials, and develop portable instruments. This review provides new information and insightful commentary, important to the development and innovation of further detection methods for SEs in food samples.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of biomarkers is needed for early diagnosis of disease and surveillance of infectious outbreaks. Here, we exploit a plasmonic syringe filter and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in the development of a rapid detection system, using human IgG as a model diagnostic biomarker. The novel assay design facilitates multiple passages of the sample and labeling solution through the detection zone enabling us to investigate and maximize sampling efficiency to the capture substrate. The vertical flow immunoassay process in this study involves the utilization of filter paper embedded with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to form a plasmonic substrate. Capture antibody (anti-human IgG) is then immobilized onto the prepared plasmonic paper and inserted into a vertical flow device (syringe filter holder). Sample solution is passed through the filter paper and the target antigen (human IgG) is selectively captured by the immobilized antibody to form an antibody-antigen complex. Next, functionalized AuNPs as extrinsic Raman labels (ERLs) are passed through the filter paper to label the captured biomarker molecules forming a layered structure. This sandwiched geometry enhances plasmonic coupling and SERS signal to provide highly sensitive detection of biomolecules. Systematic studies to investigate the impact of multiple infuse/withdraw cycles of the sample and labeling solutions reveal that antigen and ERL binding are maximized with 10 and 20 cycles, respectively. The optimized assay achieves a detection limit of ∼0.2 ng mL-1 for human IgG with a total assay time of less than 5 minutes, meeting the demands for rapid point of care diagnostics. Additionally, the optimized platform was implemented in the quantitative analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, the typical target in commercial, FDA-approved rapid antigen tests for COVID-19.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted the need for rapid and accurate viral detection at the point-of-care testing (POCT). Compared with nucleic acid detection, lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid and flexible method for POCT detection. However, the sensitivity of LFIA limits its use for early identification of patients with COVID-19. Here, an innovative surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-LFIA platform based on two-dimensional black phosphorus decorated with Ag nanoparticles as important antigen-capturing and Raman-signal-amplification unit was developed for detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants within 5-20 min. The novel SERS-LFIA platform realized a limit of detection of 0.5 pg/mL and 100 copies/mL for N protein and SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating 1000 times more sensitivity than the commercial LFIA strips. It could reliably detect seven different SARS-CoV-2 variants with cycle threshold (Ct) < 38, with sensitivity and specificity of 97 and 100%, respectively, exhibiting the same sensitivity with q-PCR. Furthermore, the detection results for 48 SARS-CoV-2-positive nasopharyngeal swabs (Ct = 19.8-38.95) and 96 negative nasopharyngeal swabs proved the reliability of the strips in clinical application. The method also had good specificity in double-blind experiments involving several other coronaviruses, respiratory viruses, and respiratory medications. The results showed that the innovative SERS-LFIA platform is expected to be the next-generation antigen detection technology. The inexpensive amplification-free assay combines the advantages of rapid low-cost POCT and highly sensitive nucleic acid detection, and it is suitable for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants and other pathogens. Thus, it could replace existing antigens and nucleic acids to some extent.

Abstract
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are a popular method for quick and affordable diagnostic testing because they are easy to use, portable, and user-friendly. However, LFA design has always faced challenges regarding sensitivity, accuracy, and complexity of the operation. By integrating new technologies and reagents, the sensitivity and accuracy of LFAs can be improved while minimizing the complexity and potential for false positives. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), photoacoustic techniques, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and the integration of smartphones and thermal readers can improve LFA accuracy and sensitivity. To ensure reliable and accurate results, careful assay design and validation, appropriate controls, and optimization of assay conditions are necessary. Continued innovation in LFA technology is crucial to improving the reliability and accuracy of rapid diagnostic testing and expanding its applications to various areas, such as food testing, water quality monitoring, and environmental testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria at an early stage is a highly significant research field for public health. However, most traditional approaches for pathogen identification are time-consuming and labour-intensive, which may cause physicians making inappropriate treatment decisions based on an incomplete diagnosis of patients with unknown infections, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, novel methods are constantly required to face the emerging challenges of bacterial detection and identification. In particular, Raman spectroscopy (RS) is becoming an attractive method for rapid and accurate detection of bacterial pathogens in recent years, among which the newly developed surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) shows the most promising potential. AIM OF REVIEW Recent advances in pathogen detection and diagnosis of bacterial infections were discussed with focuses on the development of the SERS approaches and its applications in complex clinical settings. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW The current review describes bacterial classification using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for developing a rapid and more accurate method for the identification of bacterial pathogens in clinical diagnosis. The initial part of this review gives a brief overview of the mechanism of SERS technology and development of the SERS approach to detect bacterial pathogens in complex samples. The development of the label-based and label-free SERS strategies and several novel SERS-compatible technologies in clinical applications, as well as the analytical procedures and examples of chemometric methods for SERS, are introduced. The computational challenges of pre-processing spectra and the highlights of the limitations and perspectives of the SERS technique are also discussed.Taken together, this systematic review provides an overall summary of the SERS technique and its application potential for direct bacterial diagnosis in clinical samples such as blood, urine and sputum, etc.

Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy is increasingly used as a sensitive bioanalytical tool for detection of variety of analytes ranging from viruses and bacteria to cancer biomarkers and toxins, etc. This comprehensive review describes principles of operation and compares the performance of immunoassays and aptamer assays with Surface Enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection to each other and to some other bioassay methods, including ELISA and fluorescence assays. Both immuno- and aptamer-based assays are categorized into assay on solid substrates, assays with magnetic nanoparticles and assays in laminar flow or/and strip assays. The best performing and recent examples of assays in each category are described in the text and illustrated in the figures. The average performance, particularly, limit of detection (LOD) for each of those methods reflected in 9 tables of the manuscript and average LODs are calculated and compared. We found out that, on average, there is some advantage in terms of LOD for SERS immunoassays (0.5 pM median LOD of 88 papers) vs SERS aptamer-based assays (1.7 pM median LOD of 51 papers). We also tabulated and analyzed the clinical performance of SERS immune and aptamer assays, where selectivity, specificity, and accuracy are reported, we summarized the best examples. We also reviewed challenges to SERS bioassay performance and real-life application, including non-specific protein binding, nanoparticle aggregation, limited nanotag stability, sometimes, relatively long time to results, etc. The proposed solutions to those challenges are also discussed in the review. Overall, this review may be interesting not only to bioanalytical chemist, but to medical and life science researchers who are interested in improvement of bioanalyte detection and diagnostics.

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

Abstract
The fast spread and transmission of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has become one of serious global public health problems. Herein, a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) was developed for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen. Using uniquely designed core-shell nanoparticle with embedded Raman probe molecules as the indicator to reveal the concentration of target protein, excellent quantitative performance with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 ng/mL and detection range of 10-1000 ng/mL can be achieved within 15 min. Besides, the detection of spiked virus protein in human saliva was also performed with a portable Raman spectrometer, proposing the feasibility of the method in practical applications. This easy-to-use, rapid and accurate method would provide a point-of-care testing way as the ideal alternative for current detection requirement of virus-related biomarkers.

Abstract
Early diagnosis saves lives in many diseases. In this sense, monitoring of biomarkers is crucial for the diagnosis of diseases. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have attracted great attention among paper-based point-of-care testing (POCT) due to their low cost, user-friendliness, and time-saving advantages. Developments in the field of health have led to an increase of interest in these rapid tests. LFAs are used in the diagnosis and monitoring of many diseases, thanks to biomarkers that can be observed in body fluids. This review covers the recent advances dealing with the design and strategies for the development of LFA for the detection of biomarkers used in clinical applications in the last 5 years. We focus on various strategies such as choosing the nanoparticle type, single or multiple test approaches, and equipment for signal transducing for the detection of the most common biomarkers in different diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, infectious, and others including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. We expect that this study will contribute to the different approaches in LFA and pave the way for other clinical applications.

Colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering dual-mode magnetic immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of blood phosphorylated tau in Alzheimer's disease. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 222:114935. [PMID: 36463652 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Phosphorylation of tau at Ser 396, 404 (p-tau396,404) is the earliest phosphorylation event and a promising biomarker for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the detection of blood p-tau is challenging because of its low abundance, easy degradation, and complex formation with various blood proteins or cells, often leading to the underestimation of p-tau levels in conventional plasma-based assays. Herein, we developed a colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode magnetic immunosensor for highly sensitive, specific, and robust detection of p-tau396,404 in whole blood samples. The detection assay was based on an immunoreaction between p-tau396,404 proteins, wherein antibody-modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles act as recognition elements to capture p-tau396,404 in blood, and then horseradish peroxidase- and Raman tags label the corresponding paired antibody as a reporter to provide high signal-to-noise ratios for the immunosensor. This dual-mode immunosensor achieved identified as low as 1.5 pg/mL of p-tau396,404 in the blood in SERS mode and 24 pg/mL in colorimetric mode by the naked eye. More importantly, this immunosensor rapidly and accurately distinguished AD patients from healthy individuals based on blood p-tau396,404 levels, and also had the potential to distinguish AD patients of different severities. Therefore, the dual-mode immunosensor is promising for rapid clinical diagnosis of AD, especially in large-scale AD screening.

Abstract
Arrayed resonant cavity with outstanding optical trapping ability have received increasing attention in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Here, a three-dimensional (3D) composite AgNPs-Al2O3/Au/inverted patterned sapphire substrate PMMA (IPSSPMMA) flexible resonant cavity system is theoretically and experimentally investigated as a flexible SERS sensor. With the help of an effective plasma coupling (localized surface plasmons (LSPs) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs)), as shown by the Finite Element Method, a resonant cavity between IPSSPMMA and a particle-film nanostructure is created. Moreover, the proposed fabrication scheme can be easily used for large-scale fabrication. To measure the performance of IPSSPMMA, Rhodamine 6 G (R6G) and Crystalline violet (CV) were used as probe molecules with limit of detection (LOD) of 6.01 × 10-12 M and 5.36 × 10-10 M, respectively, and enhancement factors (EF) of R6G up to 8.6 × 109. Besides, in-situ detection of CV on the surface of aquatic products with a LOD of 3.96 × 10-5 M, enables highly sensitive in-situ detection of surface analytes. The Raman performance and in-situ detection results demonstrate that the proposed flexible compositing resonant cavity system has the advantages of ultra-sensitivity, stability, uniformity, and reproducibility, and has great potential for applications in the food safety field.

Abstract
Respiratory viruses usually induced similar clinical symptoms at early infection. Herein, we presented a multichannel surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based lateral flow immunoassay (SERS-based LFA) using high-performance magnetic SERS tags for the simultaneous ultrasensitive detection of respiratory viruses, namely influenza A virus (H1N1), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in biological samples. As-prepared magnetic SERS tags can directly enrich and capture target viruses without pretreatment of samples, avoiding the interference of impurities in the samples as well as improving the sensitivity. With the capture-detection method, the detection limits of the proposed assay reached 85 copies mL-1, 8 pg mL-1, and 8 pg mL-1 for H1N1, SARS-CoV-2 and RSV, respectively. Moreover, the detection properties of the proposed method for target viruses in throat swab samples were verified, suggesting its remarkable potential for the early and rapid differential diagnosis of respiratory viruses.

Abstract
Suspension arrays are a critical components of next generation multiplexed detection technologies. Current fluorescence suspension arrays are limited by a multiplexed coding ceiling and difficulties with ultrasensitive detection. Raman mode is a promising substitute, but the complex spectral peak distributions and extremely weak intrinsic signal intensity severely diminish Raman signal performance in suspension arrays. To address these limitations, we constructed a Raman suspension array system using plasmonic microbeads as barcode substrates and Au nanoflowers as reporter carriers. The well-designed shell morphology and plasmonic microbead composition enabled significant surface enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) such that we were able to adjust silent region Raman-coding intensity levels. Due to synergistic SERS effects from the plasmonic shell and the multi-branched Au nanoflower nanostructure, the reporting signal was greatly improved, enabling ultrasensitive detection of 5-plexed lung cancer markers. Detection in patient serum samples demonstrated good consistency with the standard electrochemiluminescence method. Thus, this silent region SERS barcode-based suspension array is a developmental advance for modern multiplexed biodetection, potentially providing a powerful early disease screening and diagnosis tool.

Abstract
A strategy for building ring-like deposit surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors with the coffee ring effect through the functional modification of the silica nanoparticle surface encapsulated by free-tagged Ag nanoparticles is addressed along with their applications in the SERS-based detection and degradation of target species, including paraquat, diquat, and their free radicals. The nanogap formed by two interparticles with SERS hotspots provides a gigantic amplification signal for the Raman scattering intensity of the analyte molecule located approximately at the hotspots. The enhanced Raman spectrum signals of these target analytes were achieved through the hotspot region of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) located on the embankment formed by self-aggregation of SiO2@Ag nanoparticles due to the coffee ring effect. Meanwhile, the intrinsic properties of Ag nanoparticles embedded onto the silica surface were applied to photocatalytically degrade the target analytes by harvesting energy from sunlight. The SERS sensor detected the analytes down to 10-9 M in the aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this work, a series of F-doped SnO2/Ag/zeolite imidazole framework (FTO/Ag/ZIF-8) sandwich structure have been successfully fabricated via a magnetic sputtering method and serve as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. The magnetic sputtering time of Ag was adjusted to obtain the optimal SERS substrate. The commonly used 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules was selected for the SERS experiment. When the sputtering time of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) was 120 s, the FTO/Ag/ZIF-8 substrate showed the maximum SERS performance. In the system, the electromagnetic mechanism (EM) and charge-transfer (CT) enhancement mechanism have synergistic effect on the SERS phenomenon. Ag NPs was used to generate electromagnetic hot spots, which was beneficial to the EM mechanism. ZIF-8 could adsorb and capture more 4-MBA probe molecules to the hotspots. At the same time, CT happened between Ag, ZIF-8, and 4-MBA probe molecules, which was attribute to the CM mechanism. The enhancement factor (EF) of the composite SERS substrate was as high as 7.67 × 106. The detection limit of the substrate can reach 10-9 M of 4-MBA probe molecules. Moreover, the SERS templates showed good stability, the SERS signals almost unchanged after naturally kept for 6 months. Besides, due to the high sensitivity and good stability of the substrates, this work might broaden the potential practical application of SERS.

Abstract
Abundant immunological assays currently exist for detecting pathogens and identifying infected individuals, making detection of diseases at early stages integral to preventing their spread, together with the consequent emergence of global health crises. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a test characterized by simplicity, low cost, and quick results. Furthermore, LFIA testing does not need well-trained individuals or laboratory settings. Therefore, it has been serving as an attractive tool that has been extensively used during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here, the LFIA strip's available formats, reporter systems, components, and preparation are discussed. Moreover, this review provides an overview of the current LFIAs in detecting infectious viral antigens and humoral responses to viral infections.

Abstract
Biosensors have been used for a remarkable array of applications, including infectious diseases, environmental monitoring, cancer diagnosis, food safety, and numerous others. In particular, the global COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a need for rapid tests, so the type of biosensor that has gained considerable interest recently are immunoassays, which are used for rapid diagnostics. The performance of paper-based lateral flow and dipstick immunoassays is influenced by the physical properties of the nanoparticles (NPs), NP-antibody conjugates, and paper substrate. Many materials innovations have enhanced diagnostics by increasing sensitivity or enabling unique readouts. However, negative side effects can arise at the interface between the biological sample and biomolecules and the NP or paper substrate, such as non-specific adsorption and protein denaturation. In this Perspective, we discuss the immunoassay components and highlight chemistry and materials innovations that can improve sensitivity. We also explore the range of bio-interface issues that can present challenges for immunoassays.

ago, in recent years the integration of novel nanomaterials as signal
transducers or receptor immobilization platforms has brought improved
analytical capabilities. In this Review, we present how nanomaterial-based
LFAs can address the inherent challenges of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics
such as sensitivity enhancement, lowering of detection limits, multiplexing,
and quantification of analytes in complex samples. Specifically, we
highlight the strategies that can synergistically solve the limitations
of current LFAs and that have proven commercial feasibility. Finally,
we discuss the barriers toward commercialization and the next generation
of LFAs.

NANO CONVERGENCE 2022; 9:39.

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

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 435:129082.

Abstract
Multimodal lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has displayed its potential to improve practicability and elasticity of point-of-care testing. Herein, multifunctional core-shell-shell Au@Pt@Ag NPs loaded with dual-layer Raman reporter molecules of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) with a characteristic combination of color-photothermal-Raman performance were constructed for colorimetric LFIA (CM-LFIA), photothermal LFIA (PT-LFIA) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based LFIA (SERS-LFIA), respectively. The highly specific nanoprobes, being obtained through the combination of the resulted dual-layer DTNB modified Au@Pt@Ag NPs with the antibody, were triumphantly utilized in exploring multimodal LFIA with one visual qualitative and two optional quantitative modes with excellent sensing sensitivity. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for the model hazardous analyte dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) were 1.0 ng mL-1 for CM-LFIA, 0.42 ng mL-1 for PT-LFIA, and 0.013 ng mL-1 for SERS-LFIA, three of which were over 100-fold, 200-fold and 7 000-fold more sensitive than conventional visual AuNPs-based LFIA, respectively. In addition, the quantitative PT-LFIA and SERS-LFIA sensors worked well in spiked real samples with acceptable recoveries of 96.2 - 106.7% and 98.2 - 105.2%, respectively. This assay demonstrated that the developed multimodal LFIA had a great potential to be a powerful tool for accurate tracing hazardous analytes in complex samples.

Abstract
Bacteria, viruses, and parasites are harmful microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Early detection of diseases is critical to prevent disease transmission and provide epidemic preparedness, as these can cause widespread deaths and public health crises, particularly in resource-limited countries. Lateral flow assay (LFA) systems are simple-to-use, disposable, inexpensive diagnostic devices to test biomarkers in blood and urine samples. Thus, LFA has recently received significant attention, especially during the pandemic. Here, first of all, the design principles and working mechanisms of existing LFA methods are examined. Then, current LFA implementation strategies are presented for communicable disease diagnoses, including COVID-19, zika and dengue, HIV, hepatitis, influenza, malaria, and other pathogens. Furthermore, this review focuses on an overview of current problems and accessible solutions in detecting infectious agents and diseases by LFA, focusing on increasing sensitivity with various detection methods. In addition, future trends in LFA-based diagnostics are envisioned.

Abstract
The continuing accumulation of mutations in the RNA genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus generates an endless succession of highly contagious variants that cause concern around the world due to their antibody resistance and the failure of current diagnostic techniques to detect them in a timely manner. Raman spectroscopy represents a promising alternative to variants detection and recognition techniques, thanks to its ability to provide a characteristic spectral fingerprint of the biological samples examined under all circumstances. In this work we exploit the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties of a silver dendrite layer to explore, for the first time to our knowledge, the distinctive features of the Omicron variant genome. We obtain a complex spectral signal of the Omicron variant genome where the fingerprints of nucleobases in nucleosides are clearly unveiled and assigned in detail. Furthermore, the fractal SERS layer offers the presence of confined spatial regions in which the analyte remains trapped under hydration conditions. This opens up the prospects for a prompt spectral identification of the genome in its physiological habitat and for a study on its activity and variability.

Abstract
Biosensors, especially those with a SERS readout, are required for an early and precise healthcare diagnosis. Unreproducible SERS platforms hamper clinical SERS. Here we report a synthetic procedure to obtain stabile, reproducible and robust highly-SERS performing nanocomposites for labelling. We controlled the NPs agglomeration and codification which resulted in an increased number of hot spots, thus exhibiting reproducible and superior Raman enhancement. We studied fundamental aspects affecting the plasmonic thiol bond resulting in pH exhibiting a determining role. We validated their biosensing performance by designing a SERS-based detection assay model for SARS-CoV-2. The limit of detection of our assay detecting the spike RBD was below 10 ng/mL.

Abstract
We developed surface-enhanced Raman scattering-lateral flow immunoassay (SERS-LFIA) biosensor strips based on SiO2@Au nanoparticles (NPs) for the specific and highly sensitive detection of ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), and botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A). SiO2@Au NPs were used to prepare SERS tags with useful properties, such as light weight, uniform particle size, good dispersion, and high SERS performance. The detection limit of the SERS-LFIA strips developed herein for ricin, SEB, and BoNT/A was 0.1, 0.05, and 0.1 ng/mL. Their sensitivity was 100-fold higher than that of colloidal gold-LFIA strips, and the same batch of strips had good repeatability. Moreover, the test was completed within 15 min, indicating that the strips are suitable for the rapid and on-site detection of the said toxins. The SERS-LFIA strips based on SiO2@Au NPs developed herein for the detection of toxins are important to the prevention of bioterrorism attacks.

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

Abstract
The accurate detection of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins (SEs) is vital for food safety owing to their high pathogenicity, which may be performed with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) if SERS-active nanostructures are used. Herein, a Au-Ag Janus nanoparticle (NPs)/perovskite composite-engineered SERS immunoassay was developed for SEC detection. Plasmonic Au-Ag Janus NPs demonstrated inherent SERS activity from the 2-mercaptobenzoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid ligands. CsPbBr3@mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs) were prepared and transformed into CsPb2Br5@MSNs in the aqueous phase. Paired SEC antibody-antigen-driven plasmonic Au-Ag Janus NP-CsPb2Br5@MSN composites were prepared. They showed amplified SERS activity, attributed to the depressed plasmonic decay due to electromagnetic field enhancement and the electron transfer mechanism. A positive relationship was established between SERS signals of composites and the SEC concentration. An additive-free SERS immunoassay was developed for simple, sensitive, and reproducible SEC detection. This study will be extended to develop multiple additive-free SERS-active plasmonic NP/perovskite composites that will open up the possibility of exploring more SERS detection probes for food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Over the past decade, paper-based microfluidic devices have become popular for their simplicity and ability to conduct diagnostic tests at a low cost. An important class of diagnostic assays that paper-based analytical devices have been used for is immunoassays. The lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), of which the home pregnancy test is the most prominent example, has been one of the most commercially successful membrane-based diagnostic tests. Yet, the analytical sensitivity of LFIAs is lower than the corresponding laboratory technique called ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay). As a consequence, traditional LFIAs fail to deliver on the promise of bedside diagnostic testing for many applications. Recognizing this shortcoming, several new developments have been made by researchers to enhance the sensitivity of membrane-based immunoassays. In this chapter, we present the various strategies that have been employed to this end. In the end, we present a brief SWOT analysis to guide future work in this area.

Abstract
Mycotoxins, the small size secondary metabolites of fungi, have posed a threat to the safety of medicine, food and public health. Therefore, it is essential to create sensitive and effective determination of mycotoxins. Based on the special affinity between antibody and antigen, immunoassay has been proved to be a powerful technology for the detection of small analytes. However, the tedious preparation and instability of conventional antibodies restrict its application on easy and fast mycotoxins detection. By virtue of simplicity, ease of use, and lower cost, phage display library provides novel choices for antibodies or hapten conjugates, and lead random peptide or recombinant antibody to becoming the promising and environmental friendly immune-reagents in the next generation of immunoassays. This review briefly describes the latest developments on mycotoxins detection using M13 phage display, mainly focusing on the recent applications of phage display technology employed in mycotoxins detection, including the introduction of phage and phage display, the types of phage displayed peptide/recombinant antibody library, random peptides/recombinant antibodies-based immunoassays, as well as simultaneous determination of multiple mycotoxins.

Abstract
Early specific detection through indicative biomarkers and precise visualization of lesion sites are urgent requirements for clinical disease diagnosis. However, current detection and optical imaging methods are insufficient for these demands. Molecular imaging technologies are being intensely studied for reliable medical diagnosis. In the past several decades, molecular imaging with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has significant advances from analytical chemistry to medical science. SERS is the inelastic scattering generated from the interaction between photons and substances, presenting molecular structure information. The outstanding SERS virtues of high sensitivity, high specificity, and resistance to biointerference are highly advantageous for biomarker detection in a complex biological matrix. In this work, we review recent progress on the applications of SERS imaging in clinical diagnostics. With the assistance of SERS imaging, the detection of disease-related proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and pH of the cellular microenvironment can be implemented for adjuvant medical diagnosis. Moreover, multimodal imaging integrates the high penetration and high speed of other imaging modalities and imaging precision of SERS imaging, resulting in final complete and accurate imaging outcomes and exhibiting robust potential in the discrimination of pathological tissues and surgical navigation. As a promising molecular imaging technology, SERS imaging has achieved remarkable performance in clinical diagnostics and the biomedical realm. It is expected that this review will provide insights for further development of SERS imaging and promote the rapid progress and successful translation of advanced molecular imaging with clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
As an immune response to COVID-19 infection, patients develop SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM/IgG antibodies. Here, we compare the performance of a conventional lateral flow assay (LFA) with a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based LFA test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM/IgG in sera of COVID-19 patients. Sensitive detection of IgM might enable early serological diagnosis of acute infections. Rapid detection in serum using a custom-built SERS reader is at least an order of magnitude more sensitive than the conventional LFAs with naked-eye detection. For absolute quantification and the determination of the limit of detection (LOD), a set of reference measurements using purified (total) IgM in buffer was performed. In this purified system, the sensitivity of SERS detection is even 7 orders of magnitude higher: the LOD for SERS was ca. 100 fg/mL compared to ca. 1 μg/mL for the naked-eye detection. This outlines the high potential of SERS-based LFAs in point-of-care testing once the interference of serum components with the gold conjugates and the nitrocellulose membrane is minimized.

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

Abstract
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection is one of the most contagious diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in hospitalised patients. Accurate diagnosis can slow its spread by determining the most effective treatment. Herein, we report a novel testing platform as a proof-of-concept for the selective, sensitive, rapid and cost-effective diagnosis of C. diff infection (CDI) based on a duplex measurement. This was achieved by detecting two specific biomarkers, surface layer protein A (SlpA) and toxin B (ToxB), using a surface enhanced Raman scattering-based lateral flow assay (SERS-based LFA). The simultaneous duplex detection of SlpA with ToxB has not been described for the clinical diagnosis of CDI previously. The SlpA biomarker "AKDGSTKEDQLVDALA" was first reported by our group in 2018 as a species-specific identification tool. The second biomarker, ToxB, is the essential virulence biomarker of C. diff pathogenic strains and is required to confirm true infection pathogenicity. The proposed SERS-based LFA platform enabled rapid duplex detection of SlpA and ToxB on separate test lines using a duplex LF test strip within 20 minutes. The use of a handheld Raman spectrometer to scan test lines allowed for the highly sensitive quantitative detection of both biomarkers with a lowest observable concentration of 0.01 pg μL-1. The use of a handheld device in this SERS-based LFA instead of benchtop machine paves the way for rapid, selective, sensitive and cheap clinical evaluation of CDI at the point of care (POC) with minimal sample backlog.

Abstract
The timely biochemical detection of environmental pollutants or infectious disease is a predominant challenge for global health and people living in remote areas. However, the energy supply is still difficult for both the pretreatment and test steps, especially for diagnostics in resource-limited environments or outdoor point-of-care testing. Herein, we demonstrate a hand-powered triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) system, which can simultaneously accomplish centrifugal pretreatment and analysis without an additional power supply. The complete separation of plasma from red blood cells can be achieved within 1.5 min at an operation frequency of 1 Hz. Besides, according to the impressive high rotational speed of 7500 rpm, the rotating mechanical energy can be efficiently recycled by the TENG to power different electronic devices, such as an electronic watch or thermometer. As a demonstration, the pretreatment of lake water and the detection of hydrogen peroxide contained in it has been realized. The combination of the system with different types of sensors will further promote its applications in multifarious biochemical detections. Moreover, this TENG system is effective, field-portable and ultra-low cost, and is promising for battery-free point-of-care diagnostic systems for outdoor or harsh environments. A hand-powered TENG system has been developed to kill two birds with one stone, simultaneously realizing centrifugation and rotary mechanical energy harvesting. Then, centrifugation of lake water and detection of H2O2 in it has been realized.![]()

Abstract
As a paper-based analytical platform, lateral flow assay (LFA) gets benefit from the rapid analysis, low cost, high selectivity, good stability, and user-friendliness, and thus has been widely used in rapid screening or assisted diagnosis. Nevertheless, LFA still suffers from low detection sensitivity via the naked eye, limiting its applications to qualitative and semi-quantitative tests. To enhance the signal readout, various nanoparticle signal tags have been employed to replace traditional colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), such as fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs), magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and Raman reporter-labeled nanoparticles. In particular, Raman reporter-labeled nanoparticles are extremely sensitive due to remarkable signal enhancement effect on metal surface. However, the application of LFA is still hampered by the poor stability of Raman reporter-labeled nanoparticles. Herein, we developed an in situ Raman enhancement strategy to create a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal on the AuNPs, shortened as "i-SERS," which not only preserves the original advantages of the colloidal gold strip (AuNPs-LFA), but also realizes highly sensitive and quantitative detection. We applied the i-SERS for procalcitonin (PCT) detection. The experimental process takes only 16 min, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.03 ng mL-1, far below the value using AuNPs-LFA. These results indicate that i-SERS assay was highly sensitive and suitable for the rapid detection of PCT.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is an invasive opportunistic foodborne pathogen and its routine surveillance is critical for protecting the food supply and public health. The traditional detection methods are time-consuming and require trained personnel. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), on the other hand, is an easy-to-perform, rapid point-of-care test and has been widely used as an inexpensive surveillance tool. In recent times, nucleic acid-based lateral flow immunoassays (NALFIA) are also developed to improve sensitivity and specificity. A significant improvement in lateral flow-based assays has been reported in recent years, especially the ligands (antibodies, nucleic acids, aptamers, bacteriophage), labeling molecules, and overall assay configurations to improve detection sensitivity, specificity, and automated interpretation of results. In most commercial applications, LFIA has been used with enriched food/environmental samples to ensure detection of live cells thus prolonging the assay time to 24-48 h; however, with the recent improvement in LFIA sensitivity, results can be obtained in less than 8 h with shortened and improved enrichment practices. Incorporation of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and/or immunomagnetic separation could significantly improve LFIA sensitivity for near-real-time point-of-care detection of L. monocytogenes for food safety and public health applications.
