Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Thrombin is a key biomarker in hemostasis and thrombosis.
  • Sensitive detection of thrombin is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring coagulation disorders.
  • Existing detection methods often lack the required sensitivity or specificity for clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate and characterize a multicomponent nanostructure for sensitive thrombin detection.
  • To investigate the potential of gold nanorod-nanoparticle (AuNR-AuNP) composites as SERS aptasensors.
  • To achieve subnanomolar detection limits for thrombin in diluted human blood serum.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of AuNR-AuNP composite nanostructures.
  • Utilizing Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for signal amplification.
  • Employing aptamers for specific thrombin recognition.
  • Conducting simulations and experimental validation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized AuNR-AuNP composites with strong electromagnetic coupling at the junction.
  • Demonstrated a highly sensitive SERS aptasensor capable of detecting thrombin at subnanomolar concentrations.
  • Validated the sensor's performance in diluted human blood serum samples.

Conclusions:

  • AuNR-AuNP composites are effective platforms for developing ultrasensitive SERS aptasensors.
  • The electromagnetic coupling resonance at the nanorod-nanoparticle junction enhances SERS signals.
  • This nanostructure offers a promising approach for rapid and sensitive thrombin detection in clinical diagnostics.
