Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers high sensitivity for detecting trace analytes in medicinal and environmental samples.
  • Traditional SERS methods often require complex instrumentation and sophisticated operational procedures.
  • Detecting ultralow concentrations necessitates advancements in SERS techniques for practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an ultrasensitive and facile SERS approach for detecting trace analytes.
  • To improve the detection limit of SERS by optimizing nanoparticle concentration and analyte adsorption.
  • To provide a cost-effective and user-friendly alternative to existing SERS detection systems.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step centrifugation method was employed to enhance SERS detection.
  • The first centrifugation step concentrates silver nanoparticles and removes smaller ones, favoring larger, highly active nanoparticles.
  • The second centrifugation step concentrates the analyte-nanoparticle complex, increasing analyte concentration and hot-spot formation.

Main Results:

  • The developed method achieved an ultrasensitive detection limit of 500 fM for phenformin hydrochloride and risperidone.
  • The two-step centrifugation process significantly increased the SERS enhancement factor.
  • The approach demonstrated effectiveness for both acidic and alkaline analytes.

Conclusions:

  • The two-step centrifugation method provides a facile and ultrasensitive SERS detection strategy.
  • This technique overcomes the limitations of traditional methods, such as the need for sophisticated instruments and operations.
  • The facile SERS approach holds significant potential for the detection of trace components in various fields.
