Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Open-channel and high-throughput detection are crucial for clinical diagnostics, biochemical analysis, cell culture, and food safety.
  • Current methods face limitations in sensitivity and sample volume requirements for microRNA detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel mini-pillar array for open-channel, high-throughput surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection of microRNA (miRNA).
  • To enhance the sensitivity and efficiency of miRNA detection using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mini-pillar platform with gold nanorods (Au NRs).

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a mini-pillar array using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a high-throughput platform.
  • Deposition of gold nanorods (Au NRs) on mini-pillars to create a SERS-active substrate.
  • Detection of breast cancer marker miRNA-1246 using the developed SERS system on an open-channel biological chip.

Main Results:

  • The mini-pillar array demonstrated effective anchoring and aggregation of microdroplets, reducing sample volume and ensuring homogeneous distribution.
  • Gold nanorod-coated pillars significantly enhanced SERS signal sensitivity compared to planar substrates.
  • Achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 10^-12 M for miRNA-1246, enabling sensitive, simultaneous, and specific detection.

Conclusions:

  • The mini-pillar array SERS system offers a promising approach for open-channel, high-throughput biomolecular detection.
  • This technology has significant potential for advancing biomedical point-of-care testing (POCT) and drug screening applications.
