Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Biotoxins pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health, necessitating advanced detection methods.
  • Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) shows promise for biotoxin detection but faces challenges with low Raman activity molecules.
  • Existing methods may lack the sensitivity and specificity required for complex sample analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an ultrasensitive, clean-background SERS platform for detecting key biotoxins.
  • To establish a reliable method for differentiating structurally similar toxins.
  • To validate the platform's performance using real-world samples and established analytical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a novel AgNPs@Ag2O@AgCl coffee ring SERS (CC-SERS) platform.
  • Optimization of surface ligands and laser wavelength to achieve a clean SERS background.
  • Utilized principal component analysis (PCA) for differentiating between biotoxins.
  • Validated results using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and HPLC-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS).

Main Results:

  • The CC-SERS platform demonstrated ultrasensitive detection of neo-saxitoxin (neo-STX), saxitoxin (STX), microcystin-LR (MC-LR), and microcystin-RR (MC-RR).
  • Achieved low limits of detection (LOD): 1.3 nM for neo-STX, 3.3 nM for STX, and 2.2 nM for MC-LR/MC-RR.
  • PCA effectively differentiated between highly similar biotoxins.
  • Platform performance was validated against HPLC and HPLC-MS in real samples.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CC-SERS platform offers a highly sensitive and specific method for biotoxin detection.
  • This technology shows significant promise for ensuring food safety and environmental monitoring.
  • The clean-background approach overcomes limitations of traditional SERS for analyzing low Raman-active biotoxins.
