Abstract:
The efficient and non-invasive collection of biological samples has become a critical challenge for the continued development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). When integrated with minimally invasive microneedle (MN) sampling technology, SERS enhances its applicability in real-time, non-invasive molecular detection. This review focuses on the latest advances in MN-based SERS sensors. Firstly, a comprehensive summary is presented of MN types and research progress in the design and engineering of SERS-active MNs. Then, the sampling method of SERS MNs and the MN-based SERS detection mode are also described in detail. Finally, the applications of SERS MNs in fields such as disease diagnosis, drug monitoring, and food safety are highlighted. Additionally, current challenges are discussed and future development prospects are prospected with the aim of contributing to the design of MN-based SERS sensors for diverse applications.
