Summary
A new SERS-active substrate of colloidal AgBr nanoparticles (AgBr CNPs) was prepared by using a simple method of electrolysis. By the SERS measurements of methyl orange (MO) based on the AgBr colloid, the AgBr colloid was shown to be an excellent SERS substrate for the detection of MO. Meanwhile, Raman frequencies of the MO molecule were calculated by using the method of DFT-B3LYP/6-31G*It was found that the DFT calculation of Raman spectrum matches well with the experimental results, whereas the SERS spectra did not appear with Ag colloids that were made by chemical reduction method.

Summary
Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been intensively studied to find its applications for ultra-sensitive biomolecule detection system. However, for practical applications of SERS-encoded nanoprobes, it is necessary to characterize them in respect of signal stability, reproducibility and so on. For example, SERS enhancement factor ranges from 10^4 to 10^14 by the size, shape and chemical composition of metal nanoparticle, SERS intensity is intrinsically heterogeneous hindering its application to quantification. Previously, our group reported silica-based SERS-encoded nanoprobes called SERS Dot, as basic research for the quantitative application, we characterized optical properties of the SERS-encoded nanoprobe.

Summary
The detection of pathogenic bacteria bears important implications in both public health and security. Routine identification of bacteria involves biochemical characterization of cultured microorganisms taken from the contaminated sources. Clinical analysis requires a biomass of ~ 10^8 cells from the cultured medium for biochemical assay. Pathogen screening by means of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) provides a faster and more sensitive alternative route towards the identification and detection of pathogenic bacteria. Here, we will outline the use of novel nanoaggregate embedded beads (NAEB) as ultra-sensitive SERS nanosensors for multiplexed detection of food borne pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium.

Summary
Incorporation of lanthanides into coordination compounds as potential medicinal agents, both therapeutic and diagnostic, is the most recent development that is yielding rich rewards [1]. Here we report the predicted structural characterization of the new prepared Dy- and La-acenocoumarol (4-hydroxy-3[1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxobutyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one) complexes supported by the vibrational analysis. Furthermore we applied here surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in order to evaluate the possibility of the technique to detect trace amounts of the rare-earth-acenocoumarol complexes and to investigate the adsorption behaviour of the complex to the Ag colloidal nanoparticles.

Summary
Surface enhanced resonance Raman (SERR) spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements were performed to study human Sulfite Oxidase (hSO) immobilized on nanostructured silver electrodes coated by a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of marcapatanes. Upon immobilization an electrical communication between the Cyt b5 domain and the electrode could be achieved such that it was possible to monitor the catalytic current under turnover conditions. SERR spectroscopy yielded detailed information about the redox state and structure of the heme center in the Cyt b5 domain. The study of hSO was supplemented by the investigation of the isolated Cyt b5 domain.

Summary
This paper reports a novel method for the highly sensitive cancer marker diagnosis using a gold-patterned microarray chip and a surface-enhanced Raman scattering imaging (SERSi). In this work, we designed and fabricated a conceptually new gold-patterned glass microarray chip. Here, gold patterned hydrophilic spots are completely isolated from hydrophobic surfaces, and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic hybrid property of the microarrays greatly improves the biomolecule deposition, spot uniformity, replication, and reproducibility. Also, SERSi technique is compensate the reliability problem in conventional SERS detection method. This novel gold-array chip and SERSi technique have been successfully used for a highly sensitive clinical diagnosis.

Summary
Raman spectroscopy has found widespread use in pharmaceutical applications. Here we report quantification of isomer mixture of an active pharmaceutical substance by SERS. Entacapone is an active substance used in treatment of Parkinson’s disease. It exists in two isomeric forms Z and E , both showings good SERS spectra, using colloidal silver substrate. The E isomer has a higher affinity for the silver substrate. Mentioned difference gives an opportunity for SERS quantification of the isomer mixture. Successful quantification of isomer mixtures in between 0 and 100% w/w has been performed using SERS technique, which is suitable for in-line reaction monitoring.

Summary
In this work we study adsorption mechanism of benzylidene rhodanines on silver and gold nanocolloidal particles by using Surface Enhancement Raman Spectroscopy. The comparison of normal and SER spectra of all the compounds shows enhancement of bands that originate from the stretching modes of the phenyl and heterocyclic rings upon interaction with metal surfaces. The differences between SER spectra collected on silver and gold colloids are negligible.

View Abstract PDF
Summary
Solid-phase synthesis is an important tool for the preparation of DNA, peptides and carbohydrates as well as compounds used in supramolecular and medicinal chemistry. Usually, the solid support is a modified polystyrene resin with a loading of 100 pmol per bead. Thus, the analysis of solid-phase-bound compounds directly on a single bead poses a challenge. We recently demonstrated the direct, label-free and surface-selective detection of solid-phase-bound compounds via SERS. In this contribution we show an integrated approach without the need for adding nanoparticles externally: both solid support and the SERS-active substrate are combined into a single functional unit.

Summary
Functionalized metal nanoparticles can be used for the selective localization of biomolecules such as proteins in cells and tissue specimens with SERS as the read-out method (SERS microscopy). Here we present a direct and fast route to SERS labels, comprising silica-encapsulated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of Raman reporter molecules on Au/Ag nanoshells. The surface of the nanoparticles is rendered vitreophilic by using modified mercaptobenzoic acid derivatives containing a terminal SiO2 precursor. The SAM of these modified Raman reporter molecules provides an intense SERS signal and the terminal SiO2 precursors render the surface vitreophilic for a direct silica-encapsulation.

Summary
In this work we report an accurate synthesis of a SERS nanosensor based on nanoscale gold structures obtained by Electron Beam Lithography, suitable for environmental analysis. The aim of this sensor is to detect Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in marine environment at very low concentrations. Our first results strongly suggest that SERS intensity of naphthalene depends on gold nanostructures, prepared for example from colloid solutions. Indeed strong SERS intensities are measured on nanocylinder structures obtained by EBL. In addition, using a specific monoclonal antibody functionalised on gold, our SERS nanosensors exhibit a strong specificity for PAH detection.

Summary
As results of its sensitivity to chirality, Raman Optical Activity is powerful probe of the structure and behaviour of biomolecules in aqueous solution. The conditions of high concentration and long data collection time required for ROA limits its application, the combination of ROA with SERS in the form of SEROA could be a solution for widening the application of ROA. The generation of reliable SEROA spectra of biomolecules has been problematic due to non-homogenous colloidal systems forming. In order to prove the SEROA technique, D- and L-ribose have been measured in the presence of silver citrate-reduced colloids and polycarbophil polymer.

Emory University, Atlanta, GA

View Abstract PDF
Summary
We have developed a new class of biocompatible and nontoxic SERS nanoparticles for in-vivo tumor targeting and detection. A major finding is that small-molecule Raman reporters such as organic dyes are not displaced but are stabilized by thiol-modified polyethylene glycols. These pegylated SERS nanoparticles are considerably brighter than semiconductor quantum dots with light emission in the near-infrared window. When conjugated to tumor targeting ligands such as single chain variable fragment (ScFv) antibodies, the conjugated nanoparticles are able to target tumor biomarkers such as epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) on human cancer cells and in xenograft tumor models.

The effects of deposition time of silver films on morphology, optical properties and SERS activity were investigated by FE-SEM, UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. Then, the optimized silver films were used for detecting trace anthrax biomarker-dipicolinic acid (DPA) and an incapacitant-fentanyl. The limits of detection for DPA and fentanyl achieved 60 μM and 150 μM, respectively within 20 minutes.

Summary
There is interest in the development of highly sensitive, molecular specific detection techniques in miniaturised separation systems such as capillary based liquid chromatography. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising detection technique but in order to be truly useful, a reliable analysis system must be achieved. Without such robustness SERS detection will not gain widespread acceptance. Here we report a novel colloidal synthesis method where hydroxylamine based silver colloids are formed in the presence of CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots (QDs). The QDs act as a co-reducer and form a link separator between the colloid particles establishing more controlled enhancement.

View Abstract PDF
Summary
We investigate the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of the dye Janus Green in aqueous TiO2 suspension in different pH values by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for the analysis of the solution phase and by FT-Raman to the analysis of the catalyst surface as a function of UV irradiation. Changes in Raman spectra of catalyst surface and bulk solution during photocatalytic degradation suggest that intermediates formed at the semiconductor/water interface differ from those formed in aqueous solution, and also depend on pH. In addition, it can be suggested that the beginning of photocatalytic process occurs in different phases depending on pH value.

Summary
SERS has been a promising candidate for various applications in chemical-biochemical analysis, nanostructure characterization and biomedical applications. Especially, SERS immunoassays based on antigen-antibody bonding have been studied for biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. To demonstrate the possible application of SERS immunoassay for detection of antigen (PSA) in cancer cells, we performed the sandwich type SERS immoassay process. We prepared a monolayer of gold nanoparticles on the 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS)-derivatized surface of a glass slide by using the self-assenbled monolayer technique, to capture antigen onto the immobilized layer of antibodies on the gold substrate.
