The heterogeneity of metal island films electrodeposited on conductive metal oxide modified internal reflection elements is shown to provide a variable ATR-SEIRAS (attenuated total reflection surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy) response. A self-assembled monolayer of a ferrocene-terminated thiol monolayer (FcC11SH) was formed on the gold islands covering a single substrate, which was measured using both a conventional spectrometer and a custom-built horizontal microscope. Cyclic voltammetry and ATR-SEIRAS results reveal that the FcC11SH modified substrate undergoes a reversible electron transfer and an associated re-orientation of both the ferrocene/ferrocenium headgroup and the hydrocarbon backbone. The magnitude of the absorption signal arising from the redox changes in the monolayer, as well as the IR signature arising from the ingress/egress of the perchlorate counterions, is shown to depend significantly on the size of the infrared beam spot when using a conventional FTIR spectrometer. By performing equivalent measurements on a horizontal microscope, the primary cause of the differences in the signal level is found to be the hetereogeneity in the density of gold islands on the conductive metal oxide.

A rapid and sensitive SEIRA-based method for SARS-CoV-2 detection is proposed and analyzed. The proposed method can effectively detect as low as 2.98 copies per μL (∼5 aM) SARS-CoV-2 viral genomic segment within 30 minutes.
