We reported on a study upon a Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrate produced from a large area multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films decorated with Au nanoparticles. The morphology and spectrum of the MWCNTs/Au composite structure was characterized with scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometer. The SERS signals of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) absorbed on the substrate were improved, which could contribute to the enlarged surface area for adsorption of molecules and Localized Plasmon Resonance Effect. The results indicated that it is potential to produce sensitive SERS substrates via further fine-tuning of size, shape of the nanostructure.

Cancer is a malignant disease that seriously affects human health and life. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can significantly improve the survival rate of cancer patients. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an optical technology that can detect and image samples at the single-molecule level. It has the advantages of rapidity, high specificity, high sensitivity and no damage to the sample. The performance of SERS is highly dependent on the properties, size and morphology of the SERS substrate. Preparation of SERS substrates with good reproducibility and chemical stability is a key factor in realizing the wide application of SERS technology in cancer diagnosis. In this review we provide a detailed presentation of the latest research on SERS in cancer diagnosis and the detection of cancer biomarkers, mainly focusing on nanotechnological approaches in cancer diagnosis by using SERS. We also consider the future development of nanostructure-based SERS in cancer diagnosis.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors are constructed from metallic plasmonic nanostructures providing high sensitivity and spectral reproducibility. In many cases, irradiation of the SERS substrate by the laser beam leads to an increase of the local temperature and consequently to thermal degradation of metallic nanostructure itself and/or adsorbed analyte. We report here a “bottom-up” technique to fabricate new thermally resistant gold “film over nanosphere” (FON) substrates for SERS. We elaborated the simple and straightforward method of preparation of homogeneously and closely packed monolayer of SiO2 nanoparticles (50 nm in diameter) and covered it by a thin (20 nm) layer of magnetron-sputtered gold. The spectral testing using biologically important molecules (methylene blue, cationic porphyrin, and fungicide 1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-2-thiol) proved a sensitivity and reproducibility of our AuSiO2 substrates. The main advantage of such SERS-active substrates is high thermal stability and low intensity of background and signal of graphitic carbon.
