Despite numerous attempts to fabricate the core–shell nanoparticles, novel, simple, and low-cost approaches are still required to produce these efficient nanosystems. In this study, we propose the synthesis of bimetallic core–shell nanoparticles of gold (AuNP) and silver (AgNP) nanostructures via a bioinspired polydopamine (PDOP) layer and their employment as a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform. Herein, the PDOP layer was used as an interface between nanostructures as well as stabilizing and reducing agents for the deposition of silver ions onto the AuNPs. UV-vis absorption spectra and electron microscope images confirmed the deposition of the silver ions and the formation of core–shell nanoparticles. SERS activity tests indicated that both the PDOP thickness and silver deposition time are the dominant parameters that determine the SERS performances of the proposed core–shell system. In comparison to bare AuNPs, more than three times higher SERS signal intensity was obtained with an enhancement factor of 3.5 × 105.

ABSTRACT We developed an innovative approach that couples headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect a volatile pesticide (i.e., fonofos) in a liquid complex matrix (i.e., apple juice). A gold nanoparticles–coated fiber was fabricated by reducing gold(III) on a chemically etched stainless steel wire to extract pesticide, using SPME. The fabricated fibers were then tested by a headspace-SPME method and a dip-SPME method, followed by SERS detection of fonofos in water and apple juice samples. Using the headspace-SPME method, we can detect as low as 5 ppb of fonofos in water and apple juice, compared with the dip-SPME method, which cannot detect lower than 10 ppb in water and 50 ppb in apple juice. This study demonstrated the potential capability of the headspace-SPME-SERS method for rapid (within 30 min) and sensitive detection of volatile and vaporizable compounds in complex matrices. The developed method could be a potential alternative approach to the gas chromatography method. Future work is needed to optimize the fiber by minimizing signal variation, and it should be tested in a variety of targeted compounds and matrices.

Aim: We aim to demonstrate that a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) probe can be effectively used for protein detection in adrenal tumors. Materials & methods: The SERS probe method, which uses Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles conjugated with a CgA antibody and a SERS reporter, was applied to detect CgA in adrenal tumors. Results: Our data reveal that the results of the CgA-SERS probe method were almost identical to those of western blot and superior to those of traditional immunohistochemistry. Conclusion: This study offers a novel strategy to detect CgA in adrenal tumors and provides more reliable protein test results than traditional immunohistochemistry analysis for adrenal pathologists, meaning that it might be a better clinical reference for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
