Article Abstract
The development of convenient assays for the determination of hydrazine (NH) has drawn significant attention due to the high toxicity of this substance. Herein, we developed a concise, rapid and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for NH detection based on alpha-cyclodextrin-silver nanoparticles (α-CD-AgNPs) modified by 4-mercaptobenzaldehyde (4-MBA). The 4-MBA molecules can specifically capture the NH molecules and undergo a Schiff base reaction. As a result, this induces the aggregation of nanoparticles and generates a new characteristic peak at 1529 cm that is attributed to CN and CC vibrations. Compared with noble metal nanoparticles, 4-MBA not only formed AgS bonds but could also be fixed in the cavity of cyclodextrin to produce a more stable and stronger SERS signal. The SERS intensity at 1529 cm and the logarithm of the concentration of NH presented a good linear relationship from 10 to 10 M with an unprecedented limit of detection (LOD) of 38 pM. The proposed SERS sensor exhibited satisfactory selectivity and reproducibility and was applied to detect NH in real and complex water samples. We expect this assay to be a promising alternative tool for the on-site detection of NH.

Silver nanoprisms (AgNPrs) are promising candidates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to their strong localized surface plasmon resonance and sharp tip geometry. In this study, AgNPrs were synthesized through a photochemical method by irradiating spherical silver nanoparticle seeds with 10 W green light-emitting diodes (LEDs; 520 ± 20 nm) for various periods of time up to 72 h. The growth mechanism was investigated through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy analyses, confirming the gradual transformation of spherical seeds into AgNPrs.

Single-cell surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for precision medicine owing to its label-free detection, ultrasensitivity, and unique molecular fingerprinting. Unlike conventional bulk analysis, it enables detailed characterization of cellular heterogeneity, with particular promise in circulating tumor cell (CTC) identification, tumor microenvironment (TME) metabolic profiling, subcellular imaging, and drug sensitivity assessment. Coupled with microfluidic droplet systems, SERS supports high-throughput single-cell analysis and multiparametric screening, while integration with complementary modalities such as fluorescence microscopy and mass spectrometry enhances temporal and spatial resolution for monitoring live cells.

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) has revolutionized nucleic acid detection owing to its isothermal simplicity. However, over two decades of clinical application have been hampered by off-target amplification and incompatibility with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Herein, a strategy, specifically cleavage of rationally designed DNA/RNA chimeric hairpin preprimer by dsDNA-targeted CRISPR/Cas12a to rlease ssRNA for initiating RCA (SCOPE-RCA), is proposed for nucleic acid identification of African swine fever virus (ASFV).

Integrating surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) into a single probe is a natural step forward for plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy (PES), as SEF enables enhanced fluorescent imaging for fast screening of targets, while SERS allows ultrasensitive trace molecular characterization with specificity. However, many challenges remain, e.g.

Detection of micro- and nanoplastic particles at extremely low concentrations in complex matrices is a critical goal in environmental science and regulatory frameworks. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) offers unique advantages for detecting molecular species in such mixtures, relying solely on their characteristic fingerprints. However, its application for plastic particles has been constrained due to weak analyte-substrate interactions.
