Glyphosate (Gly) residues in agricultural products have a serious health risk, so it is urgent to seek a sensitive and convenient method for recognizing Gly residues in food. In this study, we proposed an electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) sensor of polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide/Ag/Cu (PANI/RGO/Ag/Cu) film to detect Gly residues. The EC-SERS sensor of PANI/RGO/Ag/Cu film had a large specific surface area, which could increase the binding sites of cu/Gly clathrates for boosting specifically its SERS signal. Moreover, Ag/Cu nanoparticles on the surface of film could effectively increase the differential pulse voltammetry signal and SERS signal of Gly molecules. The limit of detection of EC-SERS sensor to Gly could reach 1.9 nM. In addition, the EC-SERS sensor we prepared could also sensitively identify Gly residues on fresh fruit peels. The PANI/RGO/Ag/Cu film we proposed in this paper has great potential for selective and accuracy detecting Gly residues in agricultural products.

Bacteria are responsible for a plethora of infectious diseases, with potentially serious complications, including sepsis, especially in young, elderly, and immunocompromised populations. Quick and accurate bacterial detection is becoming critically important, in many areas, food safety, medical diagnostics, and public health. However, the currently available bacterial detection methods, such as plate culture, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and polymerase chain reaction, face limitations, being either too time consuming, too costly, or not diagnostically accurate.

A novel biosensing strategy based on the synergy of aptamer molecular recognition and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been developed to address the growing problem of groundwater and soil contamination by the organophosphorus pesticide diazinon (DZN). By combining a high-affinity aptamer with a plasmonic resonance-enhanced substrate, a SERS biosensing interface with single-molecule detection capability was successfully constructed, and the electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) method using AgNPs-modified screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) was also used for sensitive detection of DZN. The results showed that the constructed SERS aptamer sensor was able to specifically identify diazinon in the system where multiple interfering pesticides coexisted, and the detection limit of the sensor for diazinon was up to 5.

Routine analysis of food adulterants and pharmaceutical additives at the point of care is crucial for food safety and environmental protection. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based sensing has gained significant importance in various scientific and technological domains, including analytical chemistry, biomedical diagnostics, forensic science, drug discovery, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Electrochemical SERS (EC-SERS) enhances the technique by regulating surface charge, adsorption, desorption dynamics, and redox processes, improving signal intensity and selectivity.

Selectively trapping analytes in complex matrices to hotspots and performing sensitive detection is an extremely important topic in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection. Herein, a molecularly imprinted polymers-based electrochemical SERS (MIP-EC-SERS) sensor was proposed for detecting acetamiprid (AAP) residue. A polydopamine layer rich in imprinted cavities was fabricated on the surface of AuNPs/ITO, using an electropolymerization process, yielding a SERS substrate modified with MIP (MIP/AuNPs/ITO).
