Abstract
Advances in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection have helped to overcome the limitations of traditional in vitro diagnostic methods, such as fluorescence and chemiluminescence, owing to its high sensitivity and multiplex detection capability. However, for the implementation of SERS detection technology in disease diagnosis, a SERS-based assay platform capable of analyzing clinical samples is essential. Moreover, infectious diseases like COVID-19 require the development of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies that can rapidly and accurately determine infection status. As an effective assay platform, SERS-based bioassays utilize SERS nanotags labeled with protein or DNA receptors on Au or Ag nanoparticles, serving as highly sensitive optical probes. Additionally, a microdevice is necessary as an interface between the target biomolecules and SERS nanotags. This review aims to introduce various microdevices developed for SERS detection, available for POC diagnostics, including LFA strips, microfluidic chips, and microarray chips. Furthermore, the article presents research findings reported in the last 20 years for the SERS-based bioassay of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Finally, the prospects of SERS bioassays are discussed concerning the integration of SERS-based microdevices and portable Raman readers into POC systems, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence technology.

Abstract
Rapid control and prevention of diseases caused by foodborne pathogens is one of the existing food safety regulatory issues faced by various countries and has received wide attention from all sectors of society. The development of rapid and reliable detection methods for foodborne pathogens remains a hot research area for food safety and public health because of the limitations of complex steps, time-consuming, low sensitivity, or poor selectivity of commonly used methods. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as a novel spectroscopic technique, has the advantages of high sensitivity, selectivity, rapid and nondestructive detection and has exhibited broad application prospects in the determination of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the enhancement mechanisms of SERS are briefly introduced, then the characteristics and properties of liquid-phase, rigid solid-phase, and flexible solid-phase are categorized. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the advances in label-free or label-based SERS strategies and SERS-compatible techniques for the detection of foodborne pathogens is provided, and the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are reviewed. Finally, the current challenges of SERS technology applied in practical applications are listed, and the possible development trends of SERS in the field of foodborne pathogens detection in the future are discussed.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polymers (2DPs), single-layer networks of covalently linked monomers, show perspectives as membranes and in electronics. However, 2D polymerization of monomers in orthogonal directions limited the formation of 2DPs on nanoparticles (NPs) with high surface curvatures. Here we propose a high-curvature 2D polymerization to form a single-layer 2DP network as a non-contacting ligand on the surface of NPs for their stabilization and functionalization. The high-curvature 2D polymerization of amphiphilic Gemini monomers was conducted in situ on surfaces of NPs with various sizes, shapes, and materials, forming highly cross-linked 2DPs. Selective etching of core-shell NPs led to 2DPs as a non-contact ligand of yolk-shell structures with excellent shape retention and high NP-surface accessibility. In addition, by copolymerization, the 2DP ligands can covalently link to other functional molecules. This work promotes the development of 2DPs on NPs for their functional modification.

Abstract
The quantitative determination of trace free testosterone (FT) is of great significance for the diagnosis of androgen-related endocrine diseases. Herein, a fascinating detection protocol was developed for highly sensitive FT analysis through a competitive immunoassay mechanism, which was composed of magnetic nanobeads (MNBs) and gap-enhanced surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags. With the MNBs as detection carriers, trace FT could be enriched by simple magnetic separation. The SERS nanotag constructed with silver-gold core-shell nanoparticle was acted as quantitative label, and Raman indicators were located at the interface between silver core and gold shell. It is demonstrated that the as-proposed protocol achieves high detection sensitivity for FT of 12.11 fg mL-1, and wider linear dynamic detection range (LDR) in the concentration of 100 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 with R2 value of 0.979, which is due to the enhanced Raman signal of the gap-enhanced SERS nanotag and the high surface-to-volume ratio of the MNB, respectively. Taking advantages of such sensitivity and accuracy approach, the as-developed powerful strategy presents potential applications for rapid disease diagnosis through analyzing trace levels of FT, and can also provide guidance for the exploitation of analysis project of other analytes.

Abstract
In this study, a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on Au@Ag NPs solid-phase substrate combined with chemometrics was constructed for the discrimination of three pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes). The Au@Ag NPs were synthesized and self-assembled on filter paper using the dip-coating method. The good absorbency of the filter paper immobilized the bacteria on the substrate, increased the interaction between the bacteria and the substrate, and enhanced the SERS signal of the bacteria. The main peaks of the bacterial spectra were close to each other, but the relative intensities of the vibrational peaks were significantly different, and each strain exhibited unique Raman peaks. The combination of partial least squared discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) method with bacterial SERS allowed the effective identification of the three bacteria. Moreover, the method was applied for the quantitative detection of Staphylococcus aureus with a minimum detection concentration of 104 cfu/mL.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127303.

Abstract
The development of convenient assays for the determination of hydrazine (N2H4) 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 N2H4 detection based on alpha-cyclodextrin-silver nanoparticles (α-CD-AgNPs) modified by 4-mercaptobenzaldehyde (4-MBA). The 4-MBA molecules can specifically capture the N2H4 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-1 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-1 and the logarithm of the concentration of N2H4 presented a good linear relationship from 10-9 to 10-7 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 N2H4 in real and complex water samples. We expect this assay to be a promising alternative tool for the on-site detection of N2H4.

Abstract
Nanopatterned surfaces enhance incident electromagnetic radiation and thereby enable the detection and characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), for instance in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Herein, Au nanohole arrays, developed and characterized as SERS substrates, are exemplarily used for monitoring a solid-phase deprotection and a subsequent copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition "click" reaction, performed directly on the corresponding SAMs. The SERS substrate was found to be highly reliable in terms of signal reproducibility and chemical stability. Furthermore, the intermediates and the product of the solid-phase synthesis were identified by SERS. The spectra of the immobilized compounds showed minor differences compared to spectra of the microcrystalline solids. With its uniform SERS signals and the high chemical stability, the platform paves the way for monitoring molecular manipulations in surface functionalization applications.
