Biomarkers are important biochemical indicators, which could be used for identification, early diagnosis and monitoring of diseases during the course of treatment. However, biomarker diagnosis has some shortcomings such as requiring a large amount of samples, long test time and high cost, which seriously influences the correctness and timely treatment to patients. Here, a relatively fast and efficient plasmonic hot spot-localized surface imprinting of Ag spheres using biomarker template immobilization and hydrogel copolymerization is described. The technique takes a fine control of the imprinting process at the nanometre scale and provides a biosensor with high sensitivity. Proof of the opinion is established by detection of biomarker using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. This work represents a valuable step towards SERS with biomarkers for cost-saving and time-saving diagnostic assay. It is expected that the new surface imprinted hydrogel plasmonic material can drive possibilities in advancing application of biomarkers in plasmonic biosensors.

Sers Tags

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags have been actively explored as a multiplexing platform for sensitive detection of biomolecules. Here, we report a new type of SERS tags that was fabricated by sequentially functionalizing dimers made of 50 nm Ag nanospheres with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid as the Raman reporter molecule, silica coating as a protective shell and antibody as a targeting ligand. These dimer-based tags give highly enhanced and reproducible Raman signals owing to the presence of a well-defined SERS hot spot at the junction between two Ag nanospheres in the dimer. The SERS enhancement factor (EF) of an individual dimer tag supported on a glass slide can reach a level as high as 4.3 × 10 6 . In comparison, the EFs dropped to 2.8 × 10 5 and 8.7 × 10 5 , respectively, when Ag nanospheres and nanocubes with sizes similar to the spheres in the dimer were used to fabricate the tags using similar procedures. The SERS signals from aqueous suspensions of the dimer-based tags also showed high intensity and good stability. Potential use of the dimer-based tags was demonstrated by imaging cancer cells overexpressing HER2 receptors with good specificity and high sensitivity.
