A rapid, simple, and novel method for folate receptor α (FRα) determination is reported here. A probe of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) modified with anti-FRα antibody was synthesized under the optimized conditions first. The antibody-modified Au NPs would aggregate when FRα was added to the probe for the specific interaction between antibody and antigen, resulting in the enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity. There is a linear relationship between the change of RRS intensity (ΔIRRS) and the concentration of FRα, with the detecting range of 0.50–37.50 ng·mL−1 and the limit of determination of 0.05 ng·mL−1. The determination of FRα in serum samples was realized with the advantages of high selectivity, high sensitivity, and easy operation.

Hemin aptamer was used to modify gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to obtain a stable aptamer-nanogold probe (AussDNA). In the condition of pH 8.0 Tris-HCl buffer solution containing 50mmol/L NaCl, the substrate chain of AussDNA was cracked by hemin to produce a short single-stranded DNA(ssDNA) and then further combined with hemin to form a stable hemin-ssDNA conjugate. The AuNPs released from AussDNA would be aggregated in the condition of 50mmol/L NaCl and exhibited a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 368nm. Under the selected conditions, the increased RRS intensity (ΔI368nm) was linear to hemin concentration in the range of 5-750nmol/L, with a detection limit of 66 pmol/L. This RRS method was applied to determination of residual hemin in serum samples, with satisfactory results. The remnant AussDNA in the solution exhibited a strong catalytic activity on the gold particle reaction of HAuCl4-vitamine C (VC) that can be monitored by RRS technique at 368 nm. When the hemin concentration increased, the AussDNA decreased, the catalysis decreased, and the RRS intensity at 368nm decreased. The decreased RRS intensity ΔI368nmwas linear to the hemin concentration in the range of 1-200nmol/L, with a detection limit of 54 pmol/L. Accordingly, a sensitivity, selectivity, and simplicity new method of resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra to detect hemin using aptamer-modified nanogold as catalyst was established.

Chlorpromazine (CPZ) and promethazine (PZ) can react with potassium ferrioxalate (PF) to form 3:1 ion-association complexes, which can result in a significant enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity. The maximum scattering peaks are located at 368 nm for CPZ-PF and 370 nm for PZ-PF. The RRS spectroscopic characteristics, the optimum conditions of reactions, and influencing factors have been studied for CPZ-PF and PZ-PF. There is a linear relationship between the RRS intensity and the drug concentration in the range of 0.02–8.00 μg mL–1 for CPZ and 0.04–9.00 μg mL–1 for PZ, and the detection limits (3σ) are 6.6 ng mL–1 for CPZ and 10.6 ng mL–1 for PZ. The proposed method has been applied to determine CPZ in urine and serum samples with satisfactory results. Moreover, the reaction mechanism and the reasons for intensity enhancement of RRS have been discussed.

In pH 6.6 Na2HPO4- citric acid buffer solution and in the presence of KCl, the immunoreaction between hCG and nanosilver-labeled anti-hCG took place, the immunonanosilver-complex was formed and deposited, caused the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity at 510 nm decreased. In the optimal condition, the decreased RRS intensity responds linearly with the concentration of hCG over 0.125-1.75 µg/mL. Based on this, a new and simple RRS method has been proposed for the determination of hCG in serum samples, with satisfactory results.

In 6 mol/L HCl medium, NaH2PO2reduced HAuCl4to generate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs have a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 369 nm. As HAuCl4concentration increases in 0.04-0.8 mmol/L, the AuNPs generated increase, and the RRS peak ΔI369nmenhanced linearly, the linear regression equation wasΔI369nm= 5122CAu+13.2, linear correlation coefficient was 0.9968. This method has the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, easy to operate.

Sensitive and selective methods for the determination of urea in samples such as dairy products are important for quality control and health applications. Using ammonium ferric citrate as a precursor, Fe/N-codoped carbon dots (CDFeN) were prepared by a hydrothermal procedure and characterized in detail. CDFeN strongly catalyzes the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to turn on an indicator molecular reaction, forming an oxidized tetramethylbenzidine (TMBox) probe with surface-enhanced Raman scattering, resonance Rayleigh scattering, and fluorescence (SERS, RRS, and FL) signals at 1,598 cm−1, 370 nm, and 405 nm, respectively. The urea aptamer (Apt) can turn off the indicator reaction to reduce the tri-signals, and the addition of urea turns on the indicator reaction to linearly enhance the SERS/RRS/FL intensity. Thus, a novel Apt turn-on tri-mode method was developed for the assay determination of ultra-trace urea with high sensitivity, good selectivity, and accuracy. Trace adenosine triphosphate and estradiol can also be determined by the Apt-CDFeN catalytic analytical platform.

Aptamer was modified the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) to form stable aptamer-AuNP probe that was not gathered in the pH 7.2 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer solution and in the presence of NaCl. The Ag+ react with the aptamer-AuNP probe to fold a hairpin structure complex of Ag+-aptamer and release AuNPs that were aggregated to large particles, which lead to resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 596 nm enhancement. The enhanced value ΔI596nm is linear to Ag + concentration in the range of 6.7×10-8-1.33×10-6 mol/L. Thus, a new RRS methods were proposed for detection of Ag+, with high sensitivity, good selectivity and simplicity.
