Fabrication of a Biocompatible Mica/Gold Surface for Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is a promising technique for structural studies of biological systems and biomolecules, owing to its ability to provide a chemical fingerprint with sub-diffraction-limit spatial resolution. This application of TERS has thus far been limited, due to difficulties in generating high field enhancements while maintaining biocompatibility. The high sensitivity achievable through TERS arises from the excitation of a localized surface plasmon resonance in a noble metal atomic force microscope (AFM) tip, which in combination with a metallic surface can produce huge enhancements in the local optical field. However, metals have poor biocompatibility, potentially introducing difficulties in characterizing native structure and conformation in biomolecules, whereas biocompatible surfaces have weak optical field enhancements. Herein, a novel, biocompatible, highly enhancing surface is designed and fabricated based on few-monolayer mica flakes, mechanically exfoliated on a metal surface. These surfaces allow the formation of coupled plasmon enhancements for TERS imaging, while maintaining the biocompatibility and atomic flatness of the mica surface for high resolution AFM. The capability of these substrates for TERS is confirmed numerically and experimentally. We demonstrate up to five orders of magnitude improvement in TERS signals over conventional mica surfaces, expanding the sensitivity of TERS to a wide range of non-resonant biomolecules with weak Raman cross-sections. The increase in sensitivity obtained through this approach also enables the collection of nanoscale spectra with short integration times, improving hyperspectral mapping for these applications. These mica/metal surfaces therefore have the potential to revolutionize spectromicroscopy of complex, heterogeneous biological systems such as DNA and protein complexes.

Nanoscale Chemical Imaging Using Tip‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: A Critical Review

Methods for chemical analysis at the nanometer scale are crucial for understanding and characterizing nanostructures of modern materials and biological systems. Tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) combines the chemical information provided by Raman spectroscopy with the signal enhancement known from surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and the high spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM) or scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). A metallic or metallized tip is illuminated by a focused laser beam and the resulting strongly enhanced electromagnetic field at the tip apex acts as a highly confined light source for Raman spectroscopic measurements. This Review focuses on the prerequisites for the efficient coupling of light to the tip as well as the shortcomings and pitfalls that have to be considered for TERS imaging, a fascinating but still challenging way to look at the nanoworld. Finally, examples from recent publications have been selected to demonstrate the potential of this technique for chemical imaging with a spatial resolution of approximately 10 nm and sensitivity down to the single‐molecule level for applications ranging from materials sciences to life sciences.     

PNA-Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles and Their Hybridization with Single-Stranded DNA Target: Surface Enhanced Raman Scatterings Study

A 4-pyridyldithiol-derivatized peptide nucleic acid (PNA), which was designed to recognize a specific gene, was attached to 3-mercapropropyloxysilane coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) via a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction. Subsequently, PNA-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) were prepared. Sequentially the PMNPs were challenged with non-complementary and perfect-match DNA targets. The entire procedure was monitored using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The results showed that the PMNPs were able to efficiently hybridize with the perfect-match ssDNA target and showed no affinity towards non-complementary DNA. This approach may provide a means of direct and label-free gene analysis.     

Label‐Free Molecular Imaging of Biological Cells and Tissues by Linear and Nonlinear Raman Spectroscopic Approaches

Raman spectroscopy is an emerging technique in bioanalysis and imaging of biomaterials owing to its unique capability of generating spectroscopic fingerprints. Imaging cells and tissues by Raman microspectroscopy represents a nondestructive and label‐free approach. All components of cells or tissues contribute to the Raman signals, giving rise to complex spectral signatures. Resonance Raman scattering and surface‐enhanced Raman scattering can be used to enhance the signals and reduce the spectral complexity. Raman‐active labels can be introduced to increase specificity and multimodality. In addition, nonlinear coherent Raman scattering methods offer higher sensitivities, which enable the rapid imaging of larger sampling areas. Finally, fiber‐based imaging techniques pave the way towards in vivo applications of Raman spectroscopy. This Review summarizes the basic principles behind medical Raman imaging and its progress since 2012.

Imaging and SERS Study of the Au Nanoparticles Interaction with HPV and Carcinogenic Cervical Tissues

In this work, gold NPs were prepared by the Turkevich method, and their interaction with HPV and cancerous cervical tissues were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, confocal and multiphoton microscopy and SERS. The SEM images confirmed the presence and localization of the gold NPs inside of the two kinds of tissues. The light absorption of the gold NPs was at 520 nm. However, it was possible to obtain two-photon imaging (red emission region) of the gold NPs inside of the tissue, exciting the samples at 900 nm, observing the morphology of the tissues. The infrared absorption was probably due to the aggregation of gold NPs inside the tissues. Therefore, through the interaction of gold nanoparticles with the HPV and cancerous cervical tissues, a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was obtained. As preliminary studies, having an average of 1000 Raman spectra per tissue, SERS signals showed changes between the HPV-infected and the carcinogenic tissues; these spectral signatures occurred mainly in the DNA bands, potentially offering a tool for the rapid screening of cancer.
