The ability of noble metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) (Au, Ag) to drastically enhance Raman scattering from molecules placed near metal surface, termed as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), is widely used for identification of trace amounts of biological materials in biomedical, food safety and security applications. However, conventional NPs synthesized by colloidal chemistry are typically contaminated by nonbiocompatible by-products (surfactants, anions), which can have negative impacts on many live objects under examination (cells, bacteria) and thus decrease the precision of bioidentification. In this article, we explore novel ultrapure laser-synthesized Au-based nanomaterials, including Au NPs and AuSi hybrid nanostructures, as mobile SERS probes in tasks of bacteria detection. We show that these Au-based nanomaterials can efficiently enhance Raman signals from model R6G molecules, while the enhancement factor depends on the content of Au in NP composition. Profiting from the observed enhancement and purity of laser-synthesized nanomaterials, we demonstrate successful identification of 2 types of bacteria (Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli). The obtained results promise less disturbing studies of biological systems based on good biocompatibility of contamination-free laser-synthesized nanomaterials.
贵金属基纳米颗粒(NPs)(金、银)能够显著增强置于金属表面附近分子的拉曼散射,这一现象被称为表面增强拉曼散射(SERS),在生物医学、食品安全和安保应用中广泛用于痕量生物材料的识别。然而,通过胶体化学合成的传统纳米颗粒通常会被非生物相容性副产物(表面活性剂、阴离子)污染,这些副产物会对许多被检测的活体对象(细胞、细菌)产生负面影响,从而降低生物识别的精度。在本文中,我们探索了新型超纯激光合成的金基纳米材料,包括金纳米颗粒和金硅混合纳米结构,作为细菌检测任务中的移动SERS探针。我们表明,这些金基纳米材料能够有效增强模型罗丹明6G(R6G)分子的拉曼信号,而增强因子取决于纳米颗粒组成中金的含量。得益于激光合成纳米材料所观察到的增强效果和纯度,我们成功鉴定出了两种细菌(无害李斯特菌和大肠杆菌)。基于无污染激光合成纳米材料良好的生物相容性,所获得的结果有望为生物系统研究带来较少干扰。
