ABSTRACT
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, as an important analytical tool, has been widely applied in the field of chemical and biomedical sensing. Automated testing is often combined with biochemical analysis technologies to shorten the detection time and minimize human error. The present SERS substrates for sample detection are time-consuming and subject to high human error, which are not conducive to the combination of SERS and automated testing. Here, a novel honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray is designed for large-area automated testing of urease in saliva samples to shorten the detection time and minimize human error. The honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray is decorated with hexagonal microwells and a homogeneous distribution of silver nanostars. Compared with the other four common SERS substrates, the optimal honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray exhibits the best SERS performance. The RSD of 100 SERS spectra continuously collected from saliva samples is 6.56%, and the time of one detection is reduced from 5 min to 10 s. There is a noteworthy linear relationship with a R2 of 0.982 between SERS intensity and urease concentration, indicating the quantitative detection capability of the urease activity in saliva samples. The honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray, combined with automated testing, provides a new way in which SERS technology can be widely used in biomedical applications.
