Abstract
The development of online surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection methods is crucial to achieving high-throughput efficiency. Herein, a non-noble-metal moving substrate that integrates the functions of enrichment and sensing is developed for the microfluidic online-high-throughput detection of pollutants. The lowest limit of detection of 1 × 10–12 M and a Raman enhancement factor of 6.3 × 108 are obtained on the nanospheres. In a single detection channel, the analysis of 20 samples is achieved within 5 min, and the relative standard deviation of the signals is less than 6.8%. Compared with static SERS detection of fixed substrates, this dynamic SERS detection method greatly reduces the contamination memory effect of the analyte residue, enabling it to perform the sequential quantitative detection of samples with large concentration differences. Moreover, the current online SERS platform realizes the rapid quantitative detection of multicomponent samples.
