A Wearable Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Sensor for Label-Free Molecular Detection.

A wearable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor has been developed as a patch type to utilize as a molecular sweat sensor. Here, the SERS patch sensor is designed to comprise a sweat-absorbing layer, which is an interface to the human skin, an SERS active layer, and a dermal protecting layer that prevents damage and contaminations. A silk fibroin protein film (SFF) is a basement layer that absorbs aqueous solutions and filtrates molecules larger than the nanopores created in the β-sheet matrix of the SFF. On the SFF layer, a plasmonic silver nanowire (AgNW) layer is formed to enhance the Raman signal of the molecules that penetrated through the SERS patch in a label-free method. A transparent dermal protecting layer (DP) allows laser penetration to the AgNW layer enabling Raman measurement through the SERS patch without its detachment from the surface. The molecular detection capability and time-dependent absorption properties of the SERS patch are investigated, and then, the feasibility of its use as a wearable drug detection sweat sensor is demonstrated using 2-fluoro-methamphetamine (2-FMA) on the human cadaver skin. It is believed that the developed SERS patch can be utilized as various flexible and wearable biosensors for healthcare monitoring.
