Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) progresses fast and is easy to metastasize, and a bedside detection technology that can realize "second-level" discrimination before biopsy is urgently needed in clinical practice; existing serum markers, imaging and electron microscopy biopsy have bottlenecks such as low sensitivity, long cycle and high false negative rate, and conventional SERS substrates are difficult to be directly used for trace exhaled air or pleural effusion samples due to droplet spreading and poor signal repeatability. Femtosecond laser can construct super-hydrophobic micro-nano structures on the metal surface in one step, can instantly capture and enrich target molecules, can significantly improve the Raman enhancement factor, and can realize the collection of SERS fingerprints at the level of body fluid and single cell; combined with a portable Raman probe, specific waveform discrimination of SCLC can be quickly completed, with high sensitivity and strong specificity, providing an in-situ, non-invasive and low-cost new path for early screening of high-risk groups and rapid evaluation of intraoperative margins.

[0003] Femtosecond laser is a kind of ultrashort pulse laser with extremely high spatial resolution and extremely small heat affected zone, and is widely used in micro-nano processing. The microstructure manufactured on the metal surface can be used to enhance the Raman signal (i.e. surface enhanced Raman scattering, SERS) and improve the detection sensitivity. Raman spectrum is a non-invasive and label-free spectral analysis technology that can reflect the molecular structure information of the tissue. There is a significant difference in Raman spectral characteristics between cancerous lung tissue and normal lung tissue, and it has the potential for rapid, non-invasive and molecular-level diagnosis.

[0006] The sample loading module comprises a conveying table, a motor and a sample dropper.
