Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of SERS detection technology, and particularly relates to a pinhole type solid-liquid dual-state SERS sensor and application thereof in rapid detection of bacterial substances. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, bacterial infection events occur frequently worldwide. The main manifestations of bacterial infection of different degrees include primary inflammation, bacteremia, skin rash, septic shock, and even death. The development of rapid detection methods for pathogenic microorganisms is the key to cope with infection events, especially in the fields of medical examination and public health safety.

[0003] The existing technologies for bacterial detection include methods based on bacterial culture and counting, molecular detection technologies, immunological detection technologies, and biosensor detection technologies. The method based on bacterial culture and counting is relatively mature, but has limitations in terms of species, long cycle (more than 18 hours), and most bacteria cannot be artificially cultured. Common molecular detection technologies include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and fluorescence quantitative PCR, multiplex PCR, and reverse transcription PCR based on PCR technology. Such methods are relatively accurate, but require professional personnel and the detection process is relatively complicated, and are not suitable for on-site detection. Immunological detection methods include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunochromatography, and immunofluorescence. Immunological detection methods have good specificity and high sensitivity, but it is difficult to obtain antibodies and the cost is high. Biosensor detection technologies include fluorescence method and electrochemical method, and sometimes there are false positive problems. In summary, the existing technologies cannot meet the actual needs of rapid detection of bacterial microorganisms.

[0004] With the progress of nanotechnology and spectroscopy technology, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection technology brings opportunities for rapid detection of pathogenic bacterial microorganisms. SERS is very suitable for rapid detection of bacterial microorganisms due to its high sensitivity, inherent selectivity of spectral fingerprint, simple and rapid preparation, and non-destructive data acquisition in liquid environment. However, in traditional bacterial SERS detection, bacteria cannot fully contact the substrate material due to size, making it difficult to capture effective spectral information, and the obtained SERS spectral signal is only a local signal of the bacterial body, which cannot reflect the overall spectral information of the bacterial body. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a preparation method of a pinhole type solid-liquid dual-state SERS sensor and application thereof in rapid detection of bacterial substances. In a sample containing bacteria, the spectral signal of the target bacteria is obtained to realize rapid detection of bacterial substances.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical purposes of the present application, the following technical solutions are adopted in the present application:

[0007] A preparation method of a pinhole type solid-liquid dual-state SERS sensor, comprising the steps of: drilling a small hole on a base material, dropping a vanadium dioxide nanosol at the small hole position after drying treatment, then dropping a sample to be detected, a silver nanosheet sol and a cysteine sulfinate aqueous solution at the small hole position in sequence, placing on a semiconductor refrigeration hot table, and performing SERS detection. The base material is preferably flax cloth, and the small hole diameter is preferably 0.01-0.1 mm. The vanadium dioxide nanosol can be obtained by a known preparation method or purchased from a professional manufacturer. One preparation method can be as follows: 3 m mol of ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3), 6 m mol of oxalic acid (H2C2O4·2H2O) and 35 mL of deionized water are added to a beaker, and stirred vigorously at room temperature for 30 min. Then the solution is transferred to a 50 mL stainless steel autoclave and heated at 180°C, and after 24 hours, it is naturally cooled to room temperature. The obtained blue-black precipitate is filtered and washed with distilled water and anhydrous alcohol, and dried in air at 70°C for 12 h to obtain nanometer vanadium dioxide with a particle size of 100-300 nm, which is then dispersed in ultrapure water for standby use. The silver nanosheet sol has a particle size of 60-100 nm, which can be obtained by a known preparation method such as the sodium citrate method or purchased from a professional manufacturer.

[0008] In the present application, the vanadium dioxide nanosol is preferably concentrated 50-300 times to form a star-shaped vanadium dioxide nanosol, more preferably concentrated 60-220 times, and the particle number of the concentrated vanadium dioxide nanosol is 3.55×10 10 -1.3046×10 11 / μL; the silver nanosheet sol is preferably concentrated 50-300 times for use, more preferably concentrated 80-200 times, and the particle number of the concentrated silver nanosol is 1.896×10 10 -4.74×10 12 / μL; and the cysteine sulfinate solution has an antioxidation protection effect, and the aqueous solution concentration is preferably 10 -7 -10 -9 mol / L.

[0009] In the present application, flax cloth is used as the base material, which has good hygroscopicity and can adsorb the sample to be detected on the surface of the nanomaterial, so that the sample to be detected is in the hot spot area, which is conducive to the surface enhancement of the signal and further conducive to SERS detection. At the same time, due to the rough surface of the flax cloth, there are many small gaps after the nanomaterial is attached, and due to the electric field coupling effect, there are also a large number of "hot spot effects" in these gaps, which further enhances the Raman scattering signal of the sample to be detected, and reflects more detailed structure information of the sample to be detected.

[0010] The pinhole type solid-liquid dual-state SERS sensor of the application can accurately position and enrich the fungi near the pinhole, and the solid-liquid two-state substrate, i.e., the vanadium dioxide nanosol is solid after drying, and the silver nanosheet sol is liquid, can produce stronger resonance effect, and the substrate can be closely combined with the fungi, so that the overall Raman spectrum information of the fungi can be effectively captured.

[0011] In the application, the vanadium dioxide nanosol, the silver nanosheet sol and the aqueous cysteine sulfinate solution can be prepared in advance for on-site and timely application. Therefore, the pinhole type solid-liquid dual-state SERS sensor based on the application can be made into a detection kit set, which can include bottles or cans or cylinders respectively containing the vanadium dioxide nanosol, the silver nanosheet sol and the aqueous cysteine sulfinate solution, a substrate material linen cloth provided with small holes, a semiconductor refrigeration hot table, a handheld Raman detector and the like.

[0015] (3) Drop 30-80 μL of liquid sample of fungi at the small hole obtained in step (2), shake, then drop 10-30 μL of silver nanosheet sol concentrated by 80-200 times, then drop 10 -7 -10 -9 mol / L aqueous cysteine sulfinate solution 5-15 μL, mix uniformly, and place on a semiconductor refrigeration hot table at 38-42℃;

[0016] (4) Immediately use a laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm to perform SERS detection around the edge range of the small hole; randomly select 2-3 small holes, randomly take points on the circular path around the edge of each small hole to collect 2-3 spectra, then compound 4-9 spectra into one spectrum in a Gaussian fitting manner, and import into the Raman spectrometer library;

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the application of the pinhole type solid-liquid dual-state SERS sensor in rapid detection of bacterial substances can adopt the following method steps:

[0019] (1) A 0.8*0.8 cm square flax material cloth strip is randomly and uniformly perforated with a 0.06 mm diameter needle, and then washed with ultrapure water for 1 min, and taken out to dry without excess water dripping.

[0020] (2) 30 μL of concentrated (60-220 times) star-shaped vanadium dioxide nanosol is added to the cloth strip hole position, then ultrasonicated for 2 min, placed for 5 min, and dried in a 40-60°C oven, ready for use. -7 -10 -9 mol / L aqueous solution of cysteine sulfinate 10 μL, mixed uniformly, and placed on a semiconductor refrigeration hot table at 38-42°C.

[0021] (4) Immediately use a 1064 nm wavelength laser to perform SERS detection around the edge range of the hole. Randomly select two holes, randomly take points to collect three spectra around the edge circular path of each hole, then compound the six spectra into one spectrum in a Gaussian fitting manner, and import into the spectrum library of a handheld Raman spectrometer.

The obtained detection results can be presented in a visual manner, and determined as the name of a specific bacterial substance.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
