This invention relates to the field of surface-enhanced
Raman scattering (SERS), specifically to a surface-enhanced
Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method,
system, and nanotag preparation method for IL-6
immunoassay. Applied to
data analysis in low
antigen concentration scenarios, the Raman scan image is first converted into a
binary image according to a set threshold, and quantification is performed using the percentage of positive regions (RPP). The exponential relationship between the RPP and
antigen concentration verifies that single-molecule events follow a Poisson distribution. Finally, the
linear relationship between the product of the RPP and the average Raman intensity of the positive regions (RPP*ARI) and the concentration is used to analyze
antigen concentration data. When testing clinical
serum samples, this
immunoassay method shows strong consistency with standard clinical
laboratory methods. The nanotags prepared in this application exhibit clear signals at single
nanoparticle resolution, thereby achieving ultrasensitive / single-molecule detection.
