Abstract
Prompt and personalized perioperative analgesia management relies on sensitive and convenient monitoring of analgesics. We report a strategy for sensitive and reproducible SERS detection of analgesics based on Ag nanocubes, which have abundant intragranular hot spots on sharp corners and interparticle hot spots between gaps. Both theoretical simulations and R6G detection experiments indicated that the enhancement factor of Ag nanocube SERS platform reach to 106 level. Quantitative and reproducible determination capabilities of this platform for six different analgesics with LOD as low as 500 pg mL−1 were verified. Pharmacokinetic experiment of fentanyl in rat serum samples by SERS detection within 4 h presented consistent results with the UHPLC-MS/MS method. Valid examples of SERS detection for single or multiple analgesics in clinical patients’ serums further proved the feasibility of this platform for perioperative analgesic monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
