- Abstract
- Test strips represent a class of point-of-care testing (POCT) tools for analysis of a variety of biomarkers towards diagnostics. Conventional test strips offer benefits of simple operation, visualization, and short detection time, along with the drawbacks of relatively low sensitivity and unavailability of quantitative analysis. Recently, the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and test strips have evolved to provide a powerful platform capable of ultrasensitive and multiplex detection of extensive analytes of interest. In this review, we focus on the working principles, design strategies and POCT applications of SERS-based test strips. Initially, both lateral and vertical flow test strips are briefly introduced, followed by presentation of various strategies for reforming SERS-based test strips with better detection performance. Applications of SERS-based test strips in diagnosis of disease biomarkers, nucleic acids and toxins are reviewed, with an emphasis on SERS tag design, sensitivity and analytical applicability. Finally, conclusions are made and perspectives on futuristic research directions are given. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
