Abstract

We developed a SERS biosensor based on gold fishnets fabricated by using e-beam lithography. This device is used for glycerophosphoinositol (GroPIns) molecule sensing. GroPIns is an abundant component of cell cytosol and high GroPIns levels have been reported in several tumour cells. We demonstrate that our SERS sensor is able to accurately and quantitatively determine the concentration of GroPIns. These results indicate that SERS may provide a novel platform technology to identify GroPIns profiles in disease pathogenesis.
