A
s the expression level of proteins in human body is closely
related to the occurrence and progression of cancers, the
development of highly sensitive, high-throughput, rapid and low-
cost optical technology for multiplex protein detection is of great
significance to the fundamental research in oncology and the
clinicalapplicationsinearlycancerdiagnosisandtherapeutics.Wefocus on the development of a novel multiplex protein detection
platformwhich combines surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy
(SERS) technique with the microfluidic chip. This study aims to
improve the detection sensitivity, multiplexing ability, efficiency as
well as to reduce the overall costs. Here, the spectral-spatial joint
encodingmethod has been proposed to develop a novel analytical
platform for high-throughput protein detection, which is further
employed for the detection of tumor markers and the study on
the interaction mechanism of anti-cancer drugs. This platform
provides a new technological route for the early cancer diagnosis
and therapeutics. The main content of this presentation are
listed as follows: gold@silver core-shell nanorods were adapted
to develop a SERS-based immunoassay with highly increased
sensitivity; SERS spectral encoding technique was employed for
multiplex detection of cancer biomarkers; SERS spectral-spatial
joint encoding method was proposed to develop a SERS-assisted
3D barcode chip for multiplex protein detection; and a versatile
microfluidic platform for the detection of tumor secretions was
presented, in which the mechanism of anti-cancer drugs and the
process of intercellular communication were studied..
