Optimization of Paper-Based Alveolar-Mimicking SERS Sensor for High-Sensitivity Detection of Antifungal Agent.

ABSTRACT: Crystal violet (CV) is a disinfectant and antifungal agent used in aquaculture that plays a vital role in treating aquatic diseases and sterilizing water. However, its potential for strong toxicity, including carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, upon accumulation in the body raises concerns regarding its safe use. Therefore, there is a growing need for the quantitative detection of CV in its early application stages to ensure human safety. Recently, Raman spectroscopy-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection research has been actively conducted; consequently, an alveolar-mimicking SERS paper (AMSP) inspired by the structure of the human lungs was developed. The AMSP was optimized through various factors, including paper type, reducing agent, reducing agent concentration, and r
