A New Chitosan-Modified Paper-Based SERS Glucose Sensor with Enhanced Reproducibility, Stability, and Sensitivity for Non-Enzymatic Label-Free Detection.

ABSTRACT: We have fabricated a new highly reproducible, stable, and sensitive cellulose paper-based Surfaced-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor substrate for non-enzymatic label-free glucose detection. To enhance reproducibility, stability, and sensitivity, the cellulose paper (CP) substrate has been modified with a naturally derived biocompatible polymer, chitosan (CS), followed by depositing enormous amount of plasmonic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on CP/CS and finally forming a self-assembling monolayer of 4-mercaptophenyl boronic acid (MPBA) on CP/CS/AgNPs (CP/CS/AgNPs/MPBA). The SERS sensor substrate is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy techniques. The glucose sens
