Abstract

In this article, we propose a new strategy to build a sensor for easy handling and rapid analysis on-site. Our sensor is based on the combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). SERS provides a strong sensitivity for the detection of trace molecules while MIPs offer a highly selective and specific recognition platform. The research presented here focuses on the detection of the interaction between a robust ultra-thin layer of MIPs and of paracetamol, the targeted molecule. This drug is an environmental emerging pollutant, i.e., a molecule whose presence and significance have not yet been elucidated, which gives rise to health and environmental concerns. The results are a combined analysis of the SERS spectra and a multivariate analysis. The former provides a clear demonstration of the evolution of the MIP-nanostructure interaction when the concentration of paracetamol increases. The statistical analysis produces the proof of the selectivity of the sensor.
