    Abstract:
    The catalytic amplification signal of polystyrene nanosphere (PN) is used to conveniently fabricate the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS)/surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode method to sensitively and selectively detect urea in food. PN has strong catalysis of the slow nanoreaction of citrate-Ag(I) to produce yellow silver nanoparticles (AgNP), which exhibit strong RRS effect and SERS effect with molecular probes. When aptamer (Apt) is present, the Apt is adsorbed on the PN surface, the catalysis is weakened, the AgNP is reduced, and the SERS/RRS signal is weakened. After adding urea to exhibit specific Aptamer reaction, the Apt is desorbed from the PN surface and the catalysis is restored. As urea increase, the desorbed PNs increase to produce more AgNPs indicator to increase SERS/RRS signal. The increase value △I of SERS/RRS is linearly to urea concentration. Therefore, a sensitive and selective SERS/RRS dual-mode method for urea is established based on aptamers-regulated the catalysis of PNs. This method is applied to the detection of urea in milk with satisfactory results. The relative standard deviation is 3.9-6.8% and the recovery rate is 94.5-102%.
