Photoluminescent and multi-phonon resonance Raman scattering dual-mode immunoassays based on CdS nanoparticles for HIgG detection

A dual-mode immunoassay strategy based on CdS nanoparticles as signal probes with both of photoluminescent (PL) and multi-phonon resonance Raman scattering (MRRS) properties was developed. Simplified structural design and preparation were achieved due to the intrinsic integration of PL and MRRS dual signals in the single-unit CdS nanoprobes. Human immunoglobulin G (HIgG) was sensitively and specifically detected using the proposed PL-MRRS dual-mode strategy. The linear relationship between the HIgG concentration and the intensity of 707 nm PL peaks/300 cm
