Focus: SERS Applications in BiofluidsScreening Abused Drugs in Salivaat Road-Side & Emergency-Roomfor Driver Impairment & Overdose
The Need & Challenge: Drugs in saliva
Road-side screening for determining drug induced driver impairmentNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration Stats:
• 2007: 11% of drivers stopped tested positive for drugs• 2009: 18% of driver fatalities tested positive for drugs
Emergency room assessment of overdose and drug abuseU.S. Drug-Related Emergency Room (ER) Stats:
• 2004: 2.4 million visits• 2009: 4.6 million visits
2.1 million attributed to illicit drugsCocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine, PCP, MDMA, LSD, Methadone2.3 million attributed to prescription & some to over-the-counter (OTC) drugsOxycodone, Diazepam & Acetaminophen

Analysis of chemo-drugs and metabolites for dosage control• Dosage critical (to little noneffective, to much kills patient)• Current analysis requires large sample volume (10-20 ml blood and/or urine)• Traditional lab methods are labor intensive and time consuming• Viable alternative is saliva, parent drugs/metabolites adequately represented (but at lower levels)• Advantages of saliva, non-invasive (no needles) & 100X less potential interferents (99.5% water)
Challenge: Drugs in salivaCritical need to rapidly identify offending drug(s), so that impaired drivers can be arrested or appropriate medical care can be administered.
The analyzer must typically provide the following criteria:• Specificity – Identify and Discriminate Drugs (with No False Positives!)
• Sensitivity – Detect ~10-8 M or less (e.g. 30 ppb cocaine is threshold)
• Reproducibility – Accurate and Repeatable (with No False Negatives!)
• Speed – Rapid Response and Analysis within 8-10 minutes
• Field Usable – Battery Operated and Rugged
In an effort to meet this need we have been investigating the ability of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect and identify numerous drugs of abuse in saliva at ng/mL concentrations within 10 minutes.
We present successful measurement of representative illicit, prescribed, and over-the-counter drugs in saliva by SERS, with a focus on cocaine.

The Solution: SERSSpecificity: all chemicals (drugs/metabolites) produce a unique Raman spectrum allowing unequivocal identification (no false-positives).
Sensitivity: Ag and Au nanoparticle substrates used to generate SERS amplify Raman signals (increase scattering efficiency) by 1 million times or more allowing required detection of 10-8 M (ppb) (no false-negatives).

Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Raman, although weak effect, provides molecular specificity
BUT, when a molecule is within a laser induced plasmon field,
the efficiency of Raman scattering can increase by 106 i.e. 1 million times!

Summary
Critical need to rapidly identify offending drug(s) in impaired drivers and overdose in ER.
Demonstrated ability of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect and identify numerous drugs in saliva at ng/mL concentrations within 8 minutes.
Identification is provided by matching measured spectra to a SERS library comprised of over 150 different drugs, each of which possess a unique spectrum.
Trace detection is provided by gold nanoparticles trapped within a porous glass matrix that generate SERS.
Speed is provided by a syringe driven sample system that extracts the drugs from saliva AND provides SERS-activity.
Spectral collection is provided by a portable Raman analyzer.
