The application of drop coating deposition Raman (DCDR) spectroscopy to the field of reaction progress monitoring is addressed in this contribution. Although, DCDR spectroscopy has seen recent application in the study of biological fluids, its application in other areas has not yet been explored. Here we apply the technique to the catalysed oxidation of alkenes to epoxides in aqueous solutions at concentrations <10 mM. The effect of surface characteristics, background interferences, homogeneity of distribution of analytes, drying time, as well as instrumental limits of detection and calibration are discussed. We demonstrate that reproducible spectra can be obtained routinely, with relatively little variance, with short acquisition times and samples volumes of 2-10 μl and as little as 1 μg of analyte. The utility of the technique compared with online reaction monitoring by (1)H NMR and Raman spectroscopy is demonstrated in the excellent correlation between data obtained off and on-line.

Nodularin (NOD) is a potent toxin produced by cyanobacteria. Usually, NOD co-exists with other microcystins in environmental waters, a class of cyanotoxins secreted by certain cyanobacteria species, which makes identification difficult in the case of mixed toxins. Herein we report a complete theoretical DFT-vibrational Raman characterization of NOD along with the experimental drop-coating deposition Raman (DCDR) technique.

Glycosylation is considered a critical quality attribute of therapeutic proteins as it affects their stability, bioactivity, and safety. Hence, the development of analytical methods able to characterize the composition and structure of glycoproteins is crucial. Existing methods are time consuming, expensive, and require significant sample preparation, which can alter the robustness of the analyses.

Raman spectroscopy is a useful technique to identify small organic molecules, including contaminants. The drop coating deposition Raman (DCDR) is more sensitive than conventional Raman spectroscopy from solution. It is based on Raman measurement from a small drop dried on a hydrophobic surface where studied molecules are preconcentrated.

Graphene-enhanced Raman scattering (GERS) has attracted increasing attention from many scientists in recent years as a novel and potentially strong analytical technique since its discovery in 2010. GERS combines the ultra-high sensitivity and spectral analysis of the structural properties of many molecules found in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and graphene simple sample processing and excellent uniformity. This facilitates a fast and very sensitive analysis of a wide range of analytes.

Recombinant human interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key cytokine that plays an important role in the immune system and inflammatory response, explaining why any modification of its concentration in biological fluids is considered a signal of a pathological condition. Therefore, it is important to develop alternative, highly sensitive and reliable analytical methodologies to detect and identify this analyte in biological fluids. Herein, we present a proof of concept for the development of a new analytical hybrid platform for IL-6 detection that is based on the combination of drop-coating deposition Raman (DCDR) spectroscopy and graphene-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (GERS) effects.
