Rapid separation and detection of analytes have been the focus of a growing body of investigation for potential applications including food safety and environment science. However, the development of a robust analytical technique for simultaneous rapid separation and on-line detection remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a rational design based on the combination of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for the rapid separation and on-line detection of multi-analytes. In particular, a plasmonic nanoparticle-modified capillary (NPMC) is fabricated through a self-assembly process and connected to a HPLC effluent-end port. After separation by HPLC, the analytes are adsorbed onto plasmonic nanoparticles in the capillary and then detected by SERS. The resulting HPLC-SERS coupled detection system can simultaneously achieve rapid separation and provide on-line molecular structural information of multi-analytes. In addition, we also demonstrate the on-line detection of a pesticide molecule (thiram) in an orange using this combined system. Importantly, the detection limit can be down to 10(-7) mol L-1. These findings indicate that our coupled HPLC-SERS system offers a promising analytical technique in modern analytical science and technology.
