Innovative chips based on palladium thin films deposited on plastic substrates have been tested in the Kretschmann surface plasmon resonance (SPR) configuration. The new chips combine the advantages of a plastic support that is interesting and commercially appealing and the physical properties of palladium, showing inverted surface plasmon resonance (ISPR). The detection of DNA chains has been ...

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) scheme is proposed in which the local phase modulations of the coupled plasmons can interfere and yield phase-sensitive intensity modulations in the measured signal. The result is an increased traceability of the SPR shifts for biosensing applications. The main system limitation is the propagation distance of the coupled plasmon modes. This aspect is therefore ...

Large-scale studies of biomolecular interactions required for proteome-level investigations can benefit from a new class of emerging surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors: nanohole arrays and surface plasmon (SP) enhanced optical transmission. In this paper we present a real-time, label-free multiplex SPR imaging sensor in a microarray format. The system presented is built around a low-cost m...

introduction in this study, we describe the results of controlled synthesis and application of gold coated fe3o4/sio2 nano-shells combined with the optical property of gold for enhancement of selective photothermal interaction with cancerous cells based on the surface plasmon resonance (spr) phenomena. materials and methods magnetite nano-particles (mnps) were prepared by means of co-precipitat...

The highly sensitive nature of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and surface plasmon field-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS) are governed by the strong surface plasmon resonance-generated evanescent field at the metal/dielectric interface. The greatest evanescent field amplitude at the interface and the maximum attenuation of the reflectance are observed when a nonabsorbing d...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor is one of the optical sensor that exploits the specific properties of electromagnetic waves. SPR biosensors have been generally utilized in the field of environmental sciences for a real-time monitoring. It is a label-free technique that is utilized to recognize biological analytes and analyze the binding interactions between a liquid sample with a biom...

Surface sensitivity is an important factor that determines the minimum amount of biomolecules detected by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. We propose the use of oblique-angle-induced Fano resonances caused by two-mode coupling or three-mode coupling between the localized SPR mode and long-range surface plasmon polariton modes to increase the surface sensitivities of silver capped nanosl...

Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPR) is a well-established label-free detection technique for real-time biomolecular interaction measurements. An integrated LOC sensing system with fluidic control for sample movement to specific locations on microarray surface in combination with SPR imaging is demonstrated by the measurements of human IgG and anti-IgG interactions from 24 patterned regions.

We present an automated setup to measure the surface plasmon resonance ~SPR!-enhanced optical absorption spectra of molecular adsorbates. The setup detects the reflectivity at the SPR resonance angle as a function of the incident light wavelength. Because the resonance angle is wavelength dependent, a feedback mechanism adjusts the photodetector position to follow the resonance angle when the w...
