Immunosensor Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance for Antigen Recognition

A novel immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance（SPR） has been developed for the recognition of antigen. The sensor was designed on the basis of the fixed angle of incidence and measuring the reflected intensities in a wavelength range of 430--750 nm in real-time. An ultra-bright white light-emitting diode（LED） was used as the light source. Molecular self-assembling in solution was used to form the sensing membrane on gold substrate. It has been seen that the sensitivity of the SPR sensor with 3-mercaptopropionic acid（MPA）/protein A（SPA） sensing membrane is considerably higher than that with MPA or SPA modified sensing membrane. The kinetic processes on the sensing membrane were studied. The human B factor（Bf）, an activator of complement 3（C3）, was recognized among the other antigens. This sensor can also be used for other antigen/antibody or adaptor/receptor recognition. Under optimized experimental conditions, the sensor has good selectivity, repeatability, and reversibility.

A low-cost surface plasmon resonance instrument based on detection of resonance excitation wavelength

A laboratory-made surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument based on the detection of resonance excitation wavelength has been successfully fabricated. The performance and workability of the SPR instrument was demonstrated as a DNA biosensor. Biotinylated single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssDNA) were chemically immobilized on a gold-film surface of the SPR instrument as a DNA probe for the detection of its fully complementary, half-complementary and non-complementary ssDNA. The immobilization of the ssDNA probe was done by avidin-biotin linkage. The ssDNA used were 12-mer oligonucleotides. The sensing mechanism was based on the shift in resonance wavelength of an excitation light beam as the target ssDNA hybridized with the ssDNA on the gold-film surface. The linear dynamic ranges of the DNA biosensor for fully complementary and half-complementary ssDNA are 0.04-1.2 pM and 0.08-1.1 pM, respectively. The DNA biosensor showed higher sensitivity to fully complementary ssDNA than to half-complementary ssDNA. But no shift of resonance wavelength to the non-complementary ssDNA was observed.     

Multispectral Plasmon of Anisotropic Core-shell Gold Nanorods@SiO2: Dual-band Absorption Enhancement with Coupling Dye Molecules

Direct evidence of effects of surface plasmon resonance(SPR) of gold nanorods(GNRs) on dual-band light absorption enhancement with coupling dye molecules was reported by introducing gold nanorod@SiO₂(GNR@SiO₂) core-shell nanoparticles into a photoelectric conversion system. GNR with asymmetric shape had unusual anisotropic SPR[transversal surface plasmon resonance(TSPR) and longitudinal surface plasmon resonance(LSPR)]. The excellent SPR of GNR made it a promising candidate as enhancing light absorption material to increase power conversion efficiency(PCE). The PCE was improved nearly 17.2% upon incorporating GNRs, mostly due to the increase in J_sc, while V_oc and FF were unchanged. The improvement was mostly contributed by the SPR of the GNRs with coupling of N719. And there was also a complementary to N719 in visible light range. Therefore, SPR is an effective tool in improving the photocurrent and consequently enhancement of PCE. The TSPR and LSPR effects of GNRs on light harvesting were reflected in the increased monochromatic incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency(IPCE). We also utilized finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) to investigate the light coupling of GNRs with TiO₂. Compare to the base anode, the IPCE of optimized electrode showed significant improvement and peaks broadening at 500-600 nm and 610-710 nm. We got an increase in overall conversion efficiency from 6.4% to 7.5%.

Rapid Detection of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus with Optical Microchip Sensors

Rapid identification of infectious disease pathogens such as foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) during new outbreaks of disease is of fundamental importance in disease control. SpectroSens^TM optical microchip sensors demonstrating rapid, label-free detection of FMDV are presented; these contain multiple high-precision planar Bragg gratings and function as low-cost, robust refractive-index sensors. Sensor selectivity to FMDV is imparted by functionalising the top-surface of specific sensing channels with anti-FMDV monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Selective binding of cognate antigens within the test sample to surface-immobilised FMDV mAbs results in localised changes in refractive index within specific sensing channels; these antibody-antigen interactions manifest as increases in wavelength of light reflected from the multi-channel sensor chip (light is coupled into and out of the chip via optical fibres). Selective identification of FMDV within minutes of sample introduction has been demonstrated by referenced measurement of changes in sensor reflected wavelength from anti-FMDV channels against sensor controls; simplified ‘snap-shot’ assay data are displayed in the form of a simple yes/no readout using a robust, hand-portable device, with further semi-quantitative information available to the ‘super-user’. The characteristics of the SpectroSens^TM multiplexed detection platform highlight its potential for in-field detection of foot-and-mouth disease and prospective expansion into diagnoses of other infectious veterinary diseases.     

Establishment of absolute diffuse reflectance scales using the NPL Reference Reflectometer

Absolute scales of radiance factor and diffuse reflectance are being established at the NPL using the Reference Reflectometer. In the basic instrument, a reflecting sample and a detector can be rotated about a common vertical axis to any angular positions relative to an incident light beam. The sample can also be displaced horizontally and vertically, allowing examination of its uniformity and removal for direct measurement of the incident beam. The polarization of the incident light is defined by a Rochon prism, and wavelengths are selected by means of interference filters or a double monochromator. The wavelength range has been extended into the near ultraviolet and the near infrared using UV-enhanced silicon and Peltier-cooled InGaAs photodiodes.

For absolute measurement of radiance factor, the light reaching the detector passes through a circular aperture whose diameter and distance from the reflecting surface are determined. The flux distribution is made closely similar when observing the incident beam and the reflected beam. Diffuse reflectance is then derived by numerical integration of results over a full hemisphere, avoiding errors due to nonuniformity of an integrating sphere and giving a direct link between radiance factor and diffuse reflectance scales.     

Simplification and evaluation of a gold-deposited SPR optical fiber sensor.

The structure of the sensing element of a gold-deposited optical fiber sensor was simplified and quantitative analyses of various alcohols with the sensor showed improvement of the performance. The sensor uses surface plasmon resonance (SPR) at the interface of a sample solution and a thin (10 - 70 nm) gold film deposited on half of the exposed core of the optical fiber. The sensor with a film thickness of 45 nm can detect a small change of 5.6 x 10(-5) refractive index (RI) units in the refractivity. The response time is less than 0.5 min and the relative standard deviation for measurements is less than or equal to 1%. A straight line with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995 was obtained below 10%, v/v in the calibration curve for methanol solutions of benzyl alcohol. The minimum of the response curve due to the maximum excitation of SPR in the refractivity range from 1.33 to 1.44 RI units shifts to a lower refractivity as the film becomes thicker. The response curves of the sensors were calculated from SPR theoretical equations while considering of the distribution in the thickness of the deposited gold films. The improvement in the performance of the sensor is discussed.     

A comparative analysis of localized and propagating surface plasmon resonance sensors: the binding of concanavalin a to a monosaccharide functionalized self-assembled monolayer

A comparative analysis of the properties of two optical biosensor platforms: (1) the propagating surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on a planar, thin film gold surface and (2) the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor based on surface confined Ag nanoparticles fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) are presented. The binding of Concanavalin A (ConA) to mannose-functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was chosen to highlight the similarities and differences between the responses of the real-time angle shift SPR and wavelength shift LSPR biosensors. During the association phase in the real-time binding studies, both SPR and LSPR sensors exhibited qualitatively similar signal vs time curves. However, in the dissociation phase, the SPR sensor showed an approximately 5 times greater loss of signal than the LSPR sensor. A comprehensive set of nonspecific binding studies demonstrated that this signal difference was not the consequence of greater nonspecific binding to the LSPR sensor but rather a systematic function of the Ag nanoparticle's nanoscale structure. Ag nanoparticles with larger aspect ratios showed larger dissociation phase responses than those with smaller aspect ratios. A theoretical analysis based on finite element electrodynamics demonstrates that this results from the characteristic decay length of the electromagnetic fields surrounding Ag nanoparticles being of comparable dimensions to the ConA molecules. Finally, an elementary (2 x 1) multiplexed version of an LSPR carbohydrate sensing chip to probe the simultaneous binding of ConA to mannose and galactose-functionalized SAMs has been demonstrated.
