LSPR Refractive Index Sensitivity (Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance) E k B
Chemically synthesized LSPR substrates antibodies SAM gold nanorod APTES glass Clean slide NR slide EM: 50x15 nm rods at 100/um2 Spectrum of slide: NIR peak at 800 nm
LSPR Immunoassay: Kinetics kon koff d Keq = kon/koff = 1.9 x 109 M-1 koff = 6.5 x 10-5 s-1 kon = 1.3 x 105 M-1s-1
LSPR Immunoassay: Specificity d specific binding nonspecific binding
Increased Sensitivity: Proximity A shorter SAM increases the signal rate. A smaller capture agent (aptamer) increases the signal rate for a much smaller target (thrombin, 30 kD). kon = 9140 M-1s-1 koff = 6.6 x 10-4 s-1 Keq = 1.33 x 107 M-1 C16 4.7 nm/hr 6.5 nm/hr C11 6.1 nm/hr
Increased Sensitivity: Nanoparticle Shape Hybrid nanorod, nanosphere, and bipyramid substrate nanospheres nanorods LSPR shift (nm) bipyramids time (s)
Single Molecule LSPR Immunoassay Single particle dark field microspectroscopy under fluid flow: 50 nm Discrete blue-shifts correspond to single antigen unbinding, and occur at the correct rate:
miRNA injection LSPR Assay Immunoassay: -demonstrates real time molecular analysis -cannot compete with ELISA Basic Research: -analyze biomolecular interactions -useful in “resource poor” environment -explore non-microscope single particle analysis Biomedical: -microRNA detection
