Abstract
This review addresses the recent developments in miniaturized microsystems or lab-on-a-chip devices for biosensing of different biomolecules: DNA, proteins, small molecules, and cells, especially at the single-molecule and single-cell level. In order to sense these biomolecules with sensitivity we have fabricated chip devices with respect to the biomolecule to be analyzed. The details of the fabrication are also dealt with in this review. We mainly developed microarray and microfluidic chip devices for DNA, protein, and cell analyses. In addition, we have introduced the porous anodic alumina layer chip with nanometer scale and gold nanoparticles for label-free sensing of DNA and protein interactions. We also describe the use of microarray and microfluidic chip devices for cell-based assays and single-cell analysis in drug discovery research.

Abstract
Next generation biosensor platforms will require significant improvements in sensitivity, specificity and parallelity in order to meet the future needs of a variety of fields ranging from in vitro medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical discovery and pathogen detection. Nano-biosensors, which exploit some fundamental nanoscopic effect in order to detect a specific biomolecular interaction, have now been developed to a point where it is possible to determine in what cases their inherent advantages over traditional techniques (such as nucleic acid microarrays) more than offset the added complexity and cost involved constructing and assembling the devices. In this paper we will review the state of the art in nanoscale biosensor technologies, focusing primarily on optofluidic type devices but also covering those which exploit fundamental mechanical and electrical transduction mechanisms. A detailed overview of next generation requirements is presented yielding a series of metrics (namely limit of detection, multiplexibility, measurement limitations, and ease of fabrication/assembly) against which the various technologies are evaluated. Concluding remarks regarding the likely technological impact of some of the promising technologies are also provided.

Abstract
A surface plasmon-enhanced resonance light scattering method has been developed. The method features strong light scattering but very weak background, and after incorporating with selective sample extraction and ion-association complexation using rhodamine B and KI as reactants, it could selectively determine Cr(VI) in both of standard and real samples, reaching a limit of detection down to 20 nM which is about 40-fold as sensitive as flame atomic absorption spectrometry and 140-fold as sensitive as fluorescent spectroscopy. Its linear working range was found in between 40 and 320 nM, with a relative standard deviation of peak height at <3% (n = 5) and recovery between 94.8-104.9%. In theory, the method is applicable to the analysis of all substances able to produce or destroy I2.

Abstract
A novel strategy is described for highly sensitive DNA detection and point mutation identification based on the combination of reverse molecular beacon with DNA ligase. A 5'-phosphoryl and 3'-ferrocene terminated DNA sequence is used as detection probe, which may be ligated to capture DNA immobilized on an electrode surface in the presence of a target DNA strand that is complementary to the ends of each DNA, since this allows formation of a nicked, double-stranded DNA. The ligation product may form a hairpin structure after the removal of target DNA. By this method, target DNA can be determined in the range from 3.4 x 10(-12) to 1.4 x 10(-7) M with a detection limit of 1.0 x 10(-12) M. In contrast to existing methods based on the conformation change of redox-labeled oligonucleotides, the proposed strategy offers several substantial advantages: first, the background peak current is eliminated as the ferrocene (Fc)-tagged oligonucleotide probe is specifically ligated to capture DNA; second, a "signal-on" mechanism makes the current intensity increase with increasing target DNA concentration; third, improved current signal is obtained due to the formation of the hairpin structure of ligation products. Additionally, the present system exhibits excellent capability to discriminate mutant target sequences from fully complementary target sequences.

Abstract
Microarrays of biomolecules are emerging as powerful tools for genomics, proteomics, and clinical assays, since they make it possible to screen biologically important binding events in a parallel and high throughput fashion. Because the microarrays are fabricated on a solid support, coating of the surface and immobilization strategy of the biomolecules are major issues for successful microarray fabrication. This review deals with both DNA microarrays and protein microarrays, and focuses on the various modification approaches for the two-dimensional surface materials and three-dimensional ones. In addition, the immobilization strategies including adsorption, covalent attachment, physical entrapment, and affinity attachment of the biomolecules are summarized, and advantage and limitation of representative efforts are discussed.

Abstract
Microarray formats have become an important tool for parallel (or multiplexed) monitoring of biomolecular interactions. Surface-immobilized probes like oligonucleotides, cDNA, proteins, or antibodies can be used for the screening of their complementary targets, covering different applications like gene or protein expression profiling, analysis of point mutations, or immunodiagnostics. Numerous reviews have appeared on this topic in recent years, documenting the intriguing progress of these miniaturized assay formats. Most of them highlight all aspects of microarray preparation, surface chemistry, and patterning, and try to give a systematic survey of the different kinds of applications of this new technique. This review places the emphasis on optical technologies for microarray analysis. As the fluorescent read out of microarrays is dominating the field, this topic will be the focus of the review. Basic principles of labeling and signal amplification techniques will be introduced. Recent developments in total internal reflection fluorescence, resonance energy transfer assays, and time-resolved imaging are addressed, as well as non-fluorescent imaging methods. Finally, some label-free detection modes are discussed, such as surface plasmon microscopy or ellipsometry, since these are particularly interesting for microarray development and quality control purposes.

Abstract
We proposed the multi-well field effect device for detection of charged biomolecules and demonstrated the detection principle for DNA recognition events using quasi-static capacitance-voltage (QSCV) measurement. The multi-well field effect device is based on the electrostatic interaction between molecular charges induced by DNA recognition and surface electrons in silicon through the Si(3)N(4)/SiO(2) thin double-layer. Since DNA molecules and DNA binders such as Hoechst 33258 have intrinsic charges in aqueous solutions, respectively, the charge density changes due to DNA recognition events at the Si(3)N(4) surface were directly translated into electrical signal such as a flat band voltage change in the QSCV measurement. The average flat band shifts were 20.7 mV for hybridization and -13.5 mV for binding of Hoechst 33258. From the results of flat band voltage shifts due to hybridization and binding of Hoechst 33258, the immobilization density of oligonucleotide probes at the Si(3)N(4) surface was estimated to be 10(8) cm(-2). The platform based on the multi-well field effect device is suitable for a simple and arrayed detection system for DNA recognition events.

Abstract
Thiol-terminated single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acids (ssDNA) can be immobilized onto pulsed plasma deposited poly(allylmercaptan) surfaces via disulfide bridge chemistry and are found to readily undergo nucleic acid hybridization. Unlike other methods for oligonucleotide attachment to solid surfaces, this approach is shown to be independent of substrate material or geometry, and amenable to highly efficient rewriting.

Abstract
A new simpler concept about the signal amplification of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) that is based on the utilization of mesoporous silica thin films is demonstrated. As compared to monolayer based coatings, mesoporous silica thin films of approximately 200 nm extend the interaction arena away from the metal, thus permitting the integration of the change in optical contrast at different distances from the sensor surface.

Abstract
Protein microarray is a promising technology that should combine rapidity and easy use with high throughput and versatility. This article describes a method in which an electrocopolymerization process is employed to graft biological molecules on to a chip so that surface plasmon resonance imaging may be used to detect molecular interactions. Copolymerization of pyrrole-modified protein and pyrrole is an efficient grafting process which immobilizes molecules at defined positions on a gold surface. Surface plasmon resonance imaging is an optical technique that allows real-time simultaneous detection of molecular interactions on a large number of spots without labeling. This method was successfully used to analyze antibody-antigen interactions. This illustrates its high specificity and good sensitivity and demonstrates its suitability for biological studies.

Abstract
An immobilisation procedure based on the direct coupling of thiolated probes (Probe-C6-SH) to bare gold sensor surfaces has been compared with a reference immobilisation method, based on the coupling of biotinylated probes onto a streptavidin-coated dextran-modified surface. The instrumentations used were a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and the optical instruments Biacore X and Spreeta based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The performances of the DNA-based sensors resulting from direct coupling of thiolated DNA probes onto electrodes of quartz crystals or gold SPR-chips have been studied in terms of the main analytical parameters, i.e. selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, etc. In particular, the two immobilisation approaches have been applied to the analysis of oligonucleotides, DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and genomic DNA enzymatically digested.

Abstract
We report a new high-throughput surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on combination of SPR imaging with polarization contrast and a spatially patterned multilayer SPR structure. We demonstrate that this approach offers numerous advantageous features including high-contrast SPR images suitable for automated computer analysis, minimum crosstalk between neighboring sensing channels and inherent compensation for light level fluctuations. Applications of a laboratory prototype of the high-throughput SPR sensor with 108 sensing channels for refractometry and biosensing are described. In refractometric experiments, the noise-limited refractive index resolution of the system has been established to be 3 x 10(-6) refractive index unit (RIU). Experimental data on detection of human choriogonadotropin (hCG) suggest that in conjunction with monoclonal antibodies against hCG, the reported SPR imaging sensor is capable of detecting hCG at concentrations lower than 500 ng/ml.

Abstract
We propose a surface modification procedure to construct DNA arrays for use in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging studies for the highly sensitive detection of a K-ras point mutation, enhanced with hydrogel nanospheres. A homobifunctional alkane dithiol was adsorbed on Au film to obtain the thiol surface, and ethyleneglycol diglycidylether (EGDE) was reacted to insert the ethyleneglycol moiety, which can suppress nonspecific adsorption during SPR analysis. Then streptavidin (SA) was immobilized on EGDE using tosyl chloride activation. Biotinylated DNA ligands were bound to the SA surface via biotin-SA interaction to fabricate DNA arrays. In SPR analysis, the DNA analyte was exposed on the DNA array and hybridized with the immobilized DNA probes. Subsequently, the hydrogel nanospheres conjugated with DNA probes were bound to the DNA analytes in a sandwich configuration. The DNA-carrying nanospheres led to SPR signal enhancement and enabled us to discriminate a K-ras point mutation in the SPR difference image. The application of DNA-carrying hydrogel nanospheres for SPR imaging assays was a promising technique for high throughput and precise detection of point mutations.

Abstract
A hybridization signal-amplified method based on a gold nanoparticle-supported DNA sequence for electrochemical DNA sensing has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential-pulse voltammetry, and atomic-force microscopy (AFM). Quantitative analysis showed that the peak current increment (DeltaIp) is linearly dependent on the concentration of the gold nanoparticle-supported DNA sequence Au2 over the range 0.51-8.58 pmol L(-1). AFM results indicated that the extent of surface hybridization was dependent on the concentration of the gold-nanoparticle-supported DNA sequence. Moreover, a new pair of peaks, which might arise from the special configuration of the gold-nanoparticle-supported DNA sequence, appeared in the cyclic voltammogram after hybridization. Although quite sensitive, this DNA sensing surface was not easily regenerated, so this kind of amplified method was suitable for disposable DNA sensors and chip-based gene diagnosis sensors.

Abstract
Biodegradable microparticles were prepared with alginate by the piezoelectric ejection process, and lectin (wheat germ agglutinin, WGA) was conjugated to alginate microparticles to take advantage of the protective effects of alginate microparticles and the mucoadhesive properties of WGA for improved oral delivery of insulin. Their specific interaction with model mucin was determined by pig mucin (PM) immobilized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor and in vitro adsorption studies. The hypoglycemic effects of alginate and WGA-conjugated alginate microparticles were examined after oral administration in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The alginate microparticles were fabricated by ejecting alginate/insulin solution into 0.1 M CaCl2 solution through a nozzle actuated by the piezoelectric transducer. The WGA was conjugated to alginate microparticles by activating hydroxyl groups with carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). The affinity constant (K(A)) of alginate-WGA microparticles from the SPR data (K(A)=5.455 g(-1) L) was about nine times greater than alginate microparticles (K(A)=0.628 g(-1) L). In vitro experiments in the mucin solution showed that the conjugated WGA enhanced the interaction about three times. In vivo studies with diabetic rats showed that the blood glucose level of SPF rats was lowest when alginate-WGA microparticles were orally administered. Larger K(A) of alginate-WGA microparticles resulted in larger glucose change (%) from base level. Still, it is not clear whether the transport of insulin through the intestinal mucous membrane was influenced by the increase of residence time at intestinal membrane through the specific adsorption of WGA-conjugated microparticles. However, it is concluded that alginate-WGA microparticles enhance the intestinal absorption of insulin sufficient to drop the glucose level of blood.

Abstract
We describe a method to improve the sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunoassays using a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed precipitation reaction. The precipitation reaction catalyzed by HRP bound to the SPR biosensor surface via a sandwich immunoassay induced a shift in the SPR angle. Human interferon (IFN)-gamma at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 ng/ml was detectable by this method. We also show that this biocatalytic signal amplification method can be applied to SPR imaging (SPRI), in an immunoassay of multiple proteins on a protein microarray format.

Abstract
Researchers and industrialists have taken advantage of the unusual optical, magnetic, electronic, catalytic, and mechanical properties of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles and nanoscale materials have proven to be useful for biological uses. Nanoscale materials hold a particular interest to those in the biological sciences because they are on the same size scale as biological macromolecules, proteins and nucleic acids. The interactions between biomolecules and nanomaterials have formed the basis for a number of applications including detection, biosensing, cellular and in situ hybridisation labelling, cell tagging and sorting, point-of-care diagnostics, kinetic and binding studies, imaging enhancers, and even as potential therapeutic agents. Noble metal nanoparticles are especially interesting because of their unusual optical properties which arise from their ability to support surface plasmons. In this review the authors focus on biological applications and technologies that utilise two types of related plasmonic phenomonae: localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The background necessary to understand the application of LSPR and SERS to biological problems is presented and illustrative examples of resonant Rayleigh scattering, refractive index sensing, and SERS-based detection and labelling are discussed.

Abstract
The highly sensitive detection of a K-ras point mutation with the aid of DNA-carrying microspheres as a flow-stress receptor is proposed at the surface of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. Single-stranded DNAs were immobilized onto epoxy-group-derivatized gold surfaces and the hybridization of DNA targets was monitored. The subsequent interaction with DNA-carrying micospheres enhanced the SPR response. The increase of flow rate during the event of dissociation changed the amount of detachment of the DNA-carrying microspheres for the mismatched pair. In addition, the viscosity was changed by addition of glycerol to the buffer. The increase of shear stress from the flow resulted in detachment of DNA-carrying microspheres hybridized with the mismatched sequence and increased the ability to discriminate a point mutation. This is a new method which not only increases the lower detection limit of evanescent wave-based biosensors, but also the ability to discriminate a point mutation which is a critical factor for ultrasensitive DNA detection in flow devices.

Abstract
The immobilisation efficiency of the complexes of oligonucleotide/poly(L-lysine) on two polymeric carboxy-rich surfaces, i.e. poly(styrene/maleic acid) (PSMA) and poly(styrene/maleic anhydride) (PSMAA), has been investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence-based measurements of DNA attachment. A molecularly thin layer of either electrostatically or covalently (via amide bond) bound poly(L-lysine) allows the 'switching' from COOH-based to NH(2)-based surface functionality. The results indicate that approximately 54-57% and 55-62% of the applied oligonucleotides bind to polymeric surfaces via the route of electrostatic adsorption of poly(L-lysine) and covalent bonding of poly(L-lysine), respectively. This system can be applied conveniently for the detection of nucleic acids in both disposable and reusable biosensors.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has recently gained attention as a label-free method for the detection of biological molecules binding onto functionalised surfaces. It is one of the most sensitive detection method for monitor variations in the thickness and refractive index in ultra-thin films. Here, the adsorption processes of oligonucleotides onto gold substrates have been investigated in aqueous buffer solution using SPR imaging measurements. The hybridization of a thiol-modified, single stranded oligonucleotide anchored to a gold surface via thiol group, with its complementary sequence has been observed and characterised monitoring the hybridization process by SPR equipment. In situ investigation of smallest changes in SPR imaging measurements dynamically performed in liquid phase in the presence of DNA complementary probes was performed. Infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy characterisation of the functionalised gold surfaces of the biosensor were compared with the images obtained by SPR experimental apparatus.

Abstract
Instrumental advances have allowed the continuous observation of single-molecule trajectories in free solution. Diffraction-limited spectral resolution at video frame rates is routinely achieved by using commercial, intensified, charge-coupled device cameras, low-power continuous-wave lasers, and standard optical microscopes. Either the native fluorescence from large biomolecules or emission from conjugated fluorescence labels can be employed to follow multiple molecules over many seconds. Both molecular motion at the liquid/solid interface and in bulk solution can be recorded. The former reveals adsorption and desorption probabilities that are related to chromatographic retention processes and to the applicability of biocompatible materials. The latter allows the manipulation of particles and large biomolecules to facilitate separation and identification.

Abstract
Highly-sensitive detection of a K-ras point mutation in codon 12, frequently found in pancreatic cancer, based on DNA-carrying hydrogel microspheres as a response enhancer for surface plasmon resonance (SPR), is described. Acrylamide-based microspheres with carboxyl groups were conjugated with DNA probes. Use of the DNA-carrying microsphere in the sandwich method, that is, binding of the microspheres with target DNAs at the sensor surface, enhanced the SPR response as a combined result of increased dielectric constant by the DNA-carrying microspheres. Microspheres lead to response enhancement, as shown by a 100-fold increase in sensitivity compared to that of non-amplified DNA target hybridization. In addition, the advantage of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) in the detection of a K-ras point mutation at the sensor surface by increasing temperature and flow rate is discussed. Results illustrate that the sandwich method through DNA-carrying microspheres for a SPR sensor is a promising approach for ultrasensitive DNA detection.

Abstract
The ability of streptavidin (SA) to simultaneously bind four biotins is often used in linker layers, where a biotinylated molecule is linked to a biotin-functionalized surface via SA. For biosensor and array applications, it is desirable that the SA linker layer be stable to drying and rehydration. In this study it was observed that a significant decrease in binding capacity of a SA layer occurred when that layer was dried. For this study a SA linker layer was constructed by binding SA to a biotin-containing alkylthiolate monolayer (BAT/OEG) self-assembled onto gold. Its stability after drying was investigated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Approximately a quarter of the SA layer was removed from the BAT/OEG surface upon drying and rehydration, suggesting disruption of SA-biotin binding when dry. This resulted in the dried SA layer losing approximately 40% of its biotinylated ferritin (BF) binding capacity. Coating the layer with trehalose before drying was found to inhibit the loss of SA from the BAT/OEG surface. SPR showed that the trehalose-protected SA linker layer retained approximately 91% of its original BF binding capacity after drying and rehydration. Atomic force microscopy, which was used to image individual surface-bound SA and BF molecules, qualitatively confirmed these observations.

Abstract
We have developed a sandwich-type enzyme-linked DNA sensor as a new electrochemical method to detect DNA hybridization. A partially ferrocenyl-tethered poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (Fc-D) was used as an electrocatalyst to enhance the electronic signals of DNA detection as well as a building block to immobilize capture probes. Fc-D was immobilized on a carboxylic acid-terminated self-assembled monolayer (SAM) by covalent coupling of unreacted amine in Fc-D to the acid. Thiolated capture probe was attached to the remaining amine groups of Fc-D on the SAM via a bifunctional linker. The target DNA was hybridized with the capture probe, and an extension in the DNA of the target was then hybridized with a biotinylated detection probe. Avidin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase was bound to the detection probe and allowed to generate the electroactive label, p-aminophenol, from p-aminophenyl phosphate enzymatically. p-Aminophenol diffuses into the Fc-D layer and is then electrocatalytically oxidized by the electronic mediation of the immobilized Fc-D, which leads to a great enhancement in signal. Consequently, the amount of hybridized target can be estimated using the intensity of electrocatalytic current. This DNA sensor exhibits a detection limit of 20 fmol. Our method was also successfully applied to the sequence-selective discrimination between perfectly matched and single-base mismatched target oligonucleotides.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the detection of bacterial cell-extracted 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) using an emerging technology, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging of DNA arrays. Surface plasmon resonance enables detection of molecular interactions on surfaces in response to changes in the index of refraction, therefore eliminating the need for a fluorescent or radioactive label. A variation of the more common SPR techniques, SPR imaging enables detection from multiple probes in a reusable array format. The arrays developed here contain DNA probes (15-21 bases) designed to be complementary to 16S rRNA gene sequences of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis as well as to a highly conserved sequence found in rRNAs from most members of the domain Bacteria. We report species-specific hybridization of cell-extracted total RNA and in vitro transcribed 16S rRNA to oligonucleotide probes on SPR arrays. We tested multiple probe sequences for each species, and found that success or failure of hybridization was dependent upon probe position in the 16S rRNA molecule. It was also determined that one of the probes intended to bind 16S rRNA also bound an unknown protein. The amount of binding to these probes was quantified with SPR imaging. A detection limit of 2 micro g ml-1 was determined for fragmented E. coli total cellular RNA under the experimental conditions used. These results indicate the feasibility of using SPR imaging for 16S rRNA identification and encourage further development of this method for direct detection of other RNA molecules.

Abstract
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor using a molecularly imprinted polymer-coated sensor chip for the detection of sialic acid was developed. The thinly coated polymer was prepared by co-polymerizing N,N,N-trimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate in the presence of p-vinylbenzeneboronic acid ester with sialic acid. The sensor showed a selective response to ganglioside of which sialic acid is located at the non-reducing end and gave a linear relationship from 0.1 to 1.0 mg of ganglioside.

Abstract
We describe a structure-specific cleavage-based READOUT strategy for surface-based DNA computing. The strategy was demonstrated in the solution of a 4-variable/3-satisfiability (SAT) problem. The READOUT step identifies the DNA molecules present at the end of the computational process. The specificity of the sequence detection used here derives from the sequence specificity of DNA hybridization coupled with the structure specificity of the enzymatic cleavage. The process is linear, yielding a higher uniformity of detection of the DNA computing products compared to that obtained with PCR amplification. The structure-specific cleavage-based readout is simple, accurate, and compatible with multiple-word DNA computing.

Abstract
The thickness of the gold film and its morphology, including the surface roughness, are very important for getting a good, reproducible response in the SPR technique. Here, we report a novel alternative approach for preparing SPR-active substrates that is completely solution-based. Our strategy is based on self-assembly of the gold colloid monolayer on a (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane-modified glass slide, followed by electroless gold plating. Using this method, the thickness of films can be easily controlled at the nanometer scale by setting the plating time in the same conditions. Surface roughness and morphology of gold films can be modified by both tuning the size of gold nanoparticles and agitation during the plating. Surface evolution of the Au film was followed in real time by UV-vis spectroscopy and in situ SPRS. To assess the surface roughness and electrochemical stability of the Au films, atomic force microscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used. In addition, the stability of the gold adhesion is demonstrated by three methods. The as-prepared Au films on substrates are reproducible and stable, which allows them to be used as electrodes for electrochemical experiments and as platforms for studying SAMs.

Abstract
Here we describe a method for the sensitive detection of a single-base mutation in DNA. We assembled a primer thiolated oligonucleotide, complementary to the target DNA as far as one base before the mutation site, on an electrode or a gold-quartz piezoelectric crystal. After hybridizing the target DNA, normal or mutant, with the sensing oligonucleotide, the resulting assembly is reacted with the biotinylated nucleotide, complementary to the mutation site, in the presence of polymerase. The labeled nucleotide is coupled only to the double-stranded assembly that includes the mutant site. Subsequent binding of avidin-alkaline phosphatase to the assembly, and the biocatalyzed precipitation of an insoluble product on the transducer, provides a means to confirm and amplify detection of the mutant. Faradaic impedance spectroscopy and microgravimetric quartz-crystal microbalance analyses were employed for electronic detection of single-base mutants. The lower limit of sensitivity for the detection of the mutant DNA is 1 x 10-14 mol/ml. We applied the method for the analysis of polymorphic blood samples that include the Tay-Sachs genetic disorder. The sensitivity of the method enables the quantitative analysis of the mutant with no PCR pre-amplification.

Abstract
The surface-sensitive optical technique of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging is used to characterize ultrathin organic and biopolymer films at metal interfaces in a spatially resolved manner. Because of its high surface sensitivity and its ability to measure in real time the interaction of unlabeled biological molecules with arrays of surface-bound species, SPR imaging has the potential to become a powerful tool in biomolecular investigations. Recently, SPR imaging has been successfully implemented in the characterization of supported lipid bilayer films, the monitoring of antibody-antigen interactions at surfaces, and the study of DNA hybridization adsorption. The following is included in this review: (a) an introduction to the principles of surface plasmon resonance, (b) the details of SPR imaging instrumental design, (c) a short discussion concerning resolution, sensitivity, and quantitation in SPR imaging, (d) the details of DNA array fabrication on chemically modified gold surfaces, and (e) two examples that demonstrate the application of the SPR imaging technique to the study of protein-DNA interactions.

Abstract
We have developed a multi-element transduction system which combines conventional SPR spectroscopy with one-dimensional SPR microscopy to create an effective platform for monitoring binding events on macro- or micro-patterned receptor arrays created on disposable sensor chips. This creates an effective platform for monitoring simultaneous binding events on each of the regions patterned with the receptors. This system has been specifically designed with commercially available components to allow relatively easy duplication. Furthermore, this system can use a proven, simple method to compensate for changes in the bulk index of refraction of the solution containing the analytes due to changes in temperature or solute concentration with simple modifications to the sensor chips alone. Preliminary results demonstrate how this system can be used to monitor several independent biospecific binding events simultaneously.
