Abstract
Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) is an optical method for detecting changes in refractive index by the interaction between incident light and delocalized electrons within specific metal thin films' localized "hot spots". LSPR-based sensors possess advantages, including their compact size, enhanced sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for point-of-care applications. This research focuses on the development of LSPR-based nanohole arrays (NHAs) as a platform for monitoring probe/target binding events in real time without labeling, for low-level biomolecular target detection in biomedical diagnostics. To achieve this objective, this study involves creating a liquid-phase setup for capturing target molecules. Finite-difference time-domain simulations revealed that a 75 nm thickness of gold (Au) is ideal for NHA structures, which were visually examined using scanning electron microscopy. To illustrate the functionality of the liquid-phase sensor, a PDMS microfluidic channel was fabricated using a 3D-printed mold with a glass slide base and a top glass cover slip, enabling reflectance-mode measurements from each of four device sectors. This study shows the design, fabrication, and assessment of NHA-based LSPR sensor platforms within a PDMS microfluidic channel, confirming the sensor's functionality and reproducibility in a liquid-phase environment.

Abstract
In this study, a surface plasmon resonance biosensor using angular interrogation based on a black phosphorene (BP) and graphene (G) heterostructure as two-dimensional materials are designed to enhance the sensitivity of conventional biosensors. The proposed structure is composed of eight layers: FK51A coupling prism, silver (Ag) thin film as the plasmonic metal, gold (Au) nanolayer in a protective role, BP nanosheets as an evanescent field enhancer, G monolayer as an immobilization process facilitator, DNA aptamer as biorecognition element, and phosphate buffered saline as a running buffer and sensing medium. To evaluate the performance of the proposed biosensor, analytical parameters such as minimum reflectivity (R m i n ), sensitivity, as well as the full width at half-maximum (FWHM), detection accuracy (DA), and quality factor (QF) are systematically assessed by the use of the transfer matrix method analytically and the finite-difference time-domain method numerically, to validate each other. It is observed that the structure has been optimized with 1.49 (RIU) for the coupling prism and the heterostructure T i O 2/A g/A u/B P/G thicknesses of 65/35/1/3.18/0.34 nm, respectively. It was revealed that the proposed biosensor offered the sensitivity of 356 (°/RIU), QF of 42.4 (R I U -1), R m i n of 0.07 (a.u), FWHM of 8.3 (degree), and DA of 0.22 (unitless) and outperformed those of other results published up to now from the sensitivity point of view.

Abstract
In this paper, a D-shaped optical fiber plasmonic sensor using planar and grating structures of silver and gold metals is simulated using the finite element method under the wave optics module of COMSOL Multiphysics. Performance defining parameters are based on (i) the transmittance curve, viz., resonance wavelength (λ r), shift in resonance wavelength (Δ λ r), minimum transmittance (T m i n ), and bandwidth (BW), and (ii) on electric field distribution of a surface plasmon wave, viz., penetration depth (PD) and propagation length (PL) obtained for the considered sensor structures. It is found that gold gives wider BW than silver (e.g., at 1.39 refractive index of the sample: 480% for the planar case and 241% for the grating case), which deteriorates sensor performance by degrading detection accuracy. However, gold gives higher Δ λ r than silver (at 1.40-1.39=0.01 change in refractive index of the sample: 18.33% for the planar case and 16.39% for the grating case), which improves sensor performance and enhances sensitivity. A grating slightly increases the BW and Δ λ r for both gold and silver. Further, with respect to silver, the sensor that contains gold demonstrates higher PD (e.g., 22.32% at 1.39 refractive index of the sample for the planar case) and lower PL (e.g., 22.74% at 1.39 refractive index of sample for the planar case). A grating increases the PD (e.g., 10% for silver at 1.39 refractive index of the sample), whereas it decreases the PL (e.g., 8.73% for silver at 1.39 refractive index of the sample). Lower PL signifies the localization of the field, whereas higher PD enables the sensor to detect larger molecules. Therefore, the sensor with grating metals provides better sensitivity with reduced detection accuracy for the detection of comparatively larger molecules.

BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:bios13050549. [PMID: 37232910 DOI: 10.3390/bios13050549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Since the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it has spread rapidly around the world. The nucleocapsid (N) protein is one of the most abundant SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Therefore, a sensitive and effective detection method for SARS-CoV-2 N protein is the focus of research. Here, we developed a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on the dual signal-amplification strategy of Au@Ag@Au nanoparticles (NPs) and graphene oxide (GO). Additionally, a sandwich immunoassay was utilized to sensitively and efficiently detect SARS-CoV-2 N protein. On the one hand, Au@Ag@Au NPs have a high refractive index and the capability to electromagnetically couple with the plasma waves propagating on the surface of gold film, which are harnessed for amplifying the SPR response signal. On the other hand, GO, which has the large specific surface area and the abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, could provide unique light absorption bands that can enhance plasmonic coupling to further amplify the SPR response signal. The proposed biosensor could efficiently detect SARS-CoV-2 N protein for 15 min and the detection limit for SARS-CoV-2 N protein was 0.083 ng/mL, with a linear range of 0.1 ng/mL~1000 ng/mL. This novel method can meet the analytical requirements of artificial saliva simulated samples, and the developed biosensor had a good anti-interference capability.

Abstract
Infectious diseases such as novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), Influenza, HIV, Ebola, etc kill many people around the world every year (SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, Ebola in 2013, HIV in 1980, Influenza in 1918). For example, SARS-CoV-2 has plagued higher than 317 000 000 people around the world from December 2019 to January 13, 2022. Some infectious diseases do not yet have not a proper vaccine, drug, therapeutic, and/or detection method, which makes rapid identification and definitive treatments the main challenges. Different device techniques have been used to detect infectious diseases. However, in recent years, magnetic materials have emerged as active sensors/biosensors for detecting viral, bacterial, and plasmids agents. In this review, the recent applications of magnetic materials in biosensors for infectious viruses detection have been discussed. Also, this work addresses the future trends and perspectives of magnetic biosensors.

Abstract
UNLABELLED With continuous mutations of SARS-CoV-2 virus, new highly contagious and fast-spreading variants have emerged, including Delta and Omicron. The popular label-free immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique can be used for real-time monitoring of the ligand-analyte or antibody-antigen interactions occurring on the sensor surface. In this work, an SPR-based biosensor combined with a nanodisk array was presented to enhance the sensitivity toward virus detection. The nanodisk arrays were employed to enhance the adsorption of molecules for better detection by increasing the SPR field. Four optimal sensing configurations of silver or gold nanodisks on gold thin films with different aspect ratios were achieved through systematic optimization of all parameters to yield the best sensor performance. The resonance angle can be modulated simply by the aspect ratio of nanodisk array. The sensitivity of the optimized sensors has been improved, and the detection limit is smaller than that of bare gold-based sensor. The multi-jump resonance angle curves at tiny refractive index can clearly distinguish the difference of trace concentrations, which is very important for the accurate detection of trace substances.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged as a major public health outbreak in late 2019 and was proclaimed a global pandemic in March 2020. A reflectometric-based RNA biosensor was developed by using cysteamine-stabilized gold nanoparticles (cysAuNPs) as the colorimetric probe for bioassay of COVID-19 RNA (SARS-CoV-2 RNA) sequence. The cysAuNPs aggregated in the presence of DNA probes via cationic and anionic electrostatic attraction between the positively charged cysteamine ligands and the negatively charged sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA, whilst in the presence of target RNAs, the specific recognition between DNA probes and targets depleted the electrostatic interaction between the DNA probes and cysAuNPs signal probe, leading to dispersed particles. This has rendered a remarkable shifting in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) on the basis of visual color change of the RNA biosensor from red to purplish hue at the wavelength of 765 nm. Optical evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA by means on reflectance transduction of the RNA biosensor based on cysAuNPs optical sensing probes demonstrated rapid response time of 30 min with high sensitivity, good linearity and high reproducibility across a COVID-19 RNA concentration range of 25 nM to 200 nM, and limit of detection (LOD) at 0.12 nM. qPCR amplification of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA showed good agreement with the proposed RNA biosensor by using spiked RNA samples of the oropharyngeal swab from COVID-19 patients. Therefore, this assay is useful for rapid and early diagnosis of COVID-19 disease including asymptomatic carriers with low viral load even in the presence of co-infection with other viruses that manifest similar respiratory symptoms.

Abstract
The new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, continues to affect the world and after more than two years of the pandemic, approximately half a billion people are reported to have been infected. Due to its high contagiousness, our life has changed dramatically, with consequences that remain to be seen. To prevent the transmission of the virus, it is crucial to diagnose COVID-19 accurately, such that the infected cases can be rapidly identified and managed. Currently, the gold standard of testing is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which provides the highest accuracy. However, the reliance on centralized rapid testing modalities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has made access to timely diagnosis inconsistent and inefficient. Recent advancements in photonic biosensors with respect to cost-effectiveness, analytical performance, and portability have shown the potential for such platforms to enable the delivery of preventative and diagnostic care beyond clinics and into point-of-need (PON) settings. Herein, we review photonic technologies that have become commercially relevant throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as emerging research in the field of photonic biosensors, shedding light on prospective technologies for responding to future health outbreaks. Therefore, in this article, we provide a review of recent progress and challenges of photonic biosensors that are developed for the testing of COVID-19, consisting of their working fundamentals and implementation for COVID-19 testing in practice with emphasis on the challenges that are faced in different development stages towards commercialization. In addition, we also present the characteristics of a biosensor both from technical and clinical perspectives. We present an estimate of the impact of testing on disease burden (in terms of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs), and Quality-Adjusted Life Days (QALDs)) and how improvements in cost can lower the economic impact and lead to reduced or averted DALYs. While COVID19 is the main focus of these technologies, similar concepts and approaches can be used and developed for future outbreaks of other infectious diseases.

Abstract
After the COVID-19 pandemic started all over the world, great importance was placed on the development of sensitive and selective bioanalytical assays for the rapid detection of the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 disease. In this present work, an impedimetric immunosensor was developed and applied for rapid, reliable, sensitive and selective detection of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein. To detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus, targeting of the spike S1 protein was achieved herein by using S1 protein-specific capture antibody (Cab-S1) immobilized screen-printed electrode (SPE) in combination with the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. With the impedimetric immunosensor, the detection limit for S1 protein in buffer medium was found to be 0.23 ng/mL (equal to 23.92 amol in 8 µL sample) in the linear concentration range of S1 protein from 0.5 to 10 ng/mL. In the artificial saliva medium, it was found to be 0.09 ng/mL (equals to 9.36 amol in 8 µL sample) in the linear concentration range of S1 protein between 0.1 and 1 ng/mL. The selectivity of the impedimetric immunosensor toward S1 protein was tested against influenza hemagglutinin antigen (HA) in the buffer medium as well as in artificial saliva.

Abstract
As developed countries' ability to control infectious diseases increases, it has become clear that genetic diseases are a major cause of disability, death, and human tragedy. Coronavirus has recently spread throughout the world, and the capacity to detect low concentrations and virus changes can help to prevent the sickness from spreading further. In this paper, a surface plasmon resonance sensor based on nanostructured thin films and graphene as a 2D material has been designed with high sensitivity and accuracy to identify DNA-based infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. The transfer matrix method assesses the effects of different structural factors, including nanolayer thickness on the sensor's performance. The results demonstrated that the sensor with the Kretschmann configuration has ultra-high sensitivity (192.19 deg/RIU) and a high figure of merit (634.68 RIU-1).

Abstract
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has put the entire world at risk and caused an economic downturn in most countries. This work provided theoretical insight into a novel fiber optic-based plasmonic biosensor that can be used for sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2. The aim was always to achieve reliable, sensitive, and reproducible detection. The proposed configuration is based on Ag-Au alloy nanoparticle films covered with a layer of graphene which promotes the molecular adsorption and a thiol-tethered DNA layer as a ligand. Here, the combination of two recent approaches in a single configuration is very promising and can only lead to considerable improvement. We have theoretically analyzed the sensor performance in terms of sensitivity and resolution. To highlight the importance of the new configuration, a comparison was made with two other sensors. One is based on gold nanoparticles incorporated into a host medium; the other is composed of a bimetallic Ag-Au layer in the massive state. The numerical results obtained have been validated and show that the proposed configuration offers better sensitivity (7100 nm\RIU) and good resolution (figure of merit; FOM = 38.88RIU - 1 and signal-to-noise ratio; SNR = 0.388). In addition, a parametric study was performed such as the graphene layers' number and the size of the nanoparticles.

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2022; 13:1784-1800. [PMID: 35519274 PMCID: PMC9045920 DOI: 10.1364/boe.451023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
We propose a theoretical framework to analyze quantitative sensing performance parameters, including sensitivity, full width at half maximum, plasmonic dip position, and figure of merits for different surface plasmon operating conditions for a Kretschmann configuration. Several definitions and expressions of the figure of merit have been reported in the literature. Moreover, the optimal operating conditions for each figure of merit are, in fact, different. In addition, there is still no direct figure of merit comparison between different expressions and definitions to identify which definition provides a more accurate performance prediction. Here shot-noise model and Monte Carlo simulation mimicking the noise behavior in SPR experiments have been applied to quantify standard deviation in the SPR plasmonic dip measurements to evaluate the performance responses of the figure of merits. Here, we propose and formulate a generalized figure of merit definition providing a good performance estimation to the detection limit. The measurement parameters employed in the figure of merit formulation are identified by principal component analysis and machine learning. We also show that the proposed figure of merit can provide a good estimation for the surface plasmon resonance performance of plasmonic materials, including gold and aluminum, with no need for a resource-demanding computation.

Abstract
Angular scanning-based surface plasmon resonance measurement has been utilized in label-free sensing applications. However, the measurement accuracy and precision of the surface plasmon resonance measurements rely on an accurate measurement of the plasmonic angle. Several methods have been proposed and reported in the literature to measure the plasmonic angle, including polynomial curve fitting, image processing, and image averaging. For intensity detection, the precision limit of the SPR is around 10–5 RIU to 10–6 RIU. Here, we propose a deep learning-based method to locate the plasmonic angle to enhance plasmonic angle detection without needing sophisticated post-processing, optical instrumentation, and polynomial curve fitting methods. The proposed deep learning has been developed based on a simple convolutional neural network architecture and trained using simulated reflectance spectra with shot noise and speckle noise added to generalize the training dataset. The proposed network has been validated in an experimental setup measuring air and nitrogen gas refractive indices at different concentrations. The measurement precision recovered from the experimental reflectance images is 4.23 × 10–6 RIU for the proposed artificial intelligence-based method compared to 7.03 × 10–6 RIU for the cubic polynomial curve fitting and 5.59 × 10–6 RIU for 2-dimensional contour fitting using Horner's method.

Abstract
The design and development of biosensors, analytical devices used to detect various analytes in different matrices, has emerged. Biosensors indicate a biorecognition element with a physicochemical analyzer or detector, i.e., a transducer. In the present scenario, various types of biosensors have been deployed in healthcare and clinical research, for instance, biosensors for blood glucose monitoring. Pathogenic microbes are contributing mediators of numerous infectious diseases that are becoming extremely serious worldwide. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 is one of the most recent examples of such communal and deadly diseases. In efforts to work towards the efficacious treatment of pathogenic viral contagions, a fast and precise detection method is of the utmost importance in biomedical and healthcare sectors for early diagnostics and timely countermeasures. Among various available sensor systems, optical biosensors offer easy-to-use, fast, portable, handy, multiplexed, direct, real-time, and inexpensive diagnosis with the added advantages of specificity and sensitivity. Many progressive concepts and extremely multidisciplinary approaches, including microelectronics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs), nanotechnologies, molecular biology, and biotechnology with chemistry, are used to operate optical biosensors. A portable and handheld optical biosensing device would provide fast and reliable results for the identification and quantitation of pathogenic virus particles in each sample. In the modern day, the integration of intelligent nanomaterials in the developed devices provides much more sensitive and highly advanced sensors that may produce the results in no time and eventually help clinicians and doctors enormously. This review accentuates the existing challenges engaged in converting laboratory research to real-world device applications and optical diagnostics methods for virus infections. The review's background and progress are expected to be insightful to the researchers in the sensor field and facilitate the design and fabrication of optical sensors for life-threatening viruses with broader applicability to any desired pathogens.

[PMID: 34737381 PMCID: PMC8569208 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-01246-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Detection of low-index materials such as aerogels and also detection of refractive index variations in these materials is still a challenging task. Here, a high figure of merit (FOM) sensor based on plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) is proposed for the detection of aerogel refractive index changes. In the proposed PIT sensor, the transparency window in an opaque region arises from the coupling between surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode and planar waveguide mode. By comprising sub-wavelength grating (SWG) in the planar waveguide region, the maximum of the electric field of waveguide occurs in a low index media. This facilitates detection of the aerogels when they are used as the low index material (sensing material). Application of the subwavelength grating waveguide also improves the sensitivity of the sensor by a factor of six compared to a conventional structure with a homogenous waveguide. The proposed structure has a quality factor of Q ≥ 1800, and a reflection of 86%, and can detect the refractive index changes as low as Δn = 0.002 (around n = 1.0). The lineshape, Q-factor, and resonant wavelength of the transparency spectrum can be controlled by tailoring the structural parameters. Our work also has potential application in switching, filtering, and spectral shaping.
