Abstract
Advances in microfluidic device miniaturization and system integration contribute to the development of portable, handheld, and smartphone-compatible devices. These advancements in diagnostics have the potential to revolutionize the approach to detect and respond to future pandemics. Accordingly, herein, recent advances in point-of-care testing (POCT) of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using various microdevices, including lateral flow assay strips, vertical flow assay strips, microfluidic channels, and paper-based microfluidic devices, are reviewed. However, visual determination of the diagnostic results using only microdevices leads to many false-negative results due to the limited detection sensitivities of these devices. Several POCT systems comprising microdevices integrated with portable optical readers have been developed to address this issue. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, effective POCT strategies for COVID-19 based on optical detection methods have been established. They can be categorized into fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, and wearable sensing. We introduced next-generation pandemic sensing methods incorporating artificial intelligence that can be used to meet global health needs in the future. Additionally, we have discussed appropriate responses of various testing devices to emerging infectious diseases and prospective preventive measures for the post-pandemic era. We believe that this review will be helpful for preparing for future infectious disease outbreaks.

[PMID: 36291001 PMCID: PMC9599922 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100862] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has again emphasized the significance of developing rapid and highly sensitive testing tools for quickly identifying infected patients. Although the current reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) diagnostic techniques can satisfy the required sensitivity and specificity, the inherent disadvantages with time-consuming, sophisticated equipment and professional operators limit its application scopes. Compared with traditional detection techniques, optical biosensors based on nanomaterials/nanostructures have received much interest in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 due to the high sensitivity, high accuracy, and fast response. In this review, the research progress on optical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, including fluorescence biosensors, colorimetric biosensors, Surface Enhancement Raman Scattering (SERS) biosensors, and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensors, was comprehensively summarized. Further, promising strategies to improve optical biosensors are also explained. Optical biosensors can not only realize the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 but also be applied to judge the infectiousness of the virus and guide the choice of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, showing enormous potential to become point-of-care detection tools for the timely control of the pandemic.

Abstract
Arterial hypertension (HTN) is a global public health concern and an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and renal failure. We previously reported overexpression of ENaC on the plasma membrane of human platelets is a hallmark of HTN. In this double-blinded study of an open population (n = 167), we evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic assay based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugated to an antibody against epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) expressed on platelets, which is detected using a fluorescent anti-ENaC secondary antibody and spectrofluorometry. Using the cutoff value for the AuNP-anti-ENaC assay, we confirmed the diagnosis for 62.1% of patients with clinical HTN and detected 59.7% of patients had previously undiagnosed HTN. Although some shortcomings in terms of accurately discriminating healthy individuals and patients with HTN still need to be resolved, we propose this AuNP-anti-ENaC assay could be used for initial screening and early diagnosis to critically improve opportune clinical management of HTN.

Abstract
A high-sensitivity surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on the coupling of Au grating and Au film is investigated through simulations and experiments. The SPR sensor is designed by using a hybrid method composed of genetic algorithm (GA) and rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA). The numerical results indicate the sensor has an angular sensitivity of 397.3°/RIU (refractive index unit), which is approximately 2.81 times higher than the conventional Au-based sensor and it is verified by experiments. Theoretical analysis, by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, demonstrates the co-coupling between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating on the surface of Au film and localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in the Au grating nanostructure, improving the sensitivity of the SPR sensor. According to the optimized structural parameters, the proposed sensor is fabricated using e-beam lithography and magnetron sputtering. In addition, the proposed sensor is very sensitive to the detection of small molecules. The limit of detection (LOD) for okadaic acid (OA) is 0.72 ng/mL based on an indirect competitive inhibition method, which is approximately 38 times lower than the conventional Au sensor. Such a high-sensitivity SPR biosensor has potential in the applications of immunoassays and clinical diagnosis.

Towards electrochemical surface plasmon resonance sensor based on the molecularly imprinted polypyrrole for glyphosate sensing. Talanta 2022; 241:123252.

Abstract
In this research the molecular imprinting technology was applied for the formation of glyphosate-sensitive layer. The glyphosate imprinted conducting polymer polypyrrole (MIPpy) was deposited on a gold chip/electrode and used as an electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (ESPR) sensor. The results described in this study disclose some restrictions and challenges, which arise during the development of glyphosate ESPR sensor based on the molecularly imprinted polymer development stage. It was demonstrated, that glyphosate could significantly affect the electrochemical deposition process of molecularly imprinted polymer on the electrode. The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) have demonstrated that glyphosate molecules tend to interact with bare gold electrode and thus hinder the polypyrrole deposition. As a possible solution, the formation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 11-(1H-Pyrrol-1-yl)undecane-1-thiol (PUT) before electrochemical deposition of MIPpy and NIPpy was applied. Dissociation constant (KD) and free energy of Gibbs (ΔG0) values of glyphosate on MIPpy and Ppy without glyphosate imprints (NIPpy) were calculated. For the interaction of glyphosate with MIPpy the KD was determined as 38.18 ± 2.33⋅10-5 and ΔG0 as -19.51 ± 0.15 kJ/mol.

Abstract
We proposed a differential fiber-optic refractive index sensor based on coupled plasmon waveguide resonance (CPWR) in the C-band. The sensor head is a BK7 prism coated with ITO/Au/ITO/TiO2 film. CPWR is excited on the film by the S-polarized components of an incident light. The narrow absorption peak of CPWR makes it possible to realize dual-wavelength differential intensity (DI) interrogation by using only one incident point. To implement DI interrogation, we used a DWDM component to sample the lights with central wavelengths of 1529.55 and 1561.42 nm from the lights reflected back by the sensor head. The intensities of the dual-wavelength lights varied oppositely within the measurement range of refractive index, thus, a steep slope was produced as the refractive index of the sample increased. The experimental results show that the sensitivity is 32.15/RIUs within the measurement range from 1.3584 to 1.3689 and the resolution reaches 9.3 × 10−6 RIUs. Benefiting from the single incident point scheme, the proposed sensor would be easier to calibrate in bio-chemical sensing applications. Moreover, this sensing method is expected to be applied to retro-reflecting SPR sensors with tapered fiber tip to achieve better resolution than wavelength interrogation.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease that takes place when human cells grow uncontrollably. When detected and cured early, it can be non-life-threatening. It becomes life-threatening in case of late discovery where it affects the ability of an organ to function. In this work, a symmetric slab waveguide sensor is analyzed for the detection of cancer cells. The covering layers are assumed anisotropic lossy dispersive left-handed materials. Different from other sensors in which the analyte is located in the cladding region where the evanescent field exists, the cancerous cell is placed in the guiding film region that supports the oscillating field. Hence, the proposed sensor avoids the acute weakness of conventional optical waveguide sensors. Due to the high localization of the electromagnetic wave in the analyte region, the proposed sensor shows unusual sensitivity enhancement. The results revealed that the sensitivities obtained are 110%, 325%, and 450% for the first, second, and third modes, respectively. The enhancement of the sensitivity of the third mode relative to the conventional waveguide sensors is nearly a factor of 18.

Abstract
The development of a nanoparticle-based optical platform has been presented as a biosensor for detecting target-specific plant virus DNA. The binding dynamics of gold nanoparticles has been studied on the amine-functionalized surface by the attenuated total reflection (ATR)-based evanescent wave absorption method monitoring the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The developed surface was established as a refractive index sensor by monitoring the LSPR absorption peak of gold nanoparticles. This nanoparticle-immobilized surface was explored to establish as a biosensing platform with target-specific immunoglobulin (IgG) antibody-antigen interaction. The IgG concentration-dependent variation of absorbance was correlated with the refractive index change. After successfully establishing this ATR configuration as an LSPR-based biosensor, the single-stranded DNA of the chilli leaf curl virus was detected using its complementary DNA sequence as a receptor. The limit of detection of this sensor was determined to be 1.0 μg/mL for this target viral DNA. This ATR absorption technique has enormous potential as an LSPR based nano-biosensor for the detection of other begomoviruses.

Abstract
The potential applications of metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) devices include biosensors for the detection of trace amounts in biosciences, biotechnology, and pathogens that are relevant to medical diagnostics and food control. In the present study, the silver (Ag) film thickness (56 nm) of an MEF system was calibrated to maximize the depth-to-width ratio (Γ) of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) active metal from reflectance dip curves. Upon plasmon coupling with thermally evaporated Ag, we demonstrated a 2.21-fold enhancement compared to the pristine flat substrate with the coefficient of variation (CV) ≈0.22% and the limit of detection (LOD) 0.001 mg L-1 of the concentration of an Alexa Fluor 488-labeled anti-C-reactive protein antibody (CRP@Alexa fluor 488). The structure was developed to simplify the in situ generation of biosensors for the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to determine Rhodamine B (RhB) with a highly robust performance. The procedure presented a simple and rapid sample pretreatment for the determination of RhB with a limit of quantification of 10-10 M and a satisfactory linear response (0.98). The results showed the excellent performance of the surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE), which opens up possibilities for the accurate detection of small-volume and low-concentration target analytes due to the improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Abstract
We propose a method to maintain the symmetry condition of the refractive index with respect to a dielectric buffer layer for a long-range surface plasmon resonance (LRSPR) configuration. The symmetry condition was maintained by changing the concentration of the ethylene glycol aqueous solution (sample buffer layer) to match the refractive index of the MgF2 film. Maintenance of the symmetry condition is necessary for exciting the LRSPR mode and increasing the electric field intensity near the film. We used a four-phase Kretschmann resonance setup composed of a K9 prism, MgF2 film, Ag film, and sample buffer layer. The incident angle-dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra were measured in the evanescent field. At the SPR angle, the SERS signal of the symmetric configuration was 60 times higher than that of the conventional SPR configuration. Moreover, the electric field penetration depth of the symmetric long-range surface plasmon configuration (>1000 nm) was longer than that of their asymmetric counterparts. The enhancement factor of the symmetric configuration was 8.6 × 107, which corresponded to the lowest detectable concentration for 4-mercaptopyridine, reaching 1.0 × 10-10 M at the resonance angle. Thus, the symmetric LRSPR configuration has great potential for label-free sensing and detection of macromolecules and biomolecules.

Abstract
We proposed a differential fiber-optic SPR remote sensor with ultra-high sensitivity in telecom band. The working band of the sensor is designed as the C-band which is the low loss band of optical fiber communication aiming to improve the sensitivity and enable the capability of remote monitoring. The sensor head is a BK7 prism coated with Au/TiO2 films, enabling two channels for differential intensity interrogation. The intensities of the reflected lights through the channels vary oppositely within the measurement range of refractive index. Due to the sharp dip of angular resonant response in the C-band, the differential signal produces a steep slope as the refractive index of the sample varies, thus higher sensitivity is expected in a narrow measurement range. According to the results, the sensitivity is as high as 456 V/RIUs within the narrow measurement range of 1.3×10-2 RIUs and the resolution reaches to 6×10-6 RIUs. The measurement range can be tuned conveniently by adjusting the thickness of TiO2 film and can be expanded by increasing the number of sensing channels, which provides great convenience for the application of biosensor requiring high sensitivity.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:3317-3349. [PMID: 32313998 PMCID: PMC7214504 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-020-02581-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Revised: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Direct optical detection has proven to be a highly interesting tool in biomolecular interaction analysis to be used in drug discovery, ligand/receptor interactions, environmental analysis, clinical diagnostics, screening of large data volumes in immunology, cancer therapy, or personalized medicine. In this review, the fundamental optical principles and applications are reviewed. Devices are based on concepts such as refractometry, evanescent field, waveguides modes, reflectometry, resonance and/or interference. They are realized in ring resonators; prism couplers; surface plasmon resonance; resonant mirror; Bragg grating; grating couplers; photonic crystals, Mach-Zehnder, Young, Hartman interferometers; backscattering; ellipsometry; or reflectance interferometry. The physical theories of various optical principles have already been reviewed in detail elsewhere and are therefore only cited. This review provides an overall survey on the application of these methods in direct optical biosensing. The "historical" development of the main principles is given to understand the various, and sometimes only slightly modified variations published as "new" methods or the use of a new acronym and commercialization by different companies. Improvement of optics is only one way to increase the quality of biosensors. Additional essential aspects are the surface modification of transducers, immobilization strategies, selection of recognition elements, the influence of non-specific interaction, selectivity, and sensitivity. Furthermore, papers use for reporting minimal amounts of detectable analyte terms such as value of mass, moles, grams, or mol/L which are difficult to compare. Both these essential aspects (i.e., biochemistry and the presentation of LOD values) can be discussed only in brief (but references are provided) in order to prevent the paper from becoming too long. The review will concentrate on a comparison of the optical methods, their application, and the resulting bioanalytical quality.

Abstract
Infectious diseases such as HIV-1/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis B (HBV), and malaria still exert a tremendous health burden on the developing world, requiring rapid, simple and inexpensive diagnostics for on-site diagnosis and treatment monitoring. However, traditional diagnostic methods such as nucleic acid tests (NATs) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) cannot be readily implemented in point-of-care (POC) settings. Recently, plasmonic-based biosensors have emerged, offering an attractive solution to manage infectious diseases in the developing world since they can achieve rapid, real-time and label-free detection of various pathogenic biomarkers. Via the principle of plasmonic-based optical detection, a variety of biosensing technologies such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), colorimetric plasmonic assays, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) have emerged for early diagnosis of HIV-1, TB, HBV and malaria. Similarly, plasmonic-based colorimetric assays have also been developed with the capability of multiplexing and cellphone integration, which is well suited for POC testing in the developing world. Herein, we present a comprehensive review on recent advances in surface chemistry, substrate fabrication, and microfluidic integration for the development of plasmonic-based biosensors, aiming at rapid management of infectious diseases at the POC, and thus improving global health.

Abstract
The survey focuses on the most significant contributions in the field of fiber optic plasmonic sensors (FOPS) in recent years. FOPSs are plasmonic sensor-based fiber optic probes that use an optical field to measure the biological agents. Owing to their high sensitivity, high resolution, and low cost, FOPS turn out to be potential alternatives to conventional biological fiber optic sensors. FOPS use optical transduction mechanisms to enhance sensitivity and resolution. The optical transduction mechanisms of FOPS with different geometrical structures and the photonic properties of the geometries are discussed in detail. The studies of optical properties with a combination of suitable materials for testing the biosamples allow for diagnosing diseases in the medical field.

Abstract
Super-resolution imaging based on single-molecule localization microscopy combined with the surface plasmon polariton (SPP)-enhanced fluorescence of spontaneously blinking fluorophores was demonstrated to visualize the nanoscale-level positioning information of cell-adhesion-associated proteins. Glass substrates with a deposited silver layer were utilized to induce a SPP-enhanced field on the silver surface and significantly strengthen the fluorescence signals of the fluorophores by more than 300%. The illumination power density for localization imaging at a spatial resolution of 25 ± 11 nm was 31.6 W cm-2. This low illumination power density will facilitate the reduction of phototoxicity of the biospecimens for single-molecule localization imaging. The proposed strategy provides a uniform distribution of the SPP-enhanced field on the silver surface, enabling visualization of the spatial distribution of labeled proteins without interference caused by the enhanced field distribution.

Abstract
Sensitive detection and monitoring of biological interactions in a high throughput, multiplexed array format has numerous advantages. We report here a method to enhance detection sensitivity in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and SPR imaging via the effect of accumulation of conjugated nanoparticles of varying sizes. Bacterial cholera toxin (CT) was chosen for the demonstration of enhanced immunoassay by SPR. After immobilization of CT on a gold surface, specific recognition is achieved by biotinylated anti-CT. The signal is amplified by the attachment of biotinylated 20 nm AuNP via streptavidin bridge, followed by attachment of 5 nm streptavidin-functionalized Fe3O4NP to the AuNP-biotin surface. The continuous surface binding of two differently sized conjugated nanoparticles effectively increases their packing density on surface and significantly improves SPR detection sensitivity, allowing quantitative measurement of CT at very low concentration. The dense packing of conjugated nanoparticles on the surface was confirmed by atomic force microscopy characterization. SPR imaging of the immunoassay for high-throughput analysis utilized an Au-well microarray that attenuated the background resonance interference on the resulting images. A calibration curve of conjugated nanoparticle binding signal amplification for CT detection based on surface coverage has been obtained that shows a correlation in a range from 6.31 × 10-16 to 2.51 × 10-13 mol/cm2 with the limit of detection of 5.01 × 10-16 mol/cm2. The absolute quantity of detection limit using SPR imaging was 0.25 fmol. The versatile nanoparticles and biotin-streptavidin interaction used here should allow adaptation of this enhancement method to many other systems that include DNA, RNA, peptides, and carbohydrates, opening new avenues for ultrasensitive analysis of biomolecules.

Abstract
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)-based sensors have the advantage of being label-free, enzyme-free and real-time. However, their spreading in multidisciplinary research is still mostly limited to prism-coupled devices. Plasmonic gratings, combined with a simple and cost-effective instrumentation, have been poorly developed compared to prism-coupled system mainly due to their lower sensitivity. Here we describe the optimization and signal enhancement of a sensing platform based on phase-interrogation method, which entails the exploitation of a nanostructured sensor. This technique is particularly suitable for integration of the plasmonic sensor in a lab-on-a-chip platform and can be used in a microfluidic chamber to ease the sensing procedures and limit the injected volume. The careful optimization of most suitable experimental parameters by numerical simulations leads to a 30⁻50% enhancement of SPR response, opening new possibilities for applications in the biomedical research field while maintaining the ease and versatility of the configuration.

Abstract
We observe and analyze multiple Fano resonances and the plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) arising from waveguidecoupled surface plasmon resonance in a metal-dielectric Kretschmann configuration. It is shown that the simulation results for designed structures agree well with those of the dispersion relation of waveguide theory. We demonstrate that the coupling between the surface plasmon polariton mode and multi-order planar waveguide modes leads to multiple Fano resonances and PIT. The obtained results show that the number of Fano resonances and the linewidth of resonances depend on two structural parameters, the Parylene C and SiO2 layers, respectively. For the sensing action of Fano resonance, the figure of merit for the sensitivity by intensity is estimated to be 44 times higher than that of conventional surface plasmon resonance sensors. Our research reveals the potential advantage of sensors with high sensitivity based on coupling between the SPP mode and multi-order PWG modes.

Application of Long-Range Surface Plasmon Resonance for ABO Blood Typing. Int J Anal Chem 2016; 2016:1432781.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate a long-range surface plasmon resonance (LR-SPR) biosensor for the detection of whole cell by captured antigens A and B on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs) as a model. The LR-SPR sensor chip consists of high-refractive index glass, a Cytop film layer, and a thin gold (Au) film, which makes the evanescent field intensity and the penetration depth longer than conventional SPR. Therefore, the LR-SPR biosensor has improved capability for detecting large analytes, such as RBCs. The antibodies specific to blood group A and group B (Anti-A and Anti-B) are covalently immobilized on a grafting self-assembled monolayer (SAM)/Au surface on the biosensor. For blood typing, RBC samples can be detected by the LR-SPR biosensor through a change in the refractive index. We determined that the results of blood typing using the LR-SPR biosensor are consistent with the results obtained from the agglutination test. We obtained the lowest detection limits of 1.58 × 105 cells/ml for RBC-A and 3.83 × 105 cells/ml for RBC-B, indicating that the LR-SPR chip has a higher sensitivity than conventional SPR biosensors (3.3 × 108 cells/ml). The surface of the biosensor can be efficiently regenerated using 20 mM NaOH. In summary, as the LR-SPR technique is sensitive and has a simple experimental setup, it can easily be applied for ABO blood group typing.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss four different configurations of metal/dielectric thin films systems: surface plasmon resonance, coupled plasmon-waveguide resonance, metallic waveguide-coupled surface plasmon resonance, and dielectric waveguide-coupled surface plasmon resonance. For the waveguide-coupled surface plasmon resonance thin film systems, we explore several waveguide thicknesses that produce different resonant line shapes, including plasmon-induced transparency and waveguide-induced transparency. This paper presents a theoretical analysis and comparison of the intensity and phase sensitivities to changes in the index of refraction in a sensing layer external to the thin film system. We discuss the material parameters and the variations that led to the sensitivity variations in each thin film system. We show that when the surface plasmon polariton mode is coupled with dielectric waveguides, there is an enhancement of the sensitivity. The plasmon-induced transparency is used to increase the dynamic range of the system and shows a monotonically increasing intensity in the range of 0.4 refractive index units.

Abstract
A waveguide-coupled surface phonon resonance (SPhR) sensor with super-resolution based on Fano resonance (FR) by using a multilayer system within the Kretschmann configuration in the mid-infrared wavelength region is proposed. Due to the coherent interference of the waveguide and the surface phonon polariton modes, the calculated reflectivity spectrum possesses sharp asymmetric FR dips. An ultra-small linewidth is formed because of the Fano coupling, and the physical features contribute to a highly efficient nano-sensor for refractive index sensing. The bulk and surface sensitivity by intensities are greatly enhanced relative to those of conventional SPhR sensors.

Abstract
In this paper, the noninvasive and real-time plasmon waveguide resonance (PWR) thermometry is reported theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. Owing to the enhanced evanescent field and thermal shield effect of its dielectric layer, a PWR thermometer permits accurate temperature sensing and has a wide dynamic range. A temperature measurement sensitivity of 9.4 × 10−3 °C is achieved and the thermo optic coefficient nonlinearity is measured in the experiment. The measurement of water cooling processes distributed in one dimension reveals that a PWR thermometer allows real-time temperature sensing and has potential to be applied for thermal gradient analysis. Apart from this, the PWR thermometer has the advantages of low cost and simple structure, since our transduction scheme can be constructed with conventional optical components and commercial coating techniques.

We report an Au − MgF(2) plasmon waveguide resonance (PWR) sensor in this work. The characteristics of this sensing structure are compared with a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) structure theoretically and experimentally. The transverse-magnetic-polarized PWR sensor has a refractive index resolution of 9.3 × 10(-7) RIU, which is 6 times smaller than that of SPR at the incident light wavelength of 633 nm, and the transverse-electric-polarized PWR sensor has a refractive index resolution of 3.0 × 10(-6) RIU. This high-resolution sensor is easy to build and is less sensitive to film coating deviations.

Abstract
In this work, we have proposed a novel long-range surface plasmon resonance (LRSPR) sensor with sharp reflection spectrum, which consists of a glass prism, a (A/B)4-type waveguide-coupled layer and a metal layer. To reveal its sharp reflection spectrum perfectly, we have simulated the effects of all factors of this LRSPR sensor on the reflection spectrum, and finally presented the optimal parameters of the LRSPR sensor with sharp reflection spectrum.

Abstract
The waveguide-coupled bimetallic (WcBiM) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip had been utilized in the intensity interrogation detection mode to detect amyloid-β42 (Aβ42), a biomarker of the Alzheimer disease. The SPR reflectance curve of the WcBiM chip has the narrower full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) compared with the SPR reflectance curve of the conventional gold (Au) chip, resulting in the steeper gradient. For the enhancement of resolution, the light source was fixed at an angle where the slope of the reflectance curve is the steepest, and the change in the reflectance was monitored. For the detection of Aβ42, the antibody of Aβ42 (anti-Aβ42) was immobilized on the WcBiM SPR chip using the self-assembled monolayer. The SPR responses, the average changes in the reflectance to the Aβ42 at the concentrations of 100 pg/ml, 250 pg/ml, 500 pg/ml, 750 pg/ml, 1,000 pg/ml, and 2,000 pg/ml were 0.0111%, 0.0305%, 0.0867%, 0.1712%, 0.3021%, and 0.5577%, respectively, for the three replicates. From linear regression analysis, the calibration curve indicated that the SPR response had a linear relation with Aβ42 with the concentration in the range of 100 pg/ml to 2,000 pg/ml. A control experiment showed the anti-Aβ42-modified surface of the WcBiM chip had a high specificity to Aβ42. Thus, the enhanced resolution by utilizing the WcBiM SPR chip in the intensity interrogation detection mode aids the diagnosis of the Alzheimer disease by detecting the Aβ42 around the criteria concentration (500 pg/ml) without any labeling.

Abstract
A biosensor capable of highly sensitive detection of trace chromium (VI) with a simple hollow-core metal-cladding waveguide (HCMW) structure is theoretically modeled and experimentally demonstrated. Owing to the high sensitivity of the excited ultrahigh-order modes in the waveguide, a tiny variation of the extinction coefficients in the waveguide guiding layer where the chromate ions reacts with the diphenylcarbazide (DPC) can lead to a significant change of light intensity in the reflection spectrum. The experimental results indicate that using the proposed method, the chromium (VI) sensitivity detection limit can be as low as 1.2 nM, which represents a 16-fold improvement compared to the surface plasmon field-enhanced resonance light scattering (SP-RLS) method, and a 4-fold improvement compared to the flame atomic absorption spectrometry and fluorimetry spectroscopy, respectively.

Abstract
The characteristics of a waveguide-coupled bimetallic (WcBiM) chip in a miniaturized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor and its detection capability for a low molecular weight biomolecule were investigated. The configuration of the WcBiM chip was gold (Au)/waveguide (ZnS-SiO2)/silver (Ag). In the intensity measurement mode, the sensitivity could be improved by reducing the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the reflectance curve. The FWHM of the WcBiM chip is narrower than that of the Au chip, which suggests that the slope of the reflectance curve for the WcBiM chip is steeper. In order to generate enhanced resolution, the reflectance should be monitored at the specific angle where the slope is the steepest in the reflectance curve. For the detection of biotin that is a low molecular weight biomolecule, streptavidin was formed on the SPR sensor chip surface. The response of the SPR to biotin at various concentrations was then acquired. The sensitivities of the WcBiM chip and the Au chip were 0.0052%/(ng/ml) and 0.0021%/(ng/ml), respectively. The limit of detection of the biotin concentration for both the WcBiM and Au chips was calculated. The values were 2.87 ng/ml for the WcBiM chip and 16.63 ng/ml for the Au chip. Enhancement of the sensitivity in the intensity detection mode was achieved using the WcBiM chip compared with the Au chip. Therefore, sufficient sensitivity for the detection of a disease-related biomarker is attainable with the WcBiM chip in the intensity measurement mode using a miniaturized SPR sensor.

Abstract
We report here the experimental demonstration of a high-performance optical waveguide resonance (WR) platform based on a judicious design of a dielectric/metal stack and a fabrication process that delivers an extraordinarily low-loss optical waveguide over a noble-metal thin film. By using an atomic layer deposition process to grow a dielectric film (Al(2)O(3)) of exceptional optical quality and precise thickness over a metal layer (Ag), we have reached a deep and narrow WR that allowed us to experimentally measure a performance of the WR device that is 20 times superior to the conventional surface plasmon resonance sensor. To the best of our knowledge, these results represent the best performance of a WR device reported so far in the literature. In addition, we have created an experimental setup based on diffraction-limited optical components to launch and collect a broad angular spectrum that is able to resolve the sharp angular waveguide resonance at a fast pace. Such configuration has enabled us to reach nanosecond time scale resolution, and we provide here experimental evidence of the fast coupling of the optical signal from a submonolayer of a ruthenium complex adsorbed to the interrogation surface. The high sensitivity and nanosecond detection capability of the WR optical platform demonstrated here are expected to find useful applications for researchers interested in studies of surface-mediated molecular interactions and interfacial phenomena.

Abstract
A novel approach to give an excellent tunability and self-referencing capability was presented by applying a concept of waveguide coupled surface plasmon resonance mode to a fiber-optic sensor. The presence of dielectric waveguide sandwiched between two metal layers made it possible to precisely tune the resonance wavelength in a broad range from visible to infrared region and to generate multiple modes which may be selectively used for suitable applications. Our approach also verified the potential capability of self-referencing based on a remarkable difference in sensitivity between the plasmonic and waveguide modes excited by p- and s-polarized lights, respectively, without using an additional reference channel. Experimental measurement carried out on sucrose solutions with varying concentration demonstrated the feasibility of our approach.

Abstract
In this study, we report a simple, low-cost surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-sensing cartridge based on a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the on-site detection of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). For LAMP detection, a SPR based LAMP sensing system (SPRLAMP) was constructed, including a novel SPRLAMP sensing cartridge integrating a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) micro-reactor with a polycarbonate (PC)-based prism coated with a 50 nm Au film. First, we found that the change of refractive index of the bulk solution was approximately 0.0011 refractive index (RI) units after LAMP reaction. The PC-based prism's linearity and thermal responses were compared to those of a traditional glass prism to show that a PC-based prism can be used for SPR measurement. Finally, the HBV template mixed in the 10 μl LAMP solution could be detected by SPRLAMP system in 17 min even at the detection-limited concentration of 2 fg/ml. We also analyzed the correlation coefficients between the initial concentrations of HBV DNA templates and the system response (ΔRU) at varying amplification times to establish an optimal amplification time endpoint of 25 min (R(2)=0.98). In conclusion, the LAMP reaction could be detected with the SPRLAMP sensing cartridge based on direct sensing of the bulk refractive index.

Abstract
Plasmon-waveguide resonance (PWR) sensors are particularly useful for investigation of biomolecular interactions with or within lipid bilayer membranes. Many studies demonstrated their ability to provide unique qualitative information, but the evaluation of their sensitivity as compared to other surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors has not been broadly investigated. We report here a comprehensive sensitivity comparison of SPR and PWR biosensors for the p-polarized light component. The sensitivity of five different biosensor designs to changes in refractive index, thickness and mass are determined and discussed. Although numerical simulations show an increase of the electric field intensity by 30-35 % and the penetration depth by four times in PWR, the waveguide-based method is 0.5 to 8 fold less sensitive than conventional SPR in all considered analytical parameters. The experimental results also suggest that the increase in the penetration depth in PWR is made at the expense of the surface sensitivity. The physical and structural reasons for PWR sensor limitations are discussed and a general viewpoint for designing more efficient SPR sensors based on dielectric slab waveguides is provided.

Abstract
In this study, we report the development of a nanoparticle-enhanced biosensor by integrating both the nanoparticles and immunoassay sensing technologies into a phase interrogation surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system for detecting antigen at a concentration as low as the femtomolar range. Our work has demonstrated that the plasmonic field extension generated from the gold film to gold nanorod (GNR) has led to a drastic sensitivity enhancement. Antibody-functionalized sensing film, together with antibody-conjugated GNRs, was readily served as a plasmonic coupling partner that can be used as a powerful ultrasensitive sandwich immunoassay for cancer-related disease detection. Experimentally, it was found that the bioconjugated GNR labels enhance the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antigen signal with more than 40-fold increase compared to the traditional SPR biosensing technique. The underlying principle was analyzed by simulating the near-field coupling between the sensing film and the GNR. The results have shown that GNRs were readily served as promising amplification labels in SPR sensing technology.

Abstract
In this study, we present and demonstrate a new route to a great enhancement in resolution of surface plasmon resonance sensors. Basically, our approach combines a waveguide coupled plasmonic mode and a kind of Au/Ag bimetallic enhancement concept. Theoretical modeling was carried out by solving Fresnel equations for the multilayer stack of prism/Ag inner-metal layer/dielectric waveguide/Au outer-metal layer. The inner Ag layer couples incident light to a guided wave and makes more fields effectively concentrated on the outer Au surface. A substantial enhancement in resolution was experimentally verified for the model stack using a ZnS-SiO2 waveguide layer.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensing is one of the most advanced label free, real time detection technologies. Numerous research groups with divergent scientific backgrounds have investigated the application of SPR biosensors and studied the fundamental aspects of surface plasmon polaritons that led to new, related instrumentation. As a result, this field continues to be at the forefront of evolving sensing technology. This review emphasizes the new developments in the field of SPR-related instrumentation including optical platforms, chips design, nanoscale approach and new materials. The current tendencies in SPR-based biosensing are identified and the future direction of SPR biosensor technology is broadly discussed.

Abstract
We show that long-range surface plasmons (LRSPs) are supported in a physically asymmetric thin film structure, consisting of a low refractive index medium on a metal slab, supported by a high refractive index dielectric layer (membrane) over air, as a suspended waveguide. For design purposes, an analytic formulation is derived in 1D yielding a transcendental equation that ensures symmetry of the transverse fields of the LRSP within the metal slab by constraining its thicknesses and that of the membrane. Results from the formulation are in quantitative agreement with transfer matrix calculations for a candidate slab waveguide consisting of an H(2)O-Au-SiO(2)-air structure. Biosensor-relevant figures of merit are compared for the asymmetric and symmetric structures, and it is found that the asymmetric structure actually improves performance, despite higher losses. The finite difference method is also used to analyse metal stripes providing 2D confinement on the structure, and additional constraints for non-radiative LRSP guiding thereon are discussed. These results are promising for sensors that operate with an aqueous solution that would otherwise require a low refractive index-matched substrate for the LRSP.

Abstract
This paper describes a statistical approach that improves the detection accuracy in simulated experimental surface plasmon resonance (SPR) systems operated in a conventional angular readout scheme. Two SPR system have been investigated: a conventional one and a second one, containing absorbing metallic nanoparticles within the sensing layer. The modified Maxwell-Garnett model that optimally describes the experimental literature results was applied to modeling of the nanoparticle-inclusive sensor. Statistical hypothesis testing was then used to determine the limit of detection of the analyte and nanoparticles. Analyte concentrations as low as 1 pM, corresponding to the refractive index change of 4x10(-8) have been detected with optimized metal layers operated close to the nanoparticle absorption maximum. This is about one order of magnitude smaller than the values obtained in conventional SPR systems with nanoparticles and comparable to the phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance detection.

Abstract
Bimetallic silver/gold sensor chips are attractive since they combine the advantages of both silver and gold layers. Optical properties of the bimetallic sensor chips show significant aging effects. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) curves were produced on an SPR device and the time dependence of aging on SPR curves was studied. The results show that resonance angle and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of response curves increase with the aging time after film deposition. The performance of the sensor chips in terms of intrinsic sensitivity (IS) degrades with aging time. The underlying mechanism of the aging effect is explained as the growth of a silver oxide layer between gold and silver during the aging process.

Abstract
Intensity interrogation of surface plasmon resonance (IISPR) biosensors possesses the greatest sensitivity beyond other interrogations and is operated at a fixed incident angle to enable real-time analysis without time delay, so that it promises excellent performance in biological/chemical detection and SPR imaging systems. Here we provide a general model to describe its sensitivity based on Lorentz equation and unveil the relation between the sensitivity and the metal thickness. This model presents the dependency between sensitivity and metal thickness, and the optimal thickness of gold layers to maximize the sensitivity in our experiment is 53 nm that agrees well in both measurement and simulation. This general model can be further applied in other intensity-interrogation SPR configurations as a design rule for sensing and imaging applications.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) is a useful tool for the study of surface biomolecular interactions allowing for label-free detection and elegant instrumentation. SPRI imaging system is described in this review with an emphasis on recent applications with examples of different biological interactions and high throughput analysis. Signal amplification in SPRI using nanoparticle and waveguide-based optical coupling is introduced. Finally the detection sensitivity of the SPRI system is examined in terms of other competitive methods.

Innovative antimicrobial susceptibility testing method using surface plasmon resonance. Biosens Bioelectron 2008; 24:1905-10. [PMID: 19027285 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2008.09.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2008] [Revised: 08/31/2008] [Accepted: 09/23/2008] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Utilizing the ultra sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor to examine drug resistance of bacteria was studied in this research. Susceptible and resistant strains of Escherichia coli JM109 to ampicillin and those of Staphylococcus epidermidis to tetracycline, served as a blind test, were examined. The bacteria adhered on the Au thin film was treated by the injection of antibiotic flow. The optical property change of the bacteria responded to antibiotics were recorded through SPR mechanism. As a result, the susceptible strain of E. coli generally revealed more than three times of SPR angle shift when compared to the resistant one; the susceptible strain of S. epidermidis revealed irregular SPR angle shift while the resistant strain kept the SPR angle almost unchanged. The new SPR method took less than 2h of antibiotic treatment time to complete the antimicrobial susceptibility test. Different from conventional applications of SPR, specific antibodies is not required in this method. As compared to the conventional assays, Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion and variations of broth microdilution usually take 1 day to weeks to issue the report. Using this SPR assay can greatly reduce the waiting period for laboratory tests, and can therefore benefit patients who need proper antibiotic treatments to control bacterial infections. The sensitivity of the SPR biosensor built for the application is around 1.4 x 10(-4) on the refractive index.

Abstract
The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors is increasingly popular in fundamental biological studies, health science research, drug discovery, clinical diagnosis, and environmental and agricultural monitoring. SPR allows for the qualitative and quantitative measurements of biomolecular interactions in real-time without requiring a labeling procedure. Today, the development of SPR is geared toward the design of compact, low-cost, and sensitive biosensors. Rapid advances in micro-fabrication technology have made available integratable opto-electronic components suitable for SPR. This review paper focuses on the progress made over the past 4 years toward this integration. Readers will find the descriptions of novel SPR optical approaches and materials. Nano-technology is also increasingly used in the design of biologically optimized and optically enhanced surfaces for SPR. Much of this work is leading to the integration of sensitive SPR to lab-on-a-chip platforms.

Abstract
This study develops a coupled waveguide-surface plasmon resonance (CWSPR) biosensor with a subwavelength grating structure for the real-time analysis of biomolecular interactions. In the proposed optical metrology system, normally incident white light is coupled into the waveguide layer through the subwavelength grating structure thereby enhancing the wave vector which excites the surface plasmons on the metal sensing surface. The proposed CWSPR biosensor not only retains the same sensing sensitivity as that of a conventional surface plasmon resonance device, but also yields a sharper dip in the reflectivity spectrum and therefore provides an improved measurement precision. Moreover, the metrology setup overcomes the limitations of the conventional Kretschmann attenuated total reflection approach and is less sensitive to slight variations in the angle of the incident light. The experimental results confirm that the current CWSPR biosensor provides a straightforward yet powerful technique for real-time biomolecular interaction analysis.

Abstract
Once viewed solely as a tool for low throughput and kinetic analysis of biomolecular interactions, optical biosensors are gaining widespread uses in drug discovery because of recent advances in instrumentation and experimental design. These advances have expanded the capabilities of optical biosensors to meet the needs at many points in the drug discovery process. Concurrent shifts in drug discovery paradigms have seen the growing use of whole cell systems for drug screens, thus creating both a need in drug discovery and a solution in optical biosensors. This article reviews important advances in optical biosensor instrumentation, and highlights the potential of optical biosensors for drug discovery with an emphasis on whole cell sensing in both high throughput and high content fashions.
