Abstract
A multi-channel prismatic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensor was developed for quantitative and real-time detection of multiple COVID-19 characteristic miRNAs. The well-dispersed and dense gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) arrays for LSPR biosensing were fabricated through a nano-thickness diblock copolymer template (BCPT). Both theoretical and experimental analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of particle size, interparticle spacing, and surface coverage on LSPR sensing spectrum and intensity sensitivity of varied AuNPs sizes. A competitive assay strategy was proposed and used for non-amplification miRNA detection with a low limit detection of 3.41 nM, while a four-channel prismatic LSPR system enables parallel detection of multiple miRNAs. Furthermore, this sensing strategy can effectively and specifically identify target miRNA, distinguish mismatched miRNA and interfering miRNA, and exhibit low non-specific adsorption. This BCPT-based LSPR biosensor demonstrates the practicality and potential of a multi-channel, adaptable, and integrated prismatic sensor in medical testing and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Chirality plays a significant part in many vital processes, and to further our level of understanding, there is a steadily growing interest in enhancing the yield of enantioselective processes. Here, a multilayer with etched grooves is activated in a Kretschmann geometry and consists of alternating platinum Pt, silica SiO2, and silicon Si, as well as a silver Ag layer. Due to the production process, the groove surface exhibits a micrometric roughness, characterized by a typical vibrational mode at ω = 96 MHz. The mode is attributed to a localized acoustic vibration and has been detected as a transmitted signal. The outcomes of the inquiry include plasmonic amplification of the transmitted signal and its wavevector-less nature; in addition, it is shown that the signal is depolarized in reference to the incident beam because of the rough surface. When the Kretschmann scheme is combined with the depolarization brought on by the roughness, a built-in asymmetry results in a higher optical flux of spectrum photons in the depolarized plane than the co-polarized plane, resulting in distinct, enantioselective, and solely polarization-dependent spectral contrast. In conclusion, enantioselectivity is demonstrated for the D,L-penicillamine.

Combining multilayered wrinkled polymer SERS substrates and spectral data processing for low concentration analyte detection. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:5719-5732.

Abstract
A series of thermally shrinkable polymer surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates were prepared with bimetallic Au and Ag (oxidized or not) films and with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) located at different places in the layered structure to evaluate the synergistic effect of different known SERS amplification methods to enhance the Raman signal for low concentration dopamine detection. A bimetallic Au and Ag layered structure improved the Raman signal by 5 and 2 times compared to the single-layered Au and Ag films. Oxidizing the Ag layer prior to deposition of Au further improved the signal by a factor of 2, while adding AuNP on wrinkled films increased another 10 times the intensity of the Raman signal. It was found that the enhancement was another 10 times stronger when using AuNPs in combination with other means of enhancement such as with a silver underlayer or surface wrinkling. Wrinkling alone only gave a few-fold increase compared to a flat film, but the combination of wrinkling with AuNPs and a silver underlayer improved the SERS intensity by more than 3 orders of magnitude, showing the synergistic effect of these enhancement methods. The optimized sensors were then tested in dynamic SERS with low concentration dopamine solutions, where the signal showed characteristics of a digital SERS response. Raman spectra preprocessing and sorting software was developed to triage the SERS-active spectra from the null spectra, to count the detection events such as the ones observed in single molecule experiments.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are among the most common and powerful label-free refractive index-based biosensing techniques available nowadays. Focusing on LSPR sensors, their performance is highly dependent on the size, shape, and nature of the nanomaterial employed. Indeed, the tailoring of those parameters allows the development of LSPR sensors with a tunable wavelength range between the ultra-violet (UV) and near infra-red (NIR). Furthermore, dealing with LSPR along optical fiber technology, with their low attenuation coefficients at NIR, allow for the possibility to create ultra-sensitive and long-range sensing networks to be deployed in a variety of both biological and chemical sensors. This work provides a detailed review of the key science underpinning such systems as well as recent progress in the development of several LSPR-based biosensors in the NIR wavelengths, including an overview of the LSPR phenomena along recent developments in the field of nanomaterials and nanostructure development towards NIR sensing. The review ends with a consideration of key advances in terms of nanostructure characteristics for LSPR sensing and prospects for future research and advances in this field.

Abstract
To overcome low surface coverage and aggregation of particles, which usually restricts the sensitivity and resolution of conventional localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) fiber-optic sensors, we propose a simple self-assembled templating technique that uses a nanometer thickness block copolymer (BCP) layer of poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) to form a 33 nm gold nanoparticle (AuNP) monolayer with high uniformity and density for LSPR sensing. The LSPR resonance wavelength for this PS-b-P4VP templated methodology is 592 nm and its refractive index sensitivity is up to 386.36 nm/RIU, both of which are significantly improved compared to those of conventional LSPR techniques. Calibrated by a layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte deposition procedure, the decay length of this LSPR sensor is calculated to be 78 nm, which is lower than other traditional self-assembled LSPR sensors. Furthermore, hybridization between target ssDNA, which is linked with capture ssDNA on the LSPR biosensor and DNA–AuNP conjugates, leads to a low detection limit of 67 pM. These enhanced performances are significant and valuable for high-sensitivity and cost-effective LSPR biosensing applications.

Abstract
Biomolecular detection at a low concentration is usually the most important criterion for biological measurement and early stage disease diagnosis. In this paper, a highly sensitive nanoplasmonic biosensing approach is demonstrated by achieving near-infrared plasmonic excitation on a continuous gold-coated nanotriangular array. Near-infrared incident light at a small incident angle excites surface plasmon resonance with much higher spectral sensitivity compared with traditional configuration, due to its greater interactive volume and the stronger electric field intensity. By introducing sharp nanotriangular metallic tips, intense localization of plasmonic near-fields is realized to enhance the molecular perception ability on sensing surface. This approach with an enhanced sensitivity (42103.8 nm per RIU) and a high figure of merit (367.812) achieves a direct assay of ssDNA at nanomolar level, which is a further step in label-free ultrasensitive sensing technique. Considerable improvement is recorded in the detection limit of ssDNA as 1.2 × 10-18 m based on the coupling effect between nanotriangles and gold nanoparticles. This work combines high bulk- and surface-sensitivities, providing a simple way toward label-free ultralow-concentration biomolecular detection.
