This paper reports a developed DNA hybridization detection method using gold-streptavidin conjugates as a reporter, the silver enhancement reaction to magnify the detection signal, and a flatbed scanner to detect the hybridization signal. There was a significant difference in grayscale between the experimental samples and the negative control after 18 min. The detection limit for a DNA sample is 8...
Retinal-modified SAM-coated nanoslit array thin gold film was used for ultra-sensitive (picomolar) detection of a ligand protein (β-Lactoglobulin) with a transmission SPR mode. The transmission spectra of nanoslit arrays with varying periods were evaluated for nanostructure optimization with respect to primary peak position, shape and sensitivity. Sensitivity of this method, as measured in water,...
A 10 nm nanogold particle was used to label monoclone CEA antibody to prepare an immunonanogold resonance scattering probe (AuCEAAb) for detection of CEA. In the pH 6.8 Na2HPO4-NaH2PO4 buffer solution and in the presence of PEG-6000, the immunoreaction between CEA and AuCEAAb took place to form the immunonanogold complex that can be removed by centrifugation technique. The supernatant containing AuCEAAb...
The paper aims to develop a rapid, simple and single copy gold immunochromatographic strip assay method for the quantitative determination of trace concentrations in serum or urine. The image of gold immunochromatographic strip is taken by CCD, and after a proper process, the reflective integral optical density is extracted as the feature based on Lambert-beer law. In order to improve the measure...
We integrate periodic nanohole arrays in a thin gold film with lipid membranes in a microfluidic channel. Surface plasmon-enhanced light transmission through the periodic nanohole arrays enables real-time label-free sensing of molecular binding on the lipid membrane surface. This membrane biosensor can potentially act as a natural platform for studying binding kinetics of proteins with their binding...
This study has developed sensitive gold nanoslit biosensing and imaging with surface plasmon (SP) effect for real-time analysis of biomolecular interactions. The main advantages of the proposed system include: 1) a minimum disturbance from buffer solution; 2) requires only a compact detection system; and 3) provides a practical kinetic study of biomolecular interactions.
A novel optical biosensor with gold surface bound silver nanoparticles has been constructed for detection of bio-molecules like antigen, antibody protein and DNA plasmid, which exhibited distinct optical properties of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The silver colloidal nanoparticles were prepared by using sodium borohydride reduction of silver nitrate and characterized by using UV-vis...
An unique, sensitive, and highly specific immunoassay system using gold nanoparticles and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is described. To demonstrate the analytical capabilities of the new technique, Raman reporter (DTNB) that is coimmobilized with biospecific anti-protein A on gold nanoparticles (AuNP). Anti-protein A-AuNP-DTNB, which combing both electromagnetic field and chemical enhancement,...
This paper presents an attempt to use two substrate types silicon and glass for microarray technique, in order to find the best chemistry surface for immobilization of proteins in microarray technology. Different chemical substrate were studied (glass slides and silicon slides coated with gold and poly-L-lysine) printed with BSA and marked with CY3. The slides were printed and after that washed with...
Our lab has used an optical coherence microscope (OCM) to assess both the structure of tissue-engineered corneal constructs and their transparency. Currently, we are not able to resolve cells versus collagen matrix material in the images produced. We would like to distinguish cells in order to determine if they are viable while growing in culture and also if they are significantly contributing to...
