  • Analyzed the sensor's response to varying concentrations of anti-rabbit IgG.
  • Monitored the binding kinetics of the secondary antibody.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved a >40-fold reduction in the limit of detection for anti-rabbit IgG.
    • Demonstrated a linear sensor response for anti-rabbit IgG concentrations between 25-500 ng/ml.
    • Observed secondary antibody binding as early as 1 minute after introduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Secondary labeling, specifically with gold-conjugated antibodies, significantly enhances diffraction-based sensing sensitivity.
    • The enhanced method allows for rapid and quantitative detection of target analytes.
    • This approach holds promise for improved diagnostic applications requiring high sensitivity and speed.
