We developed a novel immunoassay for detecting the cardiac marker myoglobin using surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE). This technique enhances fluorescence detection and reduces background noise for accurate myoglobin measurement.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Myoglobin is a crucial cardiac marker for diagnosing myocardial infarction.
  • Existing immunoassays can suffer from background noise and limited sensitivity.
  • Surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) offers enhanced optical properties for biosensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a sensitive and specific immunoassay for myoglobin detection.
  • To leverage SPCE for enhanced fluorescence signal and background suppression.
  • To demonstrate the utility of SPCE in a clinically relevant cardiac marker assay.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a silver mirror surface on a glass substrate.
  • Immobilization of antibodies for myoglobin capture.
