Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is a label-free optical sensing technique widely used for studying biomolecular interactions.
  • Existing SPR platforms can be limited by cost, complexity, or throughput.
  • Development of novel, cost-effective, and high-throughput SPR sensor platforms is crucial for advancing biological and chemical analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel grating-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensor array for high-throughput, label-free detection of biomolecular interactions.
  • To demonstrate the platform's capability in distinguishing varying degrees of molecular binding.
  • To validate the platform's performance using a model protein-surface interaction study.

Main Methods:

  • Monitoring local plasmon resonance changes in a fixed-angle imaging configuration upon exposure to bovine serum albumin (BSA).
  • Confirmation of molecular binding events using ellipsometry.

Main Results:

  • The grating-based SPR sensor array successfully detected biomolecular interactions in a label-free manner.
  • Plasmon images clearly differentiated the extent of protein attachment to sensor elements with varying functional groups (carboxylic acid, amine, hydroxyl).
  • Ellipsometry confirmed the molecular binding events observed via SPR imaging, validating the sensor's performance.

Conclusions:

  • The developed grating-based SPR imaging platform offers a simple, robust, and sensitive method for high-throughput detection of biomolecular interactions.
  • This cost-effective approach, utilizing a repurposed compact disk, provides a versatile tool for biochemical analysis.
  • The platform's ability to distinguish binding events across different functionalized surfaces highlights its potential for detailed biomolecular interaction studies.
