This study introduces a novel method for creating surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging microarrays using polymer micropatterns. This technique enables high-resolution imaging of biomolecular interactions, including cancer markers like prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surface Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) imaging is a label-free technique for detecting biomolecular interactions.
  • Current SPR imaging methods face challenges in achieving high spatial resolution and multiplexing capabilities.
  • Developing microarrays with precise patterning is crucial for sensitive and specific biological detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple and effective method for fabricating SPR imaging microarrays.
  • To enhance the spatial resolution and specificity of SPR imaging through polymer micropatterning.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the fabricated microarrays for biological adsorption and cancer marker detection.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of SPR imaging microarrays using polymer micropatterns and a micrometer-scale polymeric optical screen (microPOS).

  • Two schemes for microPOS creation: micropatterning before or after metal layer deposition.
  • Validation using biotin-streptavidin binding and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful fabrication of SPR imaging microarrays with high imaging resolution (~100 microm/pattern) and small separation (10 microm).
    • Demonstrated effective passivation of regions using microPOS, either by complete SPR signal removal or saturation.
    • Verified the system's validity with model biomolecular binding and detection of PSA as a cancer marker.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed polymer micropatterning method offers a simple approach to creating high-resolution SPR imaging microarrays.
    • The microPOS technique effectively controls SPR signals, enabling precise imaging of biological events.
    • This microarray system shows significant potential for sensitive detection of biomarkers, including cancer markers like PSA.
