Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Optical Sensing

Background:

  • Conventional Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs) lack sensitivity for certain biosensing applications.
  • Enhancing optical signal transduction and surface area is crucial for improving biosensor performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel polymer nanostructured FPI biosensor.
  • To leverage localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and increased surface area for enhanced biosensing.
  • To demonstrate real-time monitoring of protein binding events.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an FPI with an internal layer of gold-coated nanopores.
  • Utilizing LSPR effects from the gold nanostructures for signal amplification.
  • Real-time monitoring of protein A immobilization and subsequent immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding.

Main Results:

  • The nanostructured FPI demonstrated significantly enhanced optical transducing signals compared to conventional FPIs.
  • The sensing surface area was increased by at least two orders of magnitude.
  • The biosensor achieved a limit-of-detection below 10 pg/mL for IgG-protein A interactions.

Conclusions:

  • The polymer nanostructured FPI biosensor offers a highly sensitive platform for real-time biomolecular detection.
  • The integration of nanostructures and LSPR provides a substantial improvement in biosensing capabilities.
  • This technology holds promise for sensitive diagnostics and research applications.
