Investigation of Performance Parameters of Spherical Gold Nanoparticles in Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensing.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present numerical and experimental results on Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) refractive index (RI) sensitivity, Figure of Merit (FoM), and penetration depth (d_p) dependence on spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) size, and the effects of AuNP dimer interparticle distance (d_s) studied numerically. These parameters were calculated and observed for d = 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 nm diameter spherical AuNPs. Our investigation shows d = 60 nm AuNPs give the best FoM. The AuNP dimer interparticle distance can significantly influence the RI sensitivity. Therefore, the effect of distances between pairs of d = 20 nm and 60 nm AuNPs is shown. We discuss the importance of penetration depth information for AuNPs functionalized with aptamers for biosensing in the context of aptamer size.

A localized surface plasmon resonance imaging instrument for multiplexed biosensing.

Project description:Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy has been widely used for label-free, highly sensitive measurements of interactions at a surface. LSPR imaging (LSPRi) has the full advantages of LSPR but enables high-throughput, multiplexed measurements by simultaneously probing multiple individually addressable sensors on a single sample surface. Each spatially distinct sensor can be tailored to provide data regarding different surface functionalities or reaction environments. Previously, LSPRi has focused on single-particle sensing where the size scale is very small. Here, we create defined macroscale arrays of nanoparticles that are compatible with common patterning methods such as dip-pen nanolithography and multichannel microfluidic delivery devices. With this new LSPR sensing format, we report the first demonstration of multiplexed LSPR imaging and show that the increased throughput of our instrument enables the collection of a complete Langmuir binding curve on a single sensor surface. In addition, the multiplexed LSPR sensor is highly selective, as demonstrated by the hybridization of single-stranded DNA to complementary sequences immobilized on the sensor surface. The LSPR arrays described in this work exhibit uniform sensitivity and tailorable optical properties, making them an ideal platform for high-throughput, label-free analysis of a variety of molecular binding interactions.

Localized surface plasmon resonance-based abscisic acid biosensor using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in abiotic stress response and physiological signal transduction resisting to the adverse environment. Therefore, it is very essential for the quantitative detection of abscisic acid (ABA) due to its indispensable role in plant physiological activities. Herein, a new detection method based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed without using expensive instrument and antibody. In the presence of ABA, ABA specifically bind with their aptamers to form the ABA-aptamer complexes with G-quadruplex-like structure and lose the ability to stabilize AuNPs against NaCl-induced aggregation. Meanwhile, the changes of the LSPR spectra of AuNP solution occur and therefore the detection of ABA achieved. Under optimized conditions, this method showed a good linear range covering from 5×10-7 M to 5×10-5 M with a detection limit of 0.33 μM. In practice, the usage of this novel method has been demonstrated by its application to detect ABA from fresh leaves of rice with the relative error of 6.59%-7.93% compared with ELISA bioassay. The experimental results confirmed that this LSPR-based biosensor is simple, selective and sensitive for the detection of ABA. The proposed LSPR method could offer a new analytical platform for the detection of other plant hormones by changing the corresponding aptamer.

Adhesion layer-free attachment of gold on silicon wafer and its application in localized surface plasmon resonance-based biosensing.

Project description:The use of a metallic adhesion layer between plasmonic-active nanostructures and a solid supported is known to dampen the plasmonic response. To overcome this problem, organic adhesion layers have been introduced, which in turn can undermine the stability of the film. Moreover, both types of layers limit the regeneration of the nanostructures for multiple uses. Here we report a quick and simple approach to prepare intermediate adhesion layer-free binding of nanostructured films of gold on silicon wafers. The approach involves scratching and etching of the silicon wafer before sputter coating with a thin layer of Au. The plasmonic-active nanostructures were then prepared on this thin Au film using electrochemical deposition. As-prepared plasmonic-active nanostructured thin films of gold (PANTF-Au) are easy to handle, physically robust, and can be regenerated. The bulk refractive index sensitivity of PANTF-Au is 150 nm/RIU with the figure of merit 1.4, and with a plasmonic field-decay length of 27 nm. We further used these thin films to study interactions between lectin and glycoprotein inside a flow cell as well as on a microplate made of PANTF-Au. The PANTF-Au can be easily integrated with electrochemical devices and microfluidics, which can help to pave the way toward the development of ideal optical-electrochemical point-of-care biosensors.

Whole-cell biosensing by siderophore-based molecular recognition and localized surface plasmon resonance.

Project description:A siderophore-based active bacterial pull-down strategy was integrated in a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing platform and subsequently tested by detecting whole-cell Acinetobacter baumannii. The LSPR-based whole-cell sensing approach was previously demonstrated with aptamer-based molecular recognition motifs, and here it is extended to the powerful siderophore system, which exploits the natural bacterial need to sequester Fe(III). Specifically, a biscatecholate-monohydroxamate mixed ligand siderophore linked to a biotin via three polyethylene glycol repeating units was synthesized and immobilized on Au trigonal nanoprisms of an LSPR sensor. The resulting surface-confined biotinylated siderophore subsequently chelated Fe(III), forming a siderophore-Fe(III) complex which was shown to be competent to recognize A. baumannii. Target bacteria were captured and then detected by measuring wavelength shifts in the LSPR extinction spectrum. This siderophore pull-down LSPR biosensor approach is rapid (?3 h detection) and sensitive - with a limit of detection (LOD) of 80 bacterial cells and a linear wavelength shift over the range 4 × 102 to 4 × 106 cfu mL-1. As intended by design, the siderophore-based biosensor was selective for A. baumannii over Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus, and was stable in ambient conditions for up to 2 weeks.

Temperature-Sensitive Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance of α-NiS Nanoparticles.

Project description:The presented work shows a synthesis route to obtain nanoparticles of the hexagonal α-NiS phase and core-shell particles where the same material is grown onto previously prepared Au seeds. In the bulk, this nickel sulfide phase is known to exhibit a metal-insulator type phase transition (MIT) at 265 K which drastically alters its electrical conductivity. Since the produced nanoparticles show a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum, the development of their optical properties depending on the temperature is investigated. This is the first time an LSPR of colloidal nanoparticles is monitored regarding such a transition. The results of UV-vis absorbance measurements show that the LSPR of the particles can be strongly and reversibly tuned by varying the temperature. It can be switched off by cooling the nanoparticles and switched on again by reheating them above the transition temperature. Additional to the phase transition, the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of α-NiS and Au-NiS nanoparticles suggests the presence of different amounts of uncompensated magnetic moments in these compounds that possibly affect the optical properties and may cause the observed quantitative differences in the LSPR response of these materials.

Multispectral Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (msLSPR) Reveals and Overcomes Spectral and Sensing Heterogeneities of Single Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Metal nanoparticles can be sensitive molecular sensors due to enhanced absorption and scattering of light near a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Variations in both intrinsic properties such as the geometry and extrinsic properties such as the environment can cause heterogeneity in nanoparticle LSPR and impact the overall sensing responses. To date, however, few studies have examined LSPR and sensing heterogeneities, due to technical challenges in obtaining the full LSPR spectra of individual nanoparticles in dynamic assays. Here, we report multispectral LSPR (msLSPR), a wide-field imaging technique for real-time spectral monitoring of light scattering from individual nanoparticles across the whole field of view (FOV) at ∼0.5 nm spectral and ∼100 ms temporal resolutions. Using msLSPR, we studied the spectral and sensing properties of gold nanoparticles commonly used in LSPR assays, including spheres, rods, and bipyramids. Complemented with electron microscopy imaging, msLSPR analysis revealed that all classes of gold nanoparticles exhibited variations in LSPR peak wavelengths that largely paralleled variations in morphology. Compared with the rods and spheres, gold nanobipyramids exhibited both more uniform and stronger sensing responses as long as the bipyramids are structurally intact. Simulations incorporating the experimental LSPR properties demonstrate the negative impact of spectral heterogeneity on the overall performance of conventional, intensity-based LSPR assays and the ability of msLSPR in overcoming both particle heterogeneity and measurement noise. These results highlight the importance of spectral heterogeneity in LSPR-based sensors and the potential advantage of performing LSPR assays in the spectral domain.

Using the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance of Gold Nanoparticles to Monitor Lipid Membrane Assembly and Protein Binding.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles provide a template for preparing supported lipid layers with well-defined curvature. Here, we utilize the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles as a sensor for monitoring the preparation of lipid layers on nanoparticles. The LSPR is very sensitive to the immediate surroundings of the nanoparticle surface and it is used to monitor the coating of lipids and subsequent conversion of a supported bilayer to a hybrid membrane with an outer lipid leaflet and an inner leaflet containing hydrophobic alkanethiol. We demonstrate that both decanethiol and propanethiol are able to form hybrid membranes and that the membrane created over the shorter thiol can be stripped from the gold along with the lipid leaflet using β-mercaptoethanol. The sensitivity of the nanoparticle LSPR to the refractive index (RI) of its surroundings is greater when the shorter thiol is used (37.8 ± 1.5 nm per RI unit) than when the longer thiol is used (27.5 ± 0.5 nm per RI unit). Finally, C-reactive protein binding to the membrane is measured using this sensor allowing observation of both protein-membrane and nanoparticle-nanoparticle interactions without chemical labeling of protein or lipids.

Surface Plasmon Resonance-Based Immunosensor for Igm Detection with Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:In this work, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based immunosensor was prepared by the immobilization of the amine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (N-AuNPs) on the sensing surface to sense immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in the aqueous solution and artificial plasma. The characterization studies of SPR based immunosensor for IgM detection were performed with scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle measurements, and ellipsometry. Kinetic studies for the IgM immunosensor were carried out in the range of 1.0 to 200 ng/mL IgM concentrations in an aqueous solution. The total IgM analysis time including adsorption, desorption, and regeneration cycles was nearly 10 min for the prepared immunosensor. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found as 0.08 and 0.26 ng/mL, respectively. The reusability of the proposed immunosensor was tested with 6 consecutive adsorption-desorption, and regeneration cycles. Also, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was utilized in the validation of the immunosensor.

Layered material platform for surface plasmon resonance biosensing.

Project description:Plasmonic biosensing has emerged as the most sensitive label-free technique to detect various molecular species in solutions and has already proved crucial in drug discovery, food safety and studies of bio-reactions. This technique relies on surface plasmon resonances in ~50 nm metallic films and the possibility to functionalize the surface of the metal in order to achieve selectivity. At the same time, most metals corrode in bio-solutions, which reduces the quality factor and darkness of plasmonic resonances and thus the sensitivity. Furthermore, functionalization itself might have a detrimental effect on the quality of the surface, also reducing sensitivity. Here we demonstrate that the use of graphene and other layered materials for passivation and functionalization broadens the range of metals which can be used for plasmonic biosensing and increases the sensitivity by 3-4 orders of magnitude, as it guarantees stability of a metal in liquid and preserves the plasmonic resonances under biofunctionalization. We use this approach to detect low molecular weight HT-2 toxins (crucial for food safety), achieving phase sensitivity~0.5 fg/mL, three orders of magnitude higher than previously reported. This proves that layered materials provide a new platform for surface plasmon resonance biosensing, paving the way for compact biosensors for point of care testing.

Tuning Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Wavelengths of Silver Nanoparticles by Mechanical Deformation.

Project description:We describe a simple technique to alter the shape of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by rolling a glass tube over them to mechanically compress them. The resulting shape change in turn induces a red-shift in the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) scattering spectrum and exposes new surface area. The flattened particles were characterized by optical and electron microscopy, single nanoparticle scattering spectroscopy, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). AFM and SEM images show that the AgNPs deform into discs; increasing the applied load from 0 to 100 N increases the AgNP diameter and decreases the height. This deformation caused a dramatic red shift in the nanoparticle scattering spectrum and also generated new surface area to which thiolated molecules could attach as evident from SERS measurements. The simple technique employed here requires no lithographic templates and has potential for rapid, reproducible, inexpensive and scalable tuning of nanoparticle shape, surface area, and resonance while preserving particle volume.
