Plasmonic Layer as a Localized Temperature Control Element for Surface Plasmonic Resonance-Based Sensors.

ABSTRACT: Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing is a well-established high-sensitivity, label-free and real-time detection technique for biomolecular interaction study. Its primary working principle consists of the measurement of the optical refractive index of the medium that is in close vicinity of the sensor surface. Bio-functionalization techniques allow biomolecular events to be located in such a way. Since optical refractive indices of any medium varies with the temperature, the place where the measurement takes place shall be within a temperature-controlled environment in order to ensure any temperature fluctuation is interpreted as a biomolecular event. Since the SPR measurement probes the sensed medium within the penetration depth of the plasmonic wave, which is less or in the order of 1 µm, we propose to use the metallic film constituting the detection surface as a localized heater aiming at controlling finely and quickly the temperature of the sensed medium. The Joule heating principle is then used and the modeling of the heater is reported as well as its validation by thermal IR imaging. Using water as a demonstration medium, SPR measurement results at different temperatures are successfully compared to the theoretical optical refractive index of water versus temperature.

Project description:A long-term reusable sensor that provides the opportunity to easily regenerate the active surface and minimize the occurrence of undesired absorption events is an appealing solution that helps to cut down the costs and improve the device performances. Impressive advances have been made in the past years concerning the development of novel cutting-edge sensors, but the reusability can currently represent a challenge. Direct shielding of the sensor surface is not always applicable, because it can impact the device performance. This study reports an antiadhesive layer (AAL) made of 90 mg/mL DNA sodium salt from salmon testes (ssstDNA) for passivating gold plasmonic sensor surfaces. Our gold two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured plasmonic metasurfaces modified with AAL were used for DNA quantification. AAL is thin enough that the plasmonic sensor remains sensitive to subsequent deposition of DNA, which serves as an analyte. AAL protects the gold surface from unwanted nonspecific adsorption by enabling wash-off of the deposited analyte after analysis and thus recovery of the LSPR peak position (rLSPR). The calibration curve obtained on a single nanostructure (Achiral Octupolar, 100 nm pitch) gave an LOD = 105 ng/mL and an extraordinary dynamic range, performances comparable or superior to those of commercial UV-vis spectrometers for acid nucleic dosage. Two different analytes were tested: ssstDNA (∼2000 bp) in deionized water and double-strand DNA (dsDNA) of 546-1614 bp in 100 mM Tris buffer and 10 mM MgCl2. The two nanostructures (Achiral Octupolar 25 and 100) were found to have the same sensitivity to DNA in deionized water but different sensitivity to DNA in a salt/buffer solution, opening a potential for solute discrimination. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of AAL made of several kilobase-pairs-long dsDNA to produce a reusable plasmonic sensor. The working principle and limitations are drawn based on the LSPR and SERS study.
