Surface Plasmon Resonance or Biocompatibility-Key Properties for Determining the Applicability of Noble Metal Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Metal and in particular noble metal nanoparticles represent a very special class of materials which can be applied as prepared or as composite materials. In most of the cases, two main properties are exploited in a vast number of publications: biocompatibility and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For instance, these two important properties are exploitable in plasmonic diagnostics, bioactive glasses/glass ceramics and catalysis. The most frequently applied noble metal nanoparticle that is universally applicable in all the previously mentioned research areas is gold, although in the case of bioactive glasses/glass ceramics, silver and copper nanoparticles are more frequently applied. The composite partners/supports/matrix/scaffolds for these nanoparticles can vary depending on the chosen application (biopolymers, semiconductor-based composites: TiO₂, WO₃, Bi₂WO₆, biomaterials: SiO₂ or P₂O₅-based glasses and glass ceramics, polymers: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Gelatin, polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic acid (PLA), etc.). The scientific works on these materials' applicability and the development of new approaches will be targeted in the present review, focusing in several cases on the functioning mechanism and on the role of the noble metal.

Metal-enhanced fluorescence of dyes with quadrupole surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles.

Project description:Silver colloidal films (SCFs) composed of homogeneous 60-220 nm silver nanoparticles were synthesized for optimal fluorescence enhancement of chromophores with the dipole and quadrupole surface plasmons. The fluorescence enhancements with the SCFs of three chromophores, 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran, 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitrobiphenyl, and coumarin 343 whose emission spectra are centered distinctively in the 470-560 nm wavelength range were compared. Fluorescence enhancements and lifetime changes were investigated via time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The spectral overlap between the chromophore's emission and the dipole or quadrupole surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands determined the fluorescence enhancements with the SCFs. The dipole and quadrupole SPR bands both appeared to provide effective fluorescence enhancements of chromophores. This knowledge allows researchers to develop sensitive fluorescence sensors by combining nanoparticles with optimal dipole or quadrupole SPR bands in order to achieve fluorescence enhancement of a specific chromophore. The emission dynamics measurements with the SCFs were combined with the finite-difference time-domain simulation results for the local electric fields around the silver nanoparticles to enable discussion of metal-enhanced fluorescence mechanisms, including excitation and emission enhancements.

Metal Nanoparticles/Porous Silicon Microcavity Enhanced Surface Plasmon Resonance Fluorescence for the Detection of DNA.

Project description:A porous silicon microcavity (PSiMC) with resonant peak wavelength of 635 nm was fabricated by electrochemical etching. Metal nanoparticles (NPs)/PSiMC enhanced fluorescence substrates were prepared by the electrostatic adherence of Au NPs that were distributed in PSiMC. The Au NPs/PSiMC device was used to characterize the target DNA immobilization and hybridization with its complementary DNA sequences marked with Rhodamine red (RRA). Fluorescence enhancement was observed on the Au NPs/PSiMC device substrate; and the minimum detection concentration of DNA ran up to 10 pM. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the MC substrate; which is so well-positioned to improve fluorescence enhancement rather the fluorescence enhancement of the high reflection band of the Bragg reflector; would welcome such a highly sensitive in biosensor.

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.

Surface plasmon resonance extension through two-block metal-conducting polymer nanorods.

Project description:Research on surface plasmon resonance coupling of metallic nanostructures is an important area in the field of plasmonics because distinctive collective optical properties can be realized that are different from the individual constituents. Here we report the localized surface plasmon resonance of hybrid metal-organic nanorods. Colloidal-dispersed Au-PPy nanorods were synthesized as a representative material using a modified electrochemical method, and the collective oscillation properties were systematically investigated by comparing these materials with pure Au nanorods. We observed the extended surface plasmon resonance of a hybrid system. The presence of doped-PPy segments on Au segments induced an enhanced coherent electric field due to the partial contribution of π-electrons on the PPy segment, which led to a red-shifted plasmon feature. Additionally, we demonstrated that surface plasmon resonance extension can be tuned by dopant anions, which demonstrates a way of tuning a dopant-induced plasmonic system.

Determining the affinities of high-affinity antibodies using KinExA and surface plasmon resonance.

Project description:Accurate and efficient affinity measurement techniques are essential for the biophysical characterization of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, one of the fastest growing drug classes. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used for determining antibody affinity, but does not perform well with extremely high affinity (low picomolar to femtomolar range) molecules. In this study, we compare the SPR-based Carterra LSA and the kinetic exclusion assay (KinExA) for measuring the affinities of 48 antibodies generated against the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain. These data reveal that high-affinity antibodies can be generated straight from selections using high-quality in vitro library platforms with 54% correspondence between affinities measured using LSA and KinExA. Generally, where there was a 2-fold or greater difference between LSA and KinExA, KinExA reported that affinities were tighter. We highlight the differences between LSA and KinExA, identifying the benefits and pitfalls of each in terms of dynamic range and throughput. Furthermore, we demonstrate for the first time that single-point screening with KinExA can significantly improve throughput while maintaining a strong correlation with full binding curve equilibrium measurements, enabling the accurate rank-ordering of clones with exceptionally tight binding properties.

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.

Carbon-on-metal films for surface plasmon resonance detection of DNA arrays.

Project description:Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging affords label-free monitoring of biomolecule interactions in an array format. A surface plasmon conducting metal thin film is required for SPR measurements. Gold thin films are traditionally used in SPR experiments as they are readily functionalized with thiol-containing molecules through formation of a gold-sulfur bond. The lability of this gold-thiol linkage upon exposure to oxidizing conditions and ultraviolet light renders these surfaces incompatible with light-directed synthetic methods for fabricating DNA arrays. It is shown here that applying a thin carbon overlayer to the gold surface yields a chemically robust substrate that permits light-directed synthesis and also supports surface plasmons. DNA arrays fabricated on these carbon-metal substrates are used to analyze two classes of biomolecular interactions: DNA-DNA and DNA-protein. This new strategy allows the combinatorial study of binding interactions directly from native, unmodified biomolecules of interest and offers the possibility of discovering new ligands in complex mixtures such as cell lysates.

Noble metal nanoparticles for biosensing applications.

Project description:In the last decade the use of nanomaterials has been having a great impact in biosensing. In particular, the unique properties of noble metal nanoparticles have allowed for the development of new biosensing platforms with enhanced capabilities in the specific detection of bioanalytes. Noble metal nanoparticles show unique physicochemical properties (such as ease of functionalization via simple chemistry and high surface-to-volume ratios) that allied with their unique spectral and optical properties have prompted the development of a plethora of biosensing platforms. Additionally, they also provide an additional or enhanced layer of application for commonly used techniques, such as fluorescence, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Herein we review the use of noble metal nanoparticles for biosensing strategies--from synthesis and functionalization to integration in molecular diagnostics platforms, with special focus on those that have made their way into the diagnostics laboratory.

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.

Sensitivity Comparison of Surface Plasmon Resonance and Plasmon-Waveguide Resonance Biosensors.

Project description:Plasmon-waveguide resonance (PWR) sensors are particularly useful for investigation of biomolecular interactions with or within lipid bilayer membranes. Many studies demonstrated their ability to provide unique qualitative information, but the evaluation of their sensitivity as compared to other surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors has not been broadly investigated. We report here a comprehensive sensitivity comparison of SPR and PWR biosensors for the p-polarized light component. The sensitivity of five different biosensor designs to changes in refractive index, thickness and mass are determined and discussed. Although numerical simulations show an increase of the electric field intensity by 30-35 % and the penetration depth by four times in PWR, the waveguide-based method is 0.5 to 8 fold less sensitive than conventional SPR in all considered analytical parameters. The experimental results also suggest that the increase in the penetration depth in PWR is made at the expense of the surface sensitivity. The physical and structural reasons for PWR sensor limitations are discussed and a general viewpoint for designing more efficient SPR sensors based on dielectric slab waveguides is provided.
