Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) have become powerful bio-sensing techniques. These techniques allow for rapid and ultra-sensitive detection of biological analytes with applications in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Plasmonic sensors are fabricated using metal nanoparticles, metal nanostructures or a combination of both. With major advancements in the area of nano synthesis, the development of plasmonic sensors has expanded significantly. Plasmonic platforms offer a viable substitute to detection techniques such as Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in some cases and complement them in many others. Most of the state-of-the-art plasmonic biosensors can measure binding affinity and kinetic rates in real time from any molecule that ca.. View More»
