A chip-based ultrasensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor in a checkerboard nanostructure on plastic substrates is presented for digital detection. The sensing elements on the checkerboard are composed of silver-capped nanoslit arrays, which were fabricated using the thermal-embossing nanoimprint method, to meet the demand for low-cost and rapid fabrication. Sharp Fano resonances in the optimized nanoslit arrays provide high-intensity sensitivities (20,000% per refractive index unit), with an element size of 12.5µm. The polarization-dependent transmission in the checkerboard pattern produces optical isolation between sensing elements and results in a crosstalk lower than 1%. Protein-antibody experiments demonstrated that the digital detection limit was up to 1pg/mL, which is approximately 1000 times lower than that of conventional analog detection. For a 140µm×140µm checkerboard pattern, the dynamic range was approximately 100 times higher than that of conventional surface plasmon resonance measurements. This new digital detection method is very useful for detecting ultralow concentrations of analytes with a nonuniform distribution on the sensor surface.

D020349 Surface Plasmon Resonance A biosensing technique in which biomolecules capable of binding to specific analytes or ligands are first immobilized on one side of a metallic film. Light is then focused on the opposite side of the film to excite the surface plasmons, that is, the oscillations of free electrons propagating along the film's surface. The refractive index of light reflecting off this surface is measured. When the immobilized biomolecules are bound by their ligands, an alteration in surface plasmons on the opposite side of the film is created which is directly proportional to the change in bound, or adsorbed, mass. Binding is measured by changes in the refractive index. The technique is used to study biomolecular interactions, such as antigen-antibody binding.
