We present the use of surface charges in dual gold-nanoslit electrodes to improve the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection limit by several orders of magnitude. The SPR is directly generated by gold-nanoslit arrays in the two electrodes. The SPR shifts for both nanoslit arrays are measured simultaneously with a simple hyperspectral setup. When biomolecules are captured by specific antibodies on the dual electrodes, the surface charge is changed during the electrochemical process due to the increase in surface impedance. The push-pull-type electrodes generate opposite surface charges. Using the differences in both spectral shifts, the change in surface charge is detected sensitively. We demonstrate that using a [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox process after antigen-antibody interactions, the dual nanoslit electrodes show an enhancement of the detection limit from 1 μg/mL to 10 pg/mL.

D006046 Gold A yellow metallic element with the atomic symbol Au, atomic number 79, and atomic weight 197. It is used in jewelry, goldplating of other metals, as currency, and in dental restoration. Many of its clinical applications, such as ANTIRHEUMATIC AGENTS, are in the form of its salts.
D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D000937 Antigen-Antibody Reactions The processes triggered by interactions of ANTIBODIES with their ANTIGENS. Antigen Antibody Reactions,Antigen-Antibody Reaction,Reaction, Antigen-Antibody,Reactions, Antigen-Antibody
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.
