Article Abstract

Background: The cardiac troponin T (TnT) is a cardiospecific, highly sensitive marker for myocardial damage and is immediately released to bloodstream during the acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensor was developed for the quick detection of human cTnT in real time.

Methods: An SPR sensor streptavidin terminated self-assembled monolayer, which was used to binding biotinylated anti troponin T monoclonal antibodies, was developed.

Results: The cTnT was determined from successive injections with a linear range from 0.03 up to 6.5 ng/ml. The detection limit was 0.01 ng/ml corresponding to a resonant angle change of 1.28 millidegrees. The system presented a good repeatability with 3.4% of variation between run after regeneration of the coated surface with a solution of 1% SDS. The effects of blocking of non-specific adsorption using different solutions were studied. It was possible to measure the cTnT without dilution of the human serum with good specificity and reproducibility.

Conclusion: This sensor is practical and offer quick response in interval of 800 s.

Cryptococcosis is a severe fungal infection, particularly in immunosuppressed individuals, causing over 112,000 HIV-related deaths annually. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical, but current methods often lack the necessary sensitivity, specificity, and accessibility for point-of-care use. A major challenge is identifying highly specific bioreceptors for detecting -specific antibodies.

The synergy between electroosmotic flow (EOF) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) offers a transformative approach to overcome diffusion-limited biosensing. However,  existing voltage-driven EOF systems face critical trade-offs between high-voltage requirements and biocompatibility. Here, we present a self-powered electroosmosis-enhanced SPR immunosensor that integrates a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with SPR imaging (SPRi) to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of HER2-positive cancer cells.

Soluble cluster of differentiation 146 (sCD146) is expressed in various immune cells and plays crucial roles in cellular processes linked to tumor cell metastasis, as well as in cell signalling, migration, proliferation, and inflammation. Detecting sCD146 in plasma has become a promising approach for early cancer screening. A rapid and highly specific dual-mode immunosensor that integrates colorimetry and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) techniques was successfully developed in this study.

We report the design of a smartphone-assisted plasmonic immunosensor and its application to the detection of several food contaminants, namely staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), bovine β-lactoglobulin (BLG), and hen egg white lysozyme (LYSO). Comprehensive characterization of antibodies was performed by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPR-i), demonstrating high affinity and specificity for each target, which supports their potential application in complex food matrices. The immunosensing platform utilizes gold nanoparticle-conjugated antibodies and inexpensive glass slides as single-use chips.
