Abstract
Development of highly sensitive chips through a straightforward preparation process is a goal pursued by researchers and engineers. A common strategy involves the efficient utilization of plasmonic fields generated by noble metal nanostructures. In this study, we present a simple preparation process that yields sensor chips with numerous hotspot structures, achieved solely through ozone plasma treatment and silver (Ag) physical vapor deposition (PVD) on a photosensitive resin. Using these plasmonic-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) chips by attaching a polydiacetylene (PDA) probe material, an antigen-antibody interaction is successfully detected. Optimized Ag nanocluster arrays are demonstrated a 34-fold fluorescent enhancement comparing to the planar Ag nanostructure upon the concentration of the antigen myeloid progenitor cell inhibitory factor 1 (MPIF-1) is 1.25 ng/mL. According to analyses, it is found that the 34-fold fluorescent enhancement is attributed to the periodic structure and the hotspot effect. Based on this, the limit of detection (LOD) for the MPIF-1 is achieved the concentration of approximately 30 pg/mL.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
