    摘要: SPR sensors and multisensors having capillary geometry. Sensors have a capillary substrate in which at least a portion of the inside surface of the capillary is provided with an SPR-sensing area. Samples for analysis are introduced into the capillary cavity. SPR is measured by radially illuminated the capillary SPR-sensing area with light having a TM-polarized component. Light reflected from the SPR-sensing area exiting radially from the capillary is detected at selected angles to obtain reflectivity as a function of incidence angle to determine RI of the sample in the vicinity of the SPR-sensing area. The capillary geometry is readily adaptable to simultaneous measurement of several optical properties of a given sample in addition to SPR by radial and/or axial illumination of the sample. Multisensors with capillary geometry which simultaneously measure SPR and bulk RI are provided. Multisensors which combine SPR measurements with fluorescence or chemiluminescence, Raman scattering, or absorption measurements are also provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides SPR sensors in which the sensing element is a planar lightpipe. The sensors of this invention include configurations which employ multiwavelength light incident on the SPR sensing area at a single angle or at a range of angles. Sensors of this invention also include configurations that employ monochromatic light at a range of angles. Many of the configurations of the SPR lightpipe sensors of this invention involve imaging of input light through the lightpipe. In one embodiment, the invention provides a first order SPR sensor system in which the sensing element is a planar lightpipe. Light coupled into the lightpipe reflects off an SPR sensing area positioned on an external surface planar surface of the lightpipe. Multiwavelength light that is coupled into the lightpipe input face at a range of angles propagates through the lightpipe by total internal reflection (TIR), making multiple reflections, and exits in a series of angular bands each containing spectral information (including SPR features)for a small range of incidence angles. A detector or detectors are positioned to measure the reflection spectrum, including any surface plasmon resonance feature, of one or preferably more than one of the angular bands exiting the lightpipe. SPR sensor configurations include those that have multiple sensing channels and those which can be multiplexed. This invention provides SPR sensors with planar lightpipe sensing elements and method of detecting analytes in samples using these sensors. The invention also provides planar lightpipe that have a plurality of SPR sensing layers on a planar surface.

    摘要: This specification discloses various improvements in the field of SPR sensing systems. One improvement relates to a portable SPR sensing system, e.g., a system contained within a suitcase that can be hand-carried to a monitoring site. Another improvement relates to a portable, cartridge-based SPR sensing system. In this system, selected portions of the system's electrical and fluidics systems are allocated between a base unit and a removable/disposable cartridge. Other improvements relate to methods or protocols for operating an SPR sensing system. Such methods provide for the elimination of false positives and increased sensitivity, e.g., by using secondary antibodies with specificity for different target epitopes and by sensor element redundancy. In addition, protocols are provided for the detection of small molecules. Such protocols may employ a competition type assay where the presence of the analyte inhibits the binding of antibodies to surface immobilized analyte, or a displacement assay, where antibodies bound to the analyte on the sensor surface are displaced by free analyte.

    摘要: This disclosure describes new methods and devices for sensing redox-active analytes in solution. The invention combines a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor and a chemical electrode sensor. A conducting layer which supports SPR is attached to a voltage source. The voltage source is also connected to a reference electrode, which is in the aqueous solution with the SPR sensor. As the voltage is varied, the analytes undergo oxidation and reduction at the surface of the conducting film. The current is measured, just as it would be in a standard chemical electrode, with current peaks appearing at different potentials indicating different ions in the solution. Unlike a standard chemical electrode, the surface of the conducting film is also used to excite a surface plasmon wave (SPW). The SPW provides new information which is not available from any standard chemical electrode, such as the effective index of refraction at the surface of the conducting film as the analytes are being oxidized and/or reduced. This additional source of information can be used to minimize the effects of overlapping stripping peaks and interspecies compound formation as well as determine the thickness of surface layers during measurements. Additionally, the simultaneous determination of reaction properties and optical properties of reaction products can provide additional information about the aqueous support solution such as the quantity and types of natural oxidants in solution, such as oxygen or hydroxides. The formation of oxides and hydroxides will lead to measurably different optical properties.
