A surface plasmon resonance array biosensor based on spectroscopic imaging.
We have developed a multi-element transduction system which combines conventional SPR spectroscopy with one-dimensional SPR microscopy to create an effective platform for monitoring binding events on macro- or micro-patterned receptor arrays created on disposable sensor chips. This creates an effective platform for monitoring simultaneous binding events on each of the regions patterned with the receptors. This system has been specifically designed with commercially available components to allow relatively easy duplication. Furthermore, this system can use a proven, simple method to compensate for changes in the bulk index of refraction of the solution containing the analytes due to changes in temperature or solute concentration with simple modifications to the sensor chips alone. Preliminary results demonstrate how this system can be used to monitor several independent biospecific binding events simultaneously.
