    Abstract:
    Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) sensors allow the characterization of a metal/dielectric interface. Providing proper biochemical functionalization and spatial structuration of the functionalized surface, an optical biochip system--label free and real time--can be achieved. We study the impact of the different physical parameters on the quality of the measurements. Such a SPRI system has a great sensitivity to small variations of the physical parameters (layer optical index, thickness, etc.) occurring at the sensor surface. Precision and reliability of the measurements are provided by a multidimensional approach (4D i.e. spatial coordinates x-y, time t, angle of incidence theta) allowing multiple self-calibration procedures. Such apparatus has already been successfully applied in genomics and proteomics, studying DNA:DNA and oligosaccharide:protein interactions. In this article, we illustrate the advantages of the SPRI setup applied to the detection of gene mutations, using as a model the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis. The results demonstrate that the system is able to monitor and analyse the interaction under investigation, allowing the diagnosis of genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms by exploiting only a part of the multidimensional potential (x, y, t, theta).
