    Author: Ng SP, Wu CM, Wu SY, Ho HP, Kong SK.
    Journal: Biosens Bioelectron; 2010 Dec 15; 26(4):1593-8. PubMed ID: 20800466.
    Abstract:
    We introduce a novel wide dynamic range phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on differential spectral interferometry. Superseding conventional spectroscopic approach where only the SPR dip is monitored, our system acquires the spectral phase information of the entire electromagnetic field that undergoes SPR transformation. Since the SPR-induced phase change is highly wavelength specific with fixed incident angle, ultra-high sensitivity achievable through phase-sensitive detection, as reported herein, is maintained continuously across the spectral domain in response to refractive index changes. Our system has demonstrated a detection limit of 2.2×10(-7) in terms of refractive index unit (RIU) using standard single-layer gold surface. In terms of biosensing performance, the estimated detection sensitivity obtained from bovine serum albumin (BSA) antibody-antigen binding experiments is 0.5 ng ml(-1).
