ABSTRACTThe application of nanotechnologies to address biomedical questions is a key strategy for innovation in biomedical research. Among others, a key point consists in the availability of nanotechnologies for monitoring cellular processes in a real-time and label-free approach. Here, we focused on a grating-coupled Surface Plasmon Resonance (GC-SPR) sensor exploiting phase interrogation. This sensor can be integrated in a microfluidic chamber that ensures cell viability and avoids cell stress. We report the calibration of the sensor response as a function of cell number and its application to monitor cell adhesion kinetics as well as cell response to an external stimulus. Our results show that GC-SPR sensors can offer a valuable alternative to prism-coupled or imaging SPR devices, amenable for microfluidic implementation.

SPR cytometry entails the measurement of parameters from intact cells using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon. Specific real-time and label-free binding of living cells to sensor surfaces has been made possible through the availability of SPR imaging (SPRi) instruments and researchers have started to explore its potential in the last decade. Here we will discuss the mechanisms of detection and additionally describe the problems and issues of mammalian cells in SPR biosensing, both from our own experience and with information from the literature. Finally, we build on the knowledge and applications that has already materialized in this field to give a forecast of some exciting applications for SPRi cytometry.

This paper introduced a new method for detection of amphetamine based on the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) techniques. Experimental results show that SPR is approved to be a suitable approach for detection of amphetamine due to its unique properties such as label-free, real-time, high sensitivity, etc. By introducing such a SPR detection, 10μg/ml amphetamine could be easily detected and compounds with similar molecular structure are also expected suitable for SPR detection.
