Surface plasmon resonance studies of immunoreactions utilizing disposable diffraction gratings.

The specificity of protein binding between immuno-gamma globulin (IgG) and anti-IgG has been investigated by means of surface plasmon resonance measurements, with a view to determining whether a perspex replica of a holographic diffraction grating can be used efficiently as the momentum-coupling device. The replicas are easy to fabricate, of low cost, and may be useful as disposable sensing heads in a biosensor. The majority of all published work concerning surface-plasmon-based biosensors has detailed the use of prisms as the momentum-coupling devices. Therefore, the relative advantages and disadvantages of both systems are discussed in this paper, including a sensitive optical technique which is beyond the scope of prism geometries.
