Microsphere-enhanced label-free high-throughput molecular detection

In this paper, we developed a microsphere enhanced and label free high throughput molecular detection based on SPRI and microarray chips, and a self-built surface plasmon resonance imaging instrument was set. One label-free protein chip forming a 7× probe array was designed and fabricated using a commercial microarray robot spotter on chemical modified gold-coated glass slide. Antibody molecules were successfully detected in label-free and high-throughput method by using this chip. The detection signals on the chip was successfully enhanced by using microspheres with a diameter of 1 μm.
