Plasmonic metal scattering immunoassay by total internal reflection scattering microscopy with nanoscale lateral resolution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 18;51(5):945-7. doi: 10.1039/c4cc07665f. Epub 2014 Dec 1.

Abstract

Immunoassays on nanopatterned chips through TIRS detection based on reconstructing the three dimensional position provided a nanoscale accuracy of the lateral resolution by using the z-stage controller in the spatial range up to 10 nm. This method offers highly accurate and sensitive quantification with the zeptomolar (∼10(-21) M) detection of proteins.
