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