In this paper, we have studied theoretically the effect of bimetallic silver/ gold layer on sensitivity of the graphene based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. Here, silver layer (instead of chromium and titanium) is used as an adhesive layer in between gold and BK7 glass prism. The optimized thickness of silver/gold layers reported in literature has been used for the analysis of various sensitivity parameters of the biosensor. A computational simulation is performed to analyze the nature of plasmon dip shift with respect to the addition of graphene layer and binding layer respectively.

Comparative analysis of the sensitivity of two surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors was conducted on a single-metallic Au sensor and bimetallic Ag–Au sensor, using a cathepsin S sensor as an example. Numerically modeled resonance curves of Au and Ag–Au layers, with parameters verified by the results of experimental reflectance measurement of real-life systems, were used for the analysis of these sensors. Mutual relationships were determined between ∂Y/∂n components of sensitivity of the Y signal in the SPR measurement to change the refractive index n of the near-surface sensing layer and ∂n/∂c sensitivity of refractive index n to change the analyte’s concentration, c, for both types of sensors. Obtained results were related to experimentally determined calibration curves of both sensors. A characteristic feature arising from the comparison of calibration curves is the similar level of Au and Ag–Au biosensors’ sensitivity in the linear range, where the signal of the AgAu sensor is at a level several times greater. It was shown that the influence of sensing surface morphology on the ∂n/∂c sensitivity component had to be incorporated to explain the features of calibration curves of sensors. The shape of the sensory surface relief was proposed to increase the sensor sensitivity at low analyte concentrations.

AbstractHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive exosomes play an extremely important role in the diagnosis and treatment options of breast cancers. Herein, based on the reformative tyramine signal amplification (TSA) enabled by molecular aptamer beacon (MAB) conversion, a label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor was proposed for highly sensitive and specific detection of HER2-positive exosomes. The exosomes were captured by the HER2 aptamer region of MAB immobilized on the chip surface, which enabled the exposure of the G-quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA) that could form peroxidase-like G4-hemin. In turn, the formed G4-hemin catalyzed the deposition of plentiful tyramine-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-Ty) on the exosome membrane with the help of H2O2, generating a significantly enhanced SPR signal. In the reformative TSA system, the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a major component was replaced with nonenzymic G4-hemin, bypassing the defects of natural enzymes. Moreover, the dual-recognition of the surface proteins and lipid membrane of the desired exosomes endowed the sensing strategy with high specificity without the interruption of free proteins. As a result, this developed SPR biosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 1.0 × 104 to 1.0 × 107 particles/mL. Importantly, this strategy was able to accurately distinguish HER2-positive breast cancer patients from healthy individuals, exhibiting great potential clinical application. Graphical Abstract

<p><br />Halal foods and medicines are an absolute daily needs for the Muslim community in Indonesia. Therefore the authority institutions in indonesian goverment should ensure the availability of this. It is of course inseparable from the role of higher education through the development of its technology to develop halal detection of foods and drugs. This study is an effort to contribute to the Halal Research Center of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta through the biosensor development in halal detection foods and medicines based on biosensor SPR. This device using graphene materials to improve the detection sensitivity of pork gelatin material that is likely contained in foodstuffs and medicine. From analytical calculation and computation, enhancement of the SPR biosensor performance by involvement graphene it was shown through the ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) reflective curve. The result of this results was found the enhancement of the sensitivity 2,86 %.</p><p>Keyword: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Porcine Gelatin, Graphene, ATR</p>
