Description

SPR sensing chip and sensing system based on hydrogel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optical biochemical sensing, and particularly relates to a hydrogel-based SPR sensing chip and a sensing system.
Background
The SPR sensor uses evanescent waves generated by total reflection of light on a medium and a metal interface to trigger collective oscillation of free electrons on the metal surface so as to generate surface plasma waves, when the wavelength or the incident angle of incident light is a certain proper value, the wave vector component of the incident light along the interface is equal to the wave vector of the surface plasma waves, the incident light and the surface plasma waves resonate, the energy of the incident light is absorbed, the energy of the reflected light is rapidly reduced, a lowest intensity value, namely an SPR resonance peak, appears on the intensity spectrum of the reflected light, the resonance angle changes along with the change of the refractive index of the medium on the surface of the metal film, and the change of the refractive index is in direct proportion to the mass of molecules combined on the metal surface. Thus, by analyzing the resonance angle, information on the intermolecular interaction can be obtained. Currently, the current practice is. The main research directions of the SPR sensor technology are miniaturization, high throughput, and improvement of sensitivity of the SPR sensor, and the sensitivity is a primary factor inhibiting the development of the SPR sensor, so how to improve the sensitivity of the SPR sensor becomes one of the research hotspots of the SPR sensing technology at present.
The theoretical value of the sensitivity of the current angle type SPR sensing system can reach 10-6-10-7RIU, however, the actual sensitivity is difficult to reach 10 due to limitations in the processing level of the system components (light source, lens, etc.) and the sensor chip-7RIU. In addition, for the angle-type SPR sensing system, the detection range of the SPR sensing system is also limited due to the limitation of the angle of the incident light. The existing system scans the angle by designing a mechanical part, but the scheme has high requirements on the precision and the stability of the mechanical part, and is not beneficial to practical application. There are also ways to focus beams of different angles using cylindrical mirrors, but a single cylindrical mirror has a limited angle to focus the beam.

Preferably, the chromium film 2 is used to enhance the adhesion of the silver film to the flat glass sheet.
The invention utilizes the flat silver film to generate the traditional SPR and utilizes the gold nanoparticles 6 to generate the Local Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR).

In the case of satisfying the function of amplifying the change in refractive index, the less the sample consumption, the better.
As shown in fig. 2, a sensing system includes:
a light source 8, a collimating beam expander 9, a polarizer 10, a diaphragm 11, an array cylindrical mirror 12, a coupling prism 13, a sensor chip 14 according to any one of claims 1 to 5, an array cylindrical mirror 15, a first imaging lens 16, a second imaging lens 17, and a CCD/CMOS18, the light source 8, the collimation and beam expanding lens 9, the polaroid 10, the diaphragm 11 and the array cylindrical mirror 12 are sequentially arranged on a first straight line, light emitted by the light source 8 sequentially passes through the collimation and beam expanding lens 9, the polaroid 10, the diaphragm 11, the array cylindrical mirror 12, is incident on the coupling prism 13 and the sensing chip 14, the array cylindrical lens 15, the first imaging lens 16, the second imaging lens 17 and the CCD/CMOS18 are sequentially arranged on a second straight line, and the light reflected by the sensing chip 14 and the coupling prism 13 is received by the CCD/CMOS18 through the array cylindrical lens 15, the first imaging lens 16 and the second imaging lens 17 in sequence.
The light source 8 is used for providing single-wavelength light beams, and the wavelength is about 630 nm;
the collimation beam expanding lens 9 is used for expanding the single-wavelength light beam and then collimating the single-wavelength light beam;
a polarizing plate 10 for polarizing the single-wavelength collimated light beam to obtain a polarization state;
the array cylindrical mirror 12 is used for performing unidirectional focusing on the polarized single-wavelength collimated light beam and providing unidirectional focusing light beams containing angle information, namely, providing light rays with different angles to be incident on the coupling prism, so that the detection range of the experimental system is greatly improved;
the coupling prism 13 is used for increasing the wave vector of incident light, exciting plasma resonance on the surface of the metal film by using evanescent waves generated by total reflection of the incident light, has a refractive index of about 1.5, and is connected with the flat glass sheet by using refractive index matching fluid;
the sensor chip 14 of any one of claims 1-5;
the array cylindrical mirror 15 is used for restoring the light beam carrying the angle information into parallel light;
and the first imaging lens 16 and the second imaging lens 17 are used for reducing the light spot of the parallel light to the size of a CCD/CMOS18 target surface.
The system adopts prism coupling angle modulation, the refractive index of the coupling prism is about 1.5, and the SPR sensing chip based on hydrogel is coupled with the coupling prism through refractive index matching fluid. The light source adopts an LED light source.
The working principle of the invention is as follows: divergent light emitted by an LED light source 8 is collimated by a collimating lens 9, passes through a polarizing film 10 to obtain polarized light, passes through a diaphragm 11 to obtain a required light spot size, reaches an array cylindrical mirror 12, the light spots are compressed into a line by the array cylindrical mirror 12, the light ray contains light information of different angles, reaches a sensing chip 14 through a coupling prism 13, and an SPR phenomenon is generated on the sensing chip 14, specifically: on one hand, local surface plasmas LSPR are generated around the gold nanoparticles, and the LSPR is mainly concentrated near the surfaces of the gold nanoparticles, so that each gold nanoparticle can cause the enhancement of a local electromagnetic field. Secondly, SPR generated by the flat silver film is coupled with LSPR generated by the gold nanoparticles, so that the electromagnetic field is further enhanced, and as can be seen from figures 3 and 4, the gold nanoparticles have an obvious local enhancement effect on the electromagnetic field, while the flat silver film has no enhancement effect, as shown in figure 5. Since the electromagnetic field generated by surface plasmon resonance is very sensitive to changes in the medium, the enhancement of the electromagnetic field is beneficial to improve the sensitivity of SPR sensing. On the other hand, the hydrogel, which is a matrix in contact with the sample, amplifies the change in the refractive index of the sample, and the change in the refractive index of the sample becomes large, and the change in the corresponding resonance angle becomes large, thereby improving the sensitivity of SPR sensing. The detection range of the SPR sensor is greatly improved by adopting a cylindrical mirror array mode.

The invention utilizes the cylindrical mirror array to enlarge the detection angle of the sensing system so as to enlarge the detection range of the SPR sensing system, and can realize multi-channel measurement.
The invention improves the sensitivity of the sensor by combining the sensing chip with other materials, and can stably detect.
