Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to methods and measuring instruments or sensors for use in biological, biochemical, and chemical testing, and particularly to methods, instruments, and the use of instruments which utilize surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for detecting molecules or monitoring structural and electronic changes in the molecules with ultra-high resolution and ultra-fast response times.
  • SPR surface plasmon resonance
  • SPR Surface plasmon resonance
  • SPR has also been applied to gene probes where deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) binding to a defined sequence in target analytes can be employed.
  • DNA deoxyribonucleic acid
  • RNA ribonucleic acid
  • SPR has found applications in detecting trace amount of toxic agents in air or in water for environmental protection or for chemical/biological warfare alert.
  • SPR-based sensors are promising in food industry for detecting chemical and biological contamination in food. In all these application, improving the resolution and time response of SPR detection is of vital importance.
  • Surface plasmon resonance may be achieved by using the evanescent wave which is generated when a p-polarized light beam is totally internally reflected at the boundary of a medium, e.g. a glass prism, which has a high dielectric constant.
  • a medium e.g. a glass prism
  • a paper describing the technique has been published under the title "Surface plasmon resonance for gas detection and biosensing" by Lieberg, Nylander and Lundstrom in Sensors and Actuators, Vol. 4, page 299.
  • the widely used methods for detecting SPR are based on attenuated total reflection (ATR) of a collimated laser beam is incident on a glass body, usually a prism, on which a thin metal film is coated.
  • ATR attenuated total reflection
  • the reflection decreases sharply to a minimum, corresponding to the excitation of surface plasmon waves in the film.
  • the total internal reflection is detected with a photodetector as a function of incident angle which is varied by rotating the prism.
  • the photo detector is also rotated in order to catch the reflected light.
  • the reflection decreases sharply to a minimum that appears as a dip in the reflectivity vs. incident angle plot.
  • the angular resolution achieved by this rotating prism approach is typically 10 "2 - 10 3 deg (degrees), limited by errors in the angular position and noise in the intensity of the reflected light.
  • the SPR resolution is often described in terms of the smallest detectable change in the refractive index for an analyte [refractive index units (RIU)].
  • the above angular resolution corresponds to 10 "3 - 10 "6 RIU at a wavelength of 630 nm.
  • a large distance between ihe prism and the photodetector is required which makes the setup not only bulky but also more susceptible to mechanical noise and thermal drift. The response time is slow because of the mechanical movements in the setup.
  • the above setups involve reflection intensity versus incident angle (an angle-scan system); SPR has also been detected by modulating the wavelength of incident light as described by Caruso, F., et al. (J. Appl. Phys., 1998, 83, 1023).
  • the wavelength modulation causes modulation in the reflection intensity which is monitored with a lock- in amplifier and provides an accurate measurement of the SPR dip position.
  • AOTF acousto-optic tunable filter
  • the signal to noise ratio of the AOTF SPR is six times better than that achieved by an angle-scan system.
  • these methods suffer two major drawbacks: slow response time and limited angular resolution.
  • the former one prevents the methods from detecting a fast process, such as the initial adsorption process of molecules onto surfaces, gas interactions, reactions between surface bound molecules and molecules in solution, and fast conformational changes in adsorbed proteins.
  • the later one limits the sensitivity of SPR for detecting small amounts of molecules or small structural or conformational changes in molecules.
  • the response is slow because of mechanical movements involved in the method.
  • the second method has no mechanical movements, but simultaneously detecting may channels (e.g., 1024 in a typical linear diode array) slows down the response time.
  • the angular resolution is typically poorer than 10 "3 degrees (typically on the order of 10 "2 ).
  • both methods require a large distance between the sample and the detector, which makes the setups more susceptible to mechanical noise and thermal drift. Large distances, however, deteriorate the quality of the detected beam and makes to the SPR instruments bulky.
  • the resolution of the first method is limited by the precision of measuring the angular position of the prism.
  • the resolution of the second method is limited by the number of channels (pixels) in the photo detector array and the noise level in the measured intensity in each channel. Improved resolution can be obtained using a software routine to fit the data collected by either the first or the second methods, however, this fitting procedure requires extra time and its reliability depends on the accuracy of each data point measured.
  • the second method suffers an additional problem, in that the intensity of the beam is spread out over many channels, which decreases the signal to noise ratio, and therefore limits the resolution.
  • the present invention discloses a new SPR detection method that achieves an angular resolution in the order of 10 "5 deg (or 10 "8 RIU) and response times in the range of 1 ⁇ s.
  • the method has several additional features which include simplicity, good linearity, compactness, and immunity to ambient light.
  • the method uses a convergent beam focused onto a thin metal film, but the total internal reflection is collected by a differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device instead of a CCD or a LDA.
  • the reflected light falling on the cell(s) of the differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device is first balanced so that the SPR dip is located near the center of the differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device.
  • the differential signal is linearly proportional to the shift in the SPR angle and can be easily amplified without saturation problem, it provides an accurate detection of SPR.
  • a bi-cell differential position sensitive photo-detecting device has been used by Alexander, S. et al., (J. Appl. Phys. 1989, 65, 164) in the atomic force microscope (AFM) in which the deflection of a laser beam due to bending of the AFM cantilever is measured. In the present application it is the intensity distribution due to a SPR angular shift rather than physical movement of the laser beam that is measured.
  • the present method is carried out by focusing a diode laser through a prism onto a transparent plate coated with a thin metal film.
  • the transparent plate is supported on an optical prism with index of refraction matching substance.
  • the incident light and the differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device are adjusted so that the SPR dip in the total internal reflection is located in the middle of the photo cells of the photodetecting system, corresponding to a zero differential signal from cell(s).
  • a sample cell with necessary electrodes for controlling the electrochemical potential of the metal film is mounted into which molecules to be detected or studied or introduced. The presence of molecules or changes in the molecules on the metal film leads to a small shift in the SPR dip and results in a change in the differential signal of the differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device that is easily amplified and detected.
  • One aspect of the present invention is to create a method of and sensor for detecting SPR for biological, biochemical, and chemical applications with a higher angular resolution and a faster response time.
  • the angular resolution and speed of response is improved by being able to precisely position a differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device such that it is centered on and detects the exact dip corresponding to surface plasmon resonance.
  • the detecting device can monitor changes with a response time of a few microseconds and angular resolutions on the order of 10 "5 degrees which is orders of magnitude better than previous methods.
  • An additional aspect of the present invention is to create a SPR sensor and detection method that is immune to ambient light, intensity fluctuations of the light source, and noise in the photo-detector and electronics.
  • a third aspect of the present invention is to modulate the SPR signal with the electrochemical potential of the metal film, for example using a lock-in technique, to improve the signal to noise ratio.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is to integrate electrochemical measurements, such as current, capacitance, and the like, into the SPR measurement, to provide important supplementary information about the detected molecules and improve specificity in the sensor and its applications. For example, since the ratio of the differential signal to the sum signal is proportional to the shift of the SPR angle, this method provides an accurate measurement of the SPR angle.
  • Yet another aspect of the present invention is to be able to miniaturize the
  • SPR instruments and SPR-based sensors which is important both for improving the thermal and mechanical stability of the instruments and sensor and for the convenience of using the instruments and sensors in a field environment.
  • the SPR sensors based on the present invention are compact because they consist of only a focused light source, a prism and a photodetector, and high angular resolution is achieved without requiring a large sample-photodetector separation.

The potential was held at -0.2 V for various time intervals before being stepped back to 0.3 V.
  • the shortest time that could be studied was limited by the response time of the electrochemical cell rather than by the SPR setup. Over the time window shown in Fig. 10, the SPR response can be roughly fitted by an exponential function with a time constant of ca. 2.1 ms for reduction and ca. 2.5 ms for oxidation . The change due to reduction is faster than that of oxidation. This observation is consistent with the previous studies that Cytc in the reduced state is more stable than that in the oxidized state.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de détection de résonance plasmonique de surface permettant de détecter les molécules ou des modifications de conformation de molécule avec une résolution élevée et un temps de réponse court. De la lumière provenant d'une source lumineuse (14) est focalisée, à travers un prisme, sur une couche mince métallique (15) sur laquelle des molécules échantillons à détecter sont absorbées. La réflexion interne totale de la lumière laser/incidente est collectée à l'aide d'un dispositif photodétecteur sensible à une différence de position ou d'intensité au lieu de l'être par une cellule unique ou par un ensemble de photodétecteurs (12), lesquels étaient largement utilisés auparavant. Le rapport du signal différentiel au signal de somme du dispositif photodétecteur (12) sensible à la différence de position d'intensité donne une mesure précise du décalage de l'angle de résonance plasmonique de surface dû à l'absorption de molécules sur les couches métalliques (15) ou à des modifications de conformation dans les molécules absorbées. La présente invention ne nécessite aucun appareillage numérique pour la détermination de l'angle de résonance et l'ensemble de mesure est compact et insensible à la lumière de fond. Les procédés et les capteurs selon l'invention peuvent être utilisés dans de nombreuses applications biologiques, biochimiques et chimiques, notamment pour la mesure de petites modifications de conformation de molécules et ils permettent l'étude de réactions à transfert d'électrons.
