Abstract
Development of new detection methodologies and amplification schemes is indispensable for plasmonic biosensors to improve the sensitivity for the detection of trace amounts of analytes. Herein, an ultrasensitive scheme for signal enhancement based on the concept of surface-plasmon-resonance-enhanced light scattering (SP-LS) was validated experimentally and theoretically. The SP-LS of gold nanoparticles' (AuNPs) tags was employed in a sandwich assay for the detection of cardiac troponin I and provided up to 2 orders of magnitude improved sensitivity over conventional AuNPs-enhanced refractometric measurements and 3 orders of magnitude improvement over label-free SPR. Simulations were also performed to provide insights into the physical mechanisms.
