Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging Sensors: A Review

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging sensors realize label-free, real-time, highly sensitive, quantitative, high-throughput biological interaction monitoring and the binding profiles from multi-analytes further provide the binding kinetic parameters between different biomolecules. In the past two decades, SPR imaging sensors found rapid increasing applications in fundamental biological studies, medical diagnostics, drug discovery, food safety, precision measurement, and environmental monitoring. In this paper, we review the recent advances of SPR imaging sensor technology towards high-throughput multi-analyte screening. Finally, we describe our multiplex spectral-phase SPR imaging biosensor for high-throughput biosensing applications.
