| Summary |
The development of biodetection techniques for the diagnosis of diseases and environmental analysis of biological agents is an extremely significant problem. Recently, research has begun to explore new imaging and sensing strategies based on nanotechnology. One promising approach is to utilize the extraordinary optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles. The absorption and scattering cross sections of noble metal nanoparticles are orders of magnitude stronger than those of organic dyes. Thus, these nanoparticles act as excellent sensors and novel contrast agents for optical detection. Moreover, the localized plasmon resonance property of these nanoparticles makes label-free and real-time biodetection possible. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the use of noble metal nanoparticles for bioimaging and biosensing. It starts with a review of the synthesis, characterization, optical properties, and bioconjugation of noble metal nanoparticles, followed by an introduction of various biodetection techniques based on noble metal nanoparticles. In between these topics, microfabrication of biosensing chips and the use of microfluidics to enhance biosensing performance are discussed |
