Simultaneous surface acoustic wave and surface plasmon resonance measurements: Electrodeposition and biological interactions monitoring

Simultaneous surface acoustic wave and surface plasmon resonance measurements: electrodeposition and biological interactions monitoring

Abstract We present results from an instrument combining surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements. The objective is to use two independent methods, the former based on adsorbed mass change measurements and the latter on surface dielectric properties variations, to identify physical properties of protein layers, and more specifically their water co...

Combined surface acoustic wave and surface plasmon resonance measurement of collagen and fibrinogen layers

We use an instrument combining optical (surface plasmon resonance) and acoustic (Love mode acoustic wave device) real-time measurements on a same surface for the identification of water content in collagen and fibrinogen protein layers. After calibration of the surface acoustic wave device sensitivity by copper electrodeposition, the bound mass and its physical properties – density and optical ...

Surface Plasmon Resonance Used to Monitor Biological Interactions

Biomolecular interactions by Surface Plasmon Resonance technology.

The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technique makes it possible to measure biomolecular interactions in real-time with a high degree of sensitivity and without the need of label. The information obtained is both qualitative and quantitative and it is possible to obtain the kinetic parameters of the interaction. This new technology has been used to study a diverse set of interaction partners of ...

Surface plasmon resonance in protein-membrane interactions.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has become one of the most important techniques for studying macromolecular interactions. The most obvious advantages of SPR over other techniques are: direct and rapid determination of association and dissociation rates of binding process, no need for labelling of protein or lipids, and small amounts of sample used in the assay (often nM concentrations of protei...
