Abstract
We describe the integration of 1-µm-diameter microcavity surface-plasmon-resonance sensors with microfluidics, test their sensitivity to refractive-index changes, relate their response to the response units (RU) used in Biacore instruments and demonstrate their biosensing capability by distinguishing the interaction of glucose oxidase (160kDa) with its natural substrate (βD-Glucose, 180Da) from its interactions with non-specific substrates (L-Glucose, D-Mannose or 2-DeoxyD-Glucose). The same protocol run on a Biocore-3000 reveals no internation between glucose oxidase and the substrates. The biosensor can detect binding of about 25,000 proteins (6.5 fg), 10⁶ times fewer than classical surface-plasmon-resonance biosensors.
