Journal ArticleDOI
Nanofluidic biosensing for beta-amyloid detection using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
I-Hsien Chou,Melodie Benford,Hope T. Beier,Gerard L. Coté,Miao Wang,Nan Jing,Jun Kameoka,Theresa A. Good +7 more
TL;DR: A novel nanofluidic biosensor using a controlled, reproducible surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy active site was developed to observe Abeta in different conformational states during the Abeta self-assembly process as well as to distinguish Abeta from confounder proteins commonly found in cerebral spinal fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Detection of Beta Amyloid Using Nanoshells
Hope T. Beier,Christopher B. Cowan,I-Hsien Chou,James Pallikal,James E. Henry,James E. Henry,Melodie Benford,Joseph B. Jackson,Theresa A. Good,Gerard L. Coté +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nanoshell substrate, functionalized with sialic acid residues to mimic neuron cell surfaces, was developed for the surface-enhanced Raman detection of β-amyloid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optofluidic device for ultra-sensitive detection of proteins using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, an optofluidic device is reported that can highly improve the robustness of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection and provide fingerprint information of proteins with a concentration in the nanogram per liter range within minutes.
Patent
Nano-fluidic Trapping Device for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, a nano-fluidic trapping device for assembling a SERS-active cluster includes a substrate and a microchannel, which allows the target molecules to be introduced to the SERS active cluster compartment from the reservoir.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Detection of cardiac biomarkers exploiting surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using a nanofluidic channel based biosensor towards coronary point-of-care diagnostics
TL;DR: A SERSbased multi-marker approach towards a point-of-care diagnostic system for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is proposed and qualitative information of brain natriuretic peptide, troponin I, and C-reactive protein is obtained.
