Abstract

Previously, we have demonstrated (a) a new nanoplasmonic surface (D2PA) [1] that enhances fluorescence assay (LoD) by 106 fold (to 300 aM) for 96-well-microtiter and 100 μL sample volume [2]; and (b) an microfluidic devices with D2PA inside microchannel that has a LoD enhancement of 104 fold (to 136 pM) for 120 nL sample volume and an incubation time reduction by 6 fold (to 20 mins)[3, 4]. Here we report a new method [5] that offers further significant enhancements over the previous enhancements, achieving additional 23-fold sensitivity increase (to 6 pM, 120 nL sample volume) and addtional 10 fold incubation time reduction (to 2 min), by creating local electrical field and gradient on D2PA.
