研究目的
To design and manufacture a cuvette-shaped microfluidic chip for measuring dual Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) signals, which can be used in universal spectrophotometers for biotechnology and bioanalysis applications.
研究成果
The MIC chip demonstrated the ability to enhance signal and perform dual-plexing measurements, confirming its potential use in the biotechnology field. The chip's design allows for reuse and requires only a small amount of reagent, making it economically efficient. Future improvements could include designs for multiple measurements and real-time monitoring of biomaterial behavior.
研究不足
The study mentions that when the same nanopatterned chips are mounted for signal enhancement, the loaded chips were not exactly the same, leading to incorrect doubling. Additionally, small air bubbles trapped in the measurement room during the measurement could affect the total refractive index.
