Gold nanostars provide high sensitivity for single nanoparticle label-free biosensing. The nanostars present multiple plasmon resonances of which the lower energy ones, corresponding to the nanostar tips and core-tip interactions, are the most sensitive to environmental changes. Streptavidin molecules are detected upon binding to individual, biotin-modified gold nanostars by spectral shifts in the plasmon resonances. Concentrations as low as 0.1 nM produce a shift of the tip related plasmon resonances of about 2.3 nm (5.3 meV).
金纳米星为单颗粒无标记生物传感提供了高灵敏度。纳米星呈现出多个等离子体共振,其中能量较低的共振对应于纳米星尖端和核尖端相互作用,对环境变化最为敏感。当单个生物素修饰的金纳米星结合时,通过等离子体共振的光谱位移来检测链霉亲和素分子。浓度低至 0.1 nM 时,大约会使尖端相关等离子体共振发生 2.3nm(5.3meV)的位移。
