We report on the enhancement of sensitivity of SPR biosensor by modifying the metal surface. A mixture layer, in which gold and dielectric medium coexist, was simply prepared by increasing the roughness of gold surface deposited onto a glass substrate

Articles

Hybrid organic-inorganic sol-gel materials containing silica were first called “ORMOSILs” in 1984.

Protocols

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiols are prepared by immersing a clean gold substrate into a dilute solution of the desired thiol.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
