Bottom-Up Fabrication of Plasmonic Nanoantenna-Based High-throughput Multiplexing Biosensors for Ultrasensitive Detection of microRNAs Directly from Cancer Patients' Plasma.

ABSTRACT: There is an unmet need in clinical point-of-care (POC) cancer diagnostics for early state disease detection, which would greatly increase patient survival rates. Currently available analytical techniques for early stage cancer diagnosis do not meet the requirements for POC of a clinical setting. They are unable to provide the high demand of multiplexing, high-throughput, and ultrasensitive detection of biomarkers directly from low volume patient samples ("liquid biopsy"). To overcome these current technological bottle-necks, herein we present, for the first time, a bottom-up fabrication strategy to develop plasmonic nanoantenna-based sensors that utilize the unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of chemically synthesized gold nanostructures, gold triangular nanoprism
