Surface plasmon resonance based miniaturized biosensors for medical applications

Abstract

In this chapter, short description of concept being a basis of the method, SPR systems classification, methods for sensor surface functionalization are given; structure of present-day SPR-sensors market is described. Special attention is paid to methods of SPR-sensors miniaturization and to assessment of these methods efficiency for medical applications, including prospects of SPR-sensors use for on-site diagnostics.
