Smart label-free SPR biosensing platform for hemoglobin and urine glucose detection via machine learning
摘要
This article presents the design and the numerical analysis of a smart label-free Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensor to detect the concentration of haemoglobin in blood and the concentration of glucose in the urine samples. The suggested sensor uses a thin film of silver (Ag) on the prism’s surface to excite the surface plasmons. The finite element method (FEM) was used to do numerical simulations to optimize the layer thickness and to analyse the sensor’s performance in terms of the sensitivity and the Figure of merit (FOM). The results of the simulation showed that there is a linear correlation between resonance wavelength shift and change in analyte refractive index. The optimised design obtained a sensitivity of 288.29 °/RIU, QF of 780.80
