Abstract:We introduce label-free plasmon-active platform based on ordered gold gratings with the covalently modified surface for detection of lipophilic bioobjects. Alkylbenzene groups with different chain length (CH3-, C4H9-, C10H21-and C16H33) were grafted spontaneously and electrochemically for improvement of affinity with lipophilic compounds. Modified grating surfaces were characterized by XPS, CVA, wettability, AFM and Raman spectroscopy techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
