Abstract:A biosensor for protein detection was developed using antibody-immobilized metal mesh devices. Antihemoglobin antibodies were covalently immobilized on a metal mesh device. Extraordinary transmission with a dipped structure was observed for a metal mesh device immobilized with antihemoglobin antibodies as well as for the original metal mesh device. Hemoglobin in the mixture solution containing albumin at a hundred-fold concentration was detectable using antihemoglobin-immobilized MMDs. The detectability using … Show more
“…The dip in the spectra were specific phenomena in MMD, which have been reported by our group [13][14][15] and other groups. 8,9 The dip was the result of fano-like interference effect between the terahertz light transmitted directly and obliquely through MMD.…”

“…In 2011, we reported the sensing principles of MMD in the sub-millimeter range, 12 and the possibility of protein sensing adsorbed onto the MMD by the transmittance property in the terahertz (infrared) region. [13][14][15] The MMD was manufactured with the electroforming method, which enables the fabrication of the devices of various structures, sizes, and transmittance properties of arbitrary frequency (wavelength). Therefore, it is possible to utilize the specific MMD corresponding to the target substances.…”
Biosensing of protein adsorption with metal mesh device (MMD) was investigated by computational calculations and experiments. Electromagnetic field computation was carried out with a single unit cell of MMD. Equivalent circuit model of MMD on the single unit cell was assumed, and the biosensing with MMD was analyzed in detail by computational calculation and experimental measurements. The dip frequency of MMD was shifted by adsorption of protein on MMD. The shift of dip frequency of MMD was proportional to the amount of protein adsorption. The sensitivity of MMD biosensing was dependent on the microstructure of MMD, and proportional to the square of the dip frequency. The refinement of MMD structure can improve the sensitivity of protein detection.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Recently, we developed a label-free detection method for biomolecules using our fabricated micro-and nanofluidic device. 6 This detection method is based on optical diffraction that occurs when the laser beam passes through nanostructures inside the micro-and nanofluidic device.…”
Recently, we developed a label-free detection method based on optical diffraction, and implemented it in on our fabricated micro-and nanofluidic device. This detection method is simple and useful for detecting biomolecules, but the device fabrication consists of complicated processes. In this paper, we propose a simple method for fabricating the micro-and nanofluidic device; the fabrication combines laser interference lithography with conventional photolithography. The performance of a device fabricated by the proposed method is comparable to the performance of the device in our previous study.
“…When the complex refractive index is modified by adherence of a particulate substance to the metal surface, localized electric fields are influenced, and transmission patterns are altered in a frequency-sensitive manner ( Figure 2). Based on this phenomenon, MM membranes can be employed as label-free optical sensors [2][3][4][5]. Accordingly, MM sensors have attracted considerable attention because of their prospective use as simple, inexpensive biosensors.…”
This study introduces a new optical metal mesh(MM) sensor for detection of aerosol particles. The base material of the sensor corresponds to a thin metal membrane with unique optical properties and a micromesh structure. A small air pump pulls air through the MM membrane, permitting capture of aerosol particles on the micromesh surface and subsequent detection of the particles via infrared (IR) techniques. Here, MM membranes with different square apertures (side length: 4.0, 1.8, or 1.1 μm) were combined to form two-membrane stacked MM sensors. The sensors were used to collect particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5; average diameter: ≤ 2.5 μm) as an indication of environmental pollution in the suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya. The elemental composition of each particle within captured PM2.5 was determined via wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The results suggest that stacked MM sensors can successfully provide information about aerosol particle pollutants in the local environment.
