Diagnostic plasmonic sensors: opportunities and challenges

Abstract

The medical fraternity is currently burgeoned and stressed with a huge rush of patients who have inflammatory conditions, metabolite diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. In these circumstances, advanced sensing technologies could have a huge impact on the quality of life of patients. Given plasmonic resonance effects significantly improve the ability to rapidly and accurately detect biological markers, plasmonic technology is harnessed to develop a fast and accurate diagnosis that can provide timely intervention with the diseases and can also aid the recovery process by complementing the therapy stage. In this short review, we provide an overlook of how the field of plasmonic sensing has revolutionized the field of medical diagnostics. This article reviews the fundamentals and development of plasmonics. In addition, we highlight the sensitivity of various SPR and LSPR sensors. The chemistry for functionalizing plasmonic sensors is also discussed. This review also outlines some general suggestions for future directions that we feel might be useful to advance our understanding of the universe or speed up the development of plasmonic sensors in the future.
