A carrier for surface plasmon resonance is prepared by coating a silver layer on the carrier surface, followed by heating the material for a time sufficient to anneal it.

Production of carriers for surface plasmon resonance

A process for the production of a carrier for surface plasmon resonance analysis comprising: A) depositing a preparatory layer on a surface, said preparatory layer comprising a metal selected from the group consisting of: nickel, titanium and chromium, wherein said preparatory layer is substantially uniform and has a thickness of 20-40 Angstroms, B) depositing a silver layer on said preparatory layer wherein said silver layer is substantially uniform and has a thickness of 500-600 Angstroms, and C) said carrier is suitable for surface plasmon resonance analysis.

A carrier useful in surface plasmon resonance, a technique for the analysis of antibodies, is prepared by depositing a silver layer on a treated surface. Such surface has been treated with an oxygen-containing gas to incorporate oxygen ions in the surface.
