Abstract
A method for the spatiotemporal mapping of receptor-ligand binding kinetics in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) imaging using a chip for LSPR imaging having a glass coverslip compatible for use in a standard microscope and at least one array of functionalized plasmonic nanostructures patterned onto the glass coverslip with electron beam nanolithography and projecting a magnified image of the array to a CCD camera and monitoring the binding kinetics of the array. The nanostructures can be regenerated allowing the chip to be used multiple times.
