This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We are developing a novel approach to immunoassays using surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE). Many of immunoassays are designed on transparent substrates surface with the layer of antibodies bound to that surface. Such designs compatible with SPCE technology. Fluorescence is mostly isotropic in space, and sensitivity is limited in part by the light collection efficiency. By the use of SPCE we can convert significant part of emission into a cone-like directional beam in a glass substrate and highly increase efficiency of signal collection
