Abstract

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 have previously demonstrated the use of metallic particles near fluorophores to obtain increases in quantum yield, photostability and multi-photon excitation. We propose to use metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) to develop new concepts for biomedical platform assay which provide a minimum of a 10 to 100-fold increase in detectability over typical fluorescence assays.
