LSPR Instrument Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) instrument consists of electronic, optical, mechanical, automation modules and software. The LSPR phenomena are caused by resonant collective oscillation of the free electrons at the interface between gold nanoparticles and analytes excited by the incident light. LSPR instrument can measure specific biomolecules quantitatively based on the LSPR wavelength shift and intensity. The advantages of this instrument includes label free and real time test, high sensitivity and selectivity detection, need for small amount of analytes, portable, low cost and no temperature control is needed. The LSPR devices are used by researchers in labeled and non-labeled biomolecular monitoring, drug discovery, diagnostics.
