Label-free plasmonic biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics: a review
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: Optical biosensors, particularly those based on nanoplasmonics technology, have emerged in recent decades as a potential solution for disease diagnostics and therapy follow-up at the point-of-care (POC). These biosensor platforms could overcome some of the challenges faced in conventional diagnosis techniques offering label-free assays with immediate results and employing small and user-friendly devices.Areas covered: In this review, we will provide a critical overview of the recent advances in the development of nanoplasmonic biosensors for the POC diagnostics. We focus on those systems with demonstrated capabilities for integration in portable platforms, highlighting some of the most relevant diagnostics applications targeting proteins, nucleic acids, and cells as disease biomarkers.Expert commentary: Despite the attractive features of label-free nanoplasmonic sensors in terms of miniaturization and analytical robustness, the route toward an effective clinical implementation involves the integration of fully automated microfluidic systems for sample processing and analysis, and the optimization of surface biofunctionalization procedures. Additionally, the development of multiplexed sensors for high-throughput analysis and including specific neoantigens and novel biomarkers in detection panels will provide the means for delivering a powerful analytical technology for an accurate and improved medical diagnosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
