BIOASSAYS USING PLASMONIC SCATTERING FROM NOBLE METAL NANOSTRUCTURES

摘要

The present invention relates to detecting and/or measuring scattering effects due to the aggregating metallic nanostructures or the interaction of plasmonic emissions from approaching metallic nanoparticles. The scattering effects may be measured at different angles, different wavelengths, changes in absorption and/or changes in polarization relative to changes in the distances between nanoparticles.
