Popis: We present the fabrication of gold nanohole arrays using thermal nanoimprint lithography and integration into a microfluidic device for detection of biological analytes. The biosensor makes use of a surface-plasmon mediated effect known as enhanced optical transmission, in which the transmission of light is modulated. The sensitivity achieved with these gold nanohole arrays has been characterized and up-to 300 RIU/nm were obtained varying the array parameters. Detection of protein biomarkers via capture by specific antibodies has been achieved demonstrating the biosensing capabilities of the fabricated devices.
