Popis: This research demonstrates the development of a transmission-mode localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor chip using a cuvette cell system for the sensitive detection of a biomolecule marker such as C-reactive protein (CRP). In order to develop a highly sensitive LSPR sensor chip, plasmonically active gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were decorated onto various transparent substrates in the form of a uniform, high-density single layer using a self-assembly process. The transparent substrate surface was modified with amine functional groups via (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) treatment, and the ligand concentration and temperature (0.5% APTES at 60°C) were then optimized to control the binding energy with AuNPs. The optimized plasmonically active strip was subsequently prepared by dipping the amine-functionalized substrate into AuNPs for 8 h. The optimized plasmonic strip functionalized with anti-CRP was transformed into a portable LSPR sensor chip by placing it inside a cuvette cell system, and its detection performance was evaluated using CRP as a model sample. The detection limit for CRP using our LSPR sensor chip was 0.01 μg/mL, and the detection dynamic range was 0.01–10 μg/mL with a %CV of
