The method has been used in life sciences, material sciences and biosensor development.
In life sciences, the main applications focus on pharmaceutical development including small-molecule, antibody or nanoparticle interactions with target with a biomembrane or with a living cell monolayer. As first in the world, MP-SPR is able to separate transcellular and paracellular drug uptake in real-time and label-free for targeted drug delivery.
In biosensor development, MP-SPR is used for assay development for point-of-care applications. Typical developed biosensors include electrochemical printed biosensors, ELISA and SERS.
In material sciences, MP-SPR is used for optimization of thin solid films from Ångströms to 100 nanometers (graphene, metals, oxides), soft materials up to microns (nanocellulose, polyelectrolyte) including nanoparticles. Applications including thin film solar cells, barrier coatings including anti-reflective coatings, antimicrobial surfaces, self-cleaning glass, plasmonic metamaterials, electro-switching surfaces, layer-by-layer assembly, and graphene.
