Abstract
Optimized design of Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biosensor in terms of different metal choices and prisms are presented to the first time for the high precision detection of human blood group in near infrared wavelength range. The results are well compared with the earlier published gold coated silicon biosensor chip while discussing the pros and cons of various prism/metal choices. In this study buffer layer onto SPR active metal has been deployed to avoid the oxidation problem and contamination issue related with blood samples. Refractive index of blood samples has been considered in theoretical model based on the experimental data. Si prism has been found to be the best choice as a substrate material with combination of Al as a SPR active metal for blood group identification analysis. SPR dip slope (S), detection accuracy (D.A.) and blood group discrimination factor ( δθSPR ) have been studied with respect to different metal choices with their suitability to the next generation biosensor applications.
