Abstract
In recent years, the emergence of COVID-19 and other epidemics caused by RNA(ribonucleic acid)-type genetic viruses has aroused the close attention of governments around the world on emergency response to public safety and health emergencies. In this paper, an electrodeless biosensing detection chip for RNA virus medical detection is designed using quartz crystal microbalance technology and local surface plasmon resonance technology. The plasmonic resonance characteristic in the nanostructures of gold nanorods-quartz substrates with different parameters and the surface potential distribution of the quartz crystal microbalance sensing chip were studied by COMSOL finite element simulation software. The results show that the arrangement structure and spacing of gold nanorod dimers greatly affect the local surface plasmon resonance of nanorods, which in turn affects the detection results of biomolecules. Moreover, high concentrations of “hot spots” are distributed between both ends and the gap of the gold nanorod dimer, which reflects the strong hybridization of the multiple resonance modes of the nanoparticles. In addition, by simulating and calculating the surface potential distribution of the electrode area and non-electrode area of the biosensor chip, it was found that the biosensor chip with these two areas can enhance the piezoelectric effect of the quartz chip. Under the same simulation conditions, the biochip with a completely electrodeless structure showed a better sensing performance. The sensor chip combining QCM and LSPR can reduce the influence of the metal electrode on the quartz wafer to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detection. Considering the significant influence of the gold nanorod dimer plasma resonance mode and the significant advantages of the electrodeless biosensor chip, an electrodeless biosensor combining these two technologies is proposed for RNA virus detection and screening, which has potential applications in biomolecular measurement and other related fields.
