Abstract
We demonstrated gold nanodimer arrays could improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). In this research, we explore the feasibility of plasmon-enhanced FCS for biomolecular study using a nanodimer array whose gap size was 18 nm. Fluorescence nanobead with a diameter of 40 nm was first examined to verify if gold nanodimer arrays can enhance SNR of fluorescence and scattering intensities. We emphasize that plasmon-enhanced FCS can improve the precision for analyzing the dynamics of the particle by combining scattering characteristics of nanodimer arrays to surface plasmon resonance imaging technique. We have also observed the fluorescence enhancement and plasmon scattering in the movement of lysosome in HEK293 cells. It was found that we could measure diffusion properties such as diffusion coefficients and anomalous exponents with a low standard deviation.
