Noble metal nanoparticles are well known for their strong interactions with light through the resonant excitations of the collective oscillations of the conduction electrons on the particles, the so-called surface plasmon resonances. The close proximity of two nanoparticles is known to result in a red-shifted resonance wavelength peak, due to near-field coupling. We have Subsequently employed this phenomenon and developed a new approach to glucose sensing, which is based on the aggregation and disassociation of 20-nm gold particles and the changes in plasmon absorption induced by the presence of glucose. High-molecular-weight dextran-coated nanoparticles are aggregated with concanavalin A (Con A), which results in a significant shift and broadening of the gold plasmon absorption. The addition of glucose competitively binds to Con A, reducing gold nanoparticle aggregation and therefore the plasmon absorption when monitored at a near-red arbitrary wavelength. We have optimized our plasmonic-type glucose nanosensors with regard to particle stability, pH effects, the dynamic range for glucose sensing, and the observation wavelength to be compatible with clinical glucose requirements and measurements. In addition, by modifying the amount of dextran or Con A used in nanoparticle fabrication, we can to some extent tune the glucose response range, which means that a single sensing platform could potentially be used to monitor muM --> mM glucose levels in many physiological fluids, such as tears, blood, and urine, where the glucose concentrations are significantly different.
