Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) plays a dominant role in real-time interaction sensing of biomolecular binding events. This book focuses on a total system description including optics, fluidics and sensor surfaces. It covers all commercial SPR systems in the market. It is the first of its kind and fills a gap in the technical literature as no other handbook on SPR is currently available. The final chapter discussed new trends and a vision is given for future developments and needs of the SPR market. This excellent handbook provides comprehensive information with easy to use, stand-alone chapters and will be of great use to anyone one working with or affiliated to the technology.Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Introduction to Surface Plasmon Resonance; Chapter 2: Physics of Surface Plasmon Resonance; Chapter 3: SPR Instrumentation; Chapter 4: Kinetic Models Describing Biomolecular Interactions at Surfaces; Chapter 5: Kinetic and Thermodynamic Analysis of Ligand-Receptor Interactions: SPR Applications in Drug Development; Chapter 6: Surface Chemistry in SPR Technology; Chapter 7: Measurement of the Analysis Cycle: Scanning SPR Microarray Imaging of Autoimmune Diseases; Chapter 8: Advanced Methods for SPR Imaging Biosensing; Chapter 9: Surface Plasmon Fluorescence Techniques for Bioaffinity Studies; Chapter 10: SPR Imaging for Clinical Diagnostics; Chapter 11: The Benefits and Scope of Surface Plasmon Resonance-based Biosensors in Food Analysis; Chapter 12: Future Trends in SPR Technology
