Cover Story: Plasmon assisted microscopy of nano-objects is a highly sensitive label-free method, which helps to detect, size, and quantify individual nano-particles. The PAMONO-sensor enables specific detection of viruses, virus-like particles and microvesicles in aquatic samples. Sensor surface functionalization with protein A/G facilitates analysis of surface markers and content of the captured biological vesicles. These features excite an interest to the PAMONO-sensor as to an analytical tool for scanning of liquid biopsy samples. View this paper
