Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for nanoplastic detection

Caption

The SPR biosensor uses a polystyrene-binding peptide immobilized on a gold film to selectively capture nanoplastic particles. By detecting changes in SPR in real time, the system enables rapid, label-free detection with minimal sample preparation.
