Abstract:

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor was a new method for detecting 3-indole acetic acid (IAA). We adopted two kinds of indole acetic acid SPR biosensors to detect IAA:Traditional sensor 1 and Au/Ag alloy nanoparticles based sensor 2. Sensor 1:The wavenumber shifts were linearly proportional to the IAA concentration in a range from 175 to 350 μg/L with a detection limit of 25 μg/L (S/N=3). Sensor 2:The wavenumber shifts were linearly proportional to the IAA concentration in a range from 17.5 to 250 μg/L with a detection limit of 2.2 μg/L (S/N=3). The results showed that the sensor 2 based on Au/Ag alloy nanoparticles had higher sensitivity and lower detection limit than the the sensor 1. The rate of standard addition recovery was 96%-100.2%, the average was 98.4%. The prepared SPR biosensor had good precision, stability, repeatability and specificity.
