Herein, we fabricated a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) nanosensor for selective, sensitive, and label-free microalbumin detection both in aqueous and urine sample solutions. First, HSA-imprinted nanoparticles were synthesized, which consist of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and N-methacryloyl-L-leucine methyl ester as a cross-linker and functional monomer. The nanoparticles were characterized by zeta-size and scanning electron microscope analyses and were dropped onto the SPR chip surface to make HSA sensitive nanosensor. Characterization studies of HSA-imprinted SPR chip were carried out by atomic force microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angle, and ellipsometer. The limit of detection and limit of quantification values of HSA-imprinted SPR nanosensor were calculated as 0.7pM and 1.9pM for the concentration range of 0.15-500nM. Selectivity studies of HSA-imprinted SPR nanosensor were achieved with hemoglobin and transferrin proteins which were chosen as competitor molecules. HSA-imprinted SPR nanosensor was displayed highly selective and sensitive to HSA.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMicroalbumin DetectionNanoparticlesSurface Plasmon ResonanceNanosensorArticle10.1080/09205063.2019.1600181308646661309203492-s2.0-85063972206Q2WOS:000467749600004Q2
