SPR sensors offer several advantages, making them highly valuable in nanotechnology:
1. Label-Free Detection: Unlike many other techniques, SPR does not require any fluorescent or radioactive labels, preserving the native state of the molecules being studied. 2. Real-Time Monitoring: SPR provides real-time data, allowing for the analysis of kinetic processes and binding dynamics. 3. High Sensitivity: Capable of detecting changes in the refractive index as small as 10^-6, making it suitable for detecting very low concentrations of analytes. 4. Versatility: Applicable to a wide range of molecular interactions in various fields, including biology, chemistry, and material science.
