Plasmonic Sensor Improves Detection of Cancer Biomarkers CHAMPAIGN, Ill., June 23, 2017 — A novel plasmonic sensor has demonstrated the ability to detect the presence of the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to the magnitude of one nanogram per milliliter. This is a signi?cant improvement over current surface plasmon resonance systems, and a dynamic range that is clinically relevant for human CEA levels. The device combines two sensing methods to achieve a nanoplasmonic resonance sensor design that shows an interactive plasmonic–photonic resonance effect. A
