Re: [DIYbio] Re: Ultra low cost SPR?

Those sound like some good ideas - would you evaporate gold on top of the etched plastic? 

We have already started building an SPR-like system that is quite affordable and has shown good performance so far. We are trying to see what level of interest there is in a product like that from a commercial point of view. So we are looking at academic researchers, DIY bio hackers, small biotech firms, etc. If you have a couple of minutes, filing out our research survey would be really helpful: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/openSPR

Hi Ryan.
I am interested in that.
I believe we could try and use microstructured, thin plastics on top of a low-cost prism. We etch plastics with low-cost lasers. Then recycle a printer stepper motor and program it. Finally I need to check but the sensor shouldn't be expensive either and interface it with a computer is cheap and easy.
We are going to try sometime this semester I think. I can let you know how it goes.
