Case Study
PLASMONIC MICROARRAYS FOR NEURODEGENERATIVE RESEARCH WITH SCI FLEXARRAYER S3
The Challenge
Quantifying protein structural changes in drug screening.
EPFL researchers set out to create a labelfree method to study how drugs affect protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases. Conventional fluorescence and ThT assays could not reliably detect early aggregation states or mixed structural forms of αsynuclein, limiting insight into drug efficacy. The team needed a platform that combined highthroughput screening with nanoscale structural precision.
The Solution
Automated nanoliter spotting for plasmonic IR microarrays
Using the sciFLEXARRAYER S3, droplets of protein drug samples were printed into 48, 96, and 384 well plasmonic sensor chips. Each microwell contained gold nanorod arrays optimized for surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA). The S3’s piezo driven, noncontact dispensing and fiducial control produced highly uniform ~450 pL spots without contamination, vital for infrared precision.
The Outcome
Accelerating label-free biomarker screening in neuroscience.
Published in Advanced Science (2025), the work showed that these
plasmonic microarrays quantify
protein secondary structures in
real-time from as little as 2 nL per
well, with sensitivity down to 100
pg/mL. The arrays offered a new
quantitative tool for screening
neurodegenerative disease therapeutics with unmatched speed and
resolution.
