A prism-based surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE) imaging apparatus with a reverse Kretschmann (RK) configuration was developed and applied to dye-doped polymer films. Highly polarized, directional and enhanced fluorescence images were obtained. The angular distribution of the SPCE images was in accordance with the validated theoretical calculation performed using Fresnel equation. Prism-based SPCE imaging combined with microarray technology appears to be a promising platform for rapid and high-throughput analysis, especially for high-density arrays. We believe that prism-based SPCE imaging has potential applications in biochemical research.

Canine distemper, a viral disease with a global impact on various animals including dogs, foxes, wolves, lions, and leopards, requires early diagnosis for effective treatment and outbreak control. Common laboratory methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polymerase chain reaction, and viral isolation, face challenges such as extended turnaround times, high costs, and the expertise required. This study has developed a field-based biosensor for detecting the canine distemper virus (CDV), utilising a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and a computer-assisted portable potentiostat.

(1) Background: In the quest to accurately model the radiolysis of water in its supercritical state, a detailed understanding of water's molecular structure, particularly how water molecules are arranged in this unique state, is essential. (2) Methods: We conducted molecular dynamics simulations using the SPC/E water model to investigate the molecular structures of supercritical water (SCW) over a wide temperature range, extending up to 800 °C. (3) Results: Our results show that at a constant pressure of 25 MPa, the average intermolecular distance around a reference water molecule remains remarkably stable at ~2.

Here, screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) were modified with ultrafine and mainly mono-disperse sea urchin-like tungsten oxide (SUWO) nanostructures synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method for non-enzymatic detection of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA) in synthetic urine. Sea urchin-like nanostructures were clearly observed in scanning electron microscope images and WO composition was confirmed with XRD, Raman, FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Modification of SPCEs with SUWO nanostructures via the drop-casting method clearly reduced the R value of the electrodes, lowered the ∆Ep and enhanced the DA oxidation current due to high electrocatalytic activity.

Surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE), a novel surface-enhanced fluorescence technique, can generate directional and amplified radiation by the intense interaction between fluorophores and surface plasmons (SPs) of metallic nanofilms. For plasmon-based optical systems, the strong interaction between localized and propagating SPs and "hot spot" structures show great potential to significantly improve the electromagnetic (EM) field and modulate optical properties. Au nanobipyramids (NBPs) with two sharp apexes to enhance and restrict the EM field were introduced through electrostatic adsorption to achieve a mediated fluorescence system, and the emission signal enhancement was realized by factors over 60 compared with the normal SPCE.

Surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE), a novel signal enhancement technology generated by the interactions between surface plasmons and excited fluorophores in close vicinity to metallic film, has shown excellent performance in bioimaging. Variable-angle nanoplasmonic fluorescence microscopy (VANFM), based on an SPCE imaging system, can selectively modulate the imaging depth by controlling the excitation angles. In order to further improve the imaging performance, Au-Ag alloy nanoshuttles were introduced into an Au substrate to mediate the plasmonic properties.
