Abstract

This article presents a review of various recent developments over plasmonic optical sensors for in vivo and in vitro detection. This study also highlights the relative study over detection of various biochemical, cells, bacteria, and viruses, i.e., application of plasmon-enhanced optical sensing in in vivo and in vitro detection. A brief overview of the current biosensing devices, plasmonic-based sensors, their types, comparative study over in vivo and in vitro detection, wearable sensors, packaging of optic-plasmonic sensors, and colloidal nanostructures (NSs) is reported in this study. Plasmonic optical sensors nowadays are employed in a plethora of applications ranging from environmental monitoring to bio (chemical) sensing. In brief, these sensors are applicable for biomedical diagnosis, drug discovery & therapies, material analysis & shaping, (bio) chemical sensing, and environmental monitoring. Plasmonics is a promising field of technology that examines the interaction between light and metallic NSs at the metal–dielectric interface. The commonly employed plasmonic-based methods such as surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) and localized SPR (LSPR), comparative study over the recently reported sensors are well discussed in this review work. This comprehensive study on the extent of biosensor innovation and the respective challenges would open new avenues for exploring the use of plasmonic optical sensors for commercial applications. Overall, we review the major pros and cons of plasmonic-based biosensing with a brief outlook on its advancement and applicability.
