Abstract

Among the methods developed for protein sandwich assays, the strategies based on fluorescence, electrochemistry, and color change occupy the predominant portion. However, besides these three major types, there are some other techniques, such as use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), giant magnetoresistive (GMR), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), microcantilever, surface acoustic wave (SAW), and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), which also play a very important role in the development of the sandwich assay for protein detection. Through integrating different recognition molecules, such as antibodies and aptamers, with conventional or new immerging sensing platforms, these assays exhibit excellent comparable sensitivities and specificities and attract extensive attention. Thus, in this chapter, some recent advances in these fields are summarized and concluding remarks on parts of which should be improved as well as outlook are outlined.
