Nanoplasmonic devices have become a paradigm for biomolecular detection enabled by enhanced light–matter interactions in the fields from biological and pharmaceutical research to medical diagnostics and global health. In this work, we present a bright-field imaging plasmonic biosensor that allows visualization of single subwavelength gold nanoparticles (NPs) on large-area gold nanohole arrays (Au-NHAs). The sensor generates image heatmaps that reveal the locations of single NPs as high-contrast spikes, enabling the detection of individual NP-labeled molecules. We implemented the proposed method in a sandwich immunoassay for the detection of biotinylated bovine serum albumin (bBSA) and human C-reactive protein (CRP), a clinical biomarker of acute inflammatory diseases. Our method can detect 10 pg/mL of bBSA and 27 pg/mL CRP in 2 h, which is at least 4 orders of magnitude lower than the clinically relevant concentrations. Our sensitive and rapid detection approach paired with the robust large-area plasmonic sensor chips, which are fabricated using scalable and low-cost manufacturing, provides a powerful platform for multiplexed biomarker detection in various settings.
