- the definition of a biomarker for a given disease is a complex process that involves several disciplines such as proteomics, genomics and pathophysiology, in addition to tests until it is accepted and adopted as a parameter for the diagnosis of a given disease.
- Troponin is defined as the biomarker with the highest specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction with cardiac injury.
- Troponin is a complex of three units: troponin I, T and C, located on the actin filament together with tropomyosin, being responsible for the calcium-mediated regulation of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction. It can also be found in unbound in the cytosolic pool of myocytes.

- the present invention is composed of an optical measurement device of the surface plasmon resonance effect by angular modulation in a biosensor that receives a static sample of the substance to be analyzed.
- the surface plasmon resonance effect is understood as the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons, which in turn are defined as electromagnetic waves propagated at the interface between a metallic material and a material dielectric, or more generally, a material of negative permittivity and a material of positive permittivity.
- the excitation can be performed by means of photons or electrons, the former being chosen for the present invention.
- the incidence of a beam of light on the metal-dielectric interface, at a specific angle (4.2) above the condition of total internal reflection, generates the resonance of electrons in the direction parallel to the interface.
- the field generated by the excitation is an evanescent field (4.1 ), penetrating the dielectric medium with exponential decay intensity.
- the penetration (4.4) of the evanescent field, as well as the resonance angle, is dependent on the materials applied at the interface, the thickness of the metal, the wavelength of the light beam, among other factors.
- the use of the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon for biosensors is based on the alteration of the refractive index of the dielectric medium by the presence of biomarkers or pathogens immobilized by antibodies in the penetration range of the evanescent field, thus generating a modulation measurable angle using the mechanisms and methods described.
- the biosensor (1.6) is composed of a plate of material with a known refractive index, with gold nanofilm or another material of similar permittivity (1.5).
- the biosensor has one or more parts of its face functionalized (1.2) with ligands (1 .4) and antibodies (1 .3) able to be attached to the surface and perform the antigen-antibody binding of the biomarker of interest.
- the biosensor also has one or more non-functionalized parts of its face (1.7), which serves as a basis for the differential measurement, measuring only the bulk density of the sample (1.1) without antigen-antibody reaction.
- the plate of material with known refractive index has the function of coupling the photons in the surface plasmon polaritons matching their vectors and moments. This element is necessary because free photons do not have the same scattering factor as surface plasmon polaritons at certain frequencies, thus having their moments misaligned.
- the plate material can be BK-7 glass, SF11 glass or other material with a known refractive index (4.5).
- the plate thickness must also be known, and the angle of incidence must be compensated for according to the thickness and refractive index. The use of different materials can influence the resonance angle, sensitivity and specificity of the system.
- the nanofilm (1.5) of gold, or other material of similar permittivity has the function of a material of negative permittivity at the metal-dielectric interface, taking possible the presence of surface plasmons.
- the material must have the real part of its negative dielectric constant and of magnitude greater than that of the dielectric, being possible to use gold, silver, aluminum, copper, among others.
- the conductive material, together with the wavelength, can influence the resonance angle, specificity and sensitivity of the system.
- the functionalized parts (1.2) with linkers (1.4) may or may not have a covalently bonded carboxymethyl dextran hydrogel layer, a polyethylene glycol monolayer, a thiol monolayer, or other component with the function of increasing the surface association capacity by covering the metallic film uniformly, enabling immobilization with strong bonds between the surface and the ligands and antibodies necessary to capture the biomarkers or pathogens present in the substance.
- the layer In order for the surface plasmon resonance effect to be effectively applied, the layer must be uniform and of a known refractive index, with a thickness such that, together with the ligands, antibodies and target molecules, it does not exceed the penetration depth (4.4) of the surface.
- the ligands (1 .4) are defined as a functionalization layer containing proteins, enzymes and antibodies able to be bound to the surface and to carry out the antigen-antibody binding of the biomarker or pathogen of interest is understood as the immobilization of agents capable of capturing the molecule of interest on the surface of the biosensor within the penetration region (4.4) of the evanescent field (4.1).
- Functionalization can be done through the activation of carboxylic groups of the antibody and deposition on the sensor with a thiourea monolayer, with the antibodies (1.3) binding through the amines present in the thiourea.
- Another possible configuration is the use of a carboxymethyl dextran layer in a covalently bonded hydrogel functionalized with streptavidin and biotinylated antibodies.
- the antibody can be an anti-troponin of the analyzed isoform or the antibody of the biomarker or pathogen to be analyzed, or even a protein to identify the immunological response existing in the sample.
- the sample of the substance to be analyzed is deposited on the surface of the biosensor and remains static, without the need for micro fluidic circulation.
- the sample passes through one or more chambers (2.2) where the sample can be mixed with reagents of different functions, such as anticoagulant, buffering agent (buffer), markers for sandwich methodology, among others.
- reagents of different functions such as anticoagulant, buffering agent (buffer), markers for sandwich methodology, among others.
- anticoagulant reagents such as heparin, lithium heparin and EDTA has the function of keeping the viscosity low when the substance to be analyzed is blood or plasma, consequently promoting good molecular diffusion, thus accelerating the antigen-antibody association.
- the buffering agent has the function of controlling the pH of the solution through chemical bonds, preventing unwanted reactions.
- the sandwich methodology can be applied in the present invention to increase the sensitivity and specificity of the test, having gold nanoparticles or other material diluted in a neutral solution and bound to antibodies specific for binding to epitopes of a particular region of the biomarker molecule or pathogen to be analyzed.
- the binding of these nanoparticles with the analyte increases its density, thus increasing the magnitude of the change in the shrinkage index when the analyte is captured on the surface of the biosensor.
- binding with gold nanoparticles or other materials generates an additional resonance by LSPR.
- the presence of reagents in the chamber may or may not exist as a result of the specific application of the present invention.
- the prism (6.10) is defined as a component with the function of coupling the photons with the surface plasmon polaritons matching their vectors and moments.
- the prism must have a known refractive index similar to that of the biosensor, which is necessary because free photons do not have the same scattering factor as surface plasmon polaritons at certain frequencies, thus having their moments misaligned.
- the use of different vitreous materials can influence the resonance angle, sensitivity and specificity of the system.
- the emitter (6.6 and 6.7) is understood to be responsible for generating a laser beam of wavelength suitable for application as a light-emitting diode or lamp capable of emitting a beam of light of length wavelength defined and suitable for the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons at the metal-dielectric interface, this wavelength being commonly in the visible or near infrared spectrum, with a length of 850nm, but being able to use other spectra according to the conductive material used.
- the emitted light is collimated with an exit angle small enough so that there is no undesired detection of the beam in receiving elements to which it is not directed, this angle being commonly in the order of magnitude of 1 o to 6 o , but may be different according to the positioning of the emitters and receivers.
- the emitted light has known polarization so that when it reaches the metal-dielectric interface, its vector and momentum are aligned with that of the surface plasmon polaritons.
