Highly sensitive detection of morphine (MO) in ppb range was realized
by using an immunosensor based on surfaceplasmon-resonance (SPR) pheno
mena. The addition of MO into the antibody solution was found to reduc
e the incident angle shift of the SPR sensor system sharply because of
the inhibition effect of MO. Based on this inhibiting principle, the
present sensor could detect MO very sensitively in the concentration r
ange of 0.1 - 10 ng/cm(3) (ppb).
