N2 - A Photonic Crystal surface fabricated upon a quartz substrate using nanoimprint lithography has been demonstrated with a signal enhancement factor as high as 7500× for the detection of LD-700 dye spin-coated upon the PC. The detection of spotted Alexa-647 labeled polypeptide on the PC exhibits a 330× SNR improvement. Using dose-response characterization of deposited fluorophore-tagged protein spots, the PCEF surface demonstrated a 140× lower limit of detection compared to a conventional glass substrate.
