Abstract
Water absorption of mid-infrared (MIR) radiation severely limits the options for vibrational spectroscopy of the analytes – including live biological cells – that must be probed in aqueous environments. I will describe a live cell biosensing platform based on metallic nanoantennas fabricated atop elevated dielectric pillars. When cells are cultured on such metasurfaces integrated with standard bottomless microwells, inverted MIR microscopy can be carried out in reflection mode. Results of hyperspectral real-time imaging of live cells during their attachment, spreading, and chemically-induced apoptosis will be presented. Applications to label-free high-content drug screening will be discussed.
