Feature of Gold chip
A 17- mm2 glass plate in which one side is covered with very thin gold particle, by which the incident and reflection light gives a real time response is called “Gold chip for handy SPR”. This gold surface is covered with a transparent sheet containing suitable flow channel. The transparent sheet has three layers- the middle is elastic type and the other sides are covered with transparent layer.
