esult in a big SPR signal change with a low optical loss. To<br />

evaluate the practicability of the use of Fe3O4 MNPs in<br />

enhancing the SPR signal for biosensing, a novel SPR sensor<br />

based on ICIA for the detection of adenosine is constructed<br />

using Fe3O4 MNP-antiadenosine aptamer conjugates as the<br />

amplification reagents. The experimental results demonstrate<br />

that the SPR sensor possesses a good sensitivity and a high<br />

selectivity for adenosine. Importantly, by changing the kind<br />

of biomolecules labeled by MNPs, the present detection<br />

method will be able to explore new applications of SPR<br />

spectroscopy for the detection of a large variety of MNPbased<br />

separation products. At the same time, the technique<br />

demonstrated in this work could also offer a new direction<br />

in designing high performance SPR biosensors for sensitive<br />

and selective detection of small molecules by the amplification<br />

effect of MNPs.<br />
