报告摘要:
Sensors developed based on Guided-Mode Resonance (GMR) structure provide unique features that are suitable for detecting biological analytes. This seminar will discuss the GMR enhanced fluorescence assay that takes advantage of the strengthened evanescent field on GMR surface, where it interacts with the immobilized fluorescent biomaterials. The GMR enhancement capability significantly improves the reliability and sensitivity of antibody microarray and thus facilitates early-cancer diagnostics. This sensor has also been incorporated into the next generation genome sequencing tool to boost the detection speed. The second part of the seminar will focus on the surface emitting organic distributed feedback (DFB) laser biosensor, which was designed to improve the sensitive of the original GMR label-free biosensor. The DFB laser sensor generated its own high-intensity narrow bandwidth output and was demonstrated to be potentially useful in pharmaceutical screening for characterizing biomolecular interactions including protein-protein binding and antibody-cell binding.
