Fast and Sensitive Ellipsometry-Based Biosensing

Fast and Sensitive Ellipsometry-Based Biosensing

In this work, a biosensing method based on in situ, fast, and sensitive measurements of ellipsometric parameters (Ψ, ∆) is proposed. Bare silicon wafer substrate is functionalized and used to bind biomolecules in the solution. Coupled with a 45° dual-drive symmetric photoelastic modulator-based ellipsometry, the parameters Ψ and ∆ of biolayer arising due to biomolecular interactions are determi...

Ellipsometry study on gold-nanoparticle-coated gold thin film for biosensing application

The amplified plasmonic response from various distributions of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated on top of gold thin film was studied via ellipsometry under total internal reflection mode. The surface plasmon resonance dip can be tuned from the visible to near infrared by simply varying the AuNP concentration. Theoretical modeling based on effective medium theory with a multi-slice model has be...

Fast and Sensitive Determination of Acetic Anhydride in the Air Using Hollow Fiber Method

This study aimed to introduce a new method based on Hollow Fiber in order to determination of acetic anhydride (AA) in the air. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide (1:1), were used as extraction solvent. This method was studied in the laboratory under various conditions. In order to make different concentrations of AA in the air, a standard glass chamber was used. The optimization ...

Nanomaterials in fluorescence-based biosensing.

Fluorescence-based detection is the most common method utilized in biosensing because of its high sensitivity, simplicity, and diversity. In the era of nanotechnology, nanomaterials are starting to replace traditional organic dyes as detection labels because they offer superior optical properties, such as brighter fluorescence, wider selections of excitation and emission wavelengths, higher pho...
