Label-free Detection and Quantification of Real-time Dna Amplification Using One-dimensional Photonic Crystal
نویسندگان
چکیده
We could achieve label-free detection and quantification of real-time DNA amplification using a one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal embedded in microchannels. Our method could be applicable to ultra-highly sensitive detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) and tubercle bacillus (TB) from 1 zmol to 1 amol. The limit of detection (LOD) of TB sequence in our system was around 500 ymol.

متن کاملA detection instrument for enhanced-fluorescence and label-free imaging on photonic crystal surfaces.
We report on the design and demonstration of an optical imaging system capable of exciting surface-bound fluorophores within the resonant evanescent electric field of a photonic crystal surface and gathering fluorescence emission that is directed toward the imaging objective by the photonic crystal. The system also has the ability to quantify shifts in the local resonance angle induced by the a...
متن کاملQuantification and Optimization of Candida albicans DNA in Blood Samples Using Real- Time PCR
Background: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a major cause of candidaemia in people with impaired immunity. Blood culture is a “gold standard” for candidaemia detection but is time-consuming and relatively insensitive. We established a real-time PCR assay for C. albicans detection in blood by LightCycler PCR and melting curve analysis. Methods: Five milliliter blood samples from...
متن کاملCombined enhanced fluorescence and label-free biomolecular detection with a photonic crystal surface.
A 2D photonic crystal surface with a different period in each lateral direction is demonstrated to detect biomolecules using two distinct sensing modalities. The sensing mechanisms both rely on the generation of a resonant reflection peak at one of two specific wavelengths, depending on the polarization of light that is incident on the photonic crystal. One polarization results in a resonant re...

A label-free optical biosensor based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal microring resonator with enhanced light-matter interaction is demonstrated. More than a 2-fold improvement in volumetric and surface sensing sensitivity is achieved compared to conventional microring sensors. The experimental bulk detection sensitivity is ~248nm/RIU and label-free detection of DNA and proteins is reporte...
