Optical biosensors: where next and how soon?
نویسنده
چکیده
From a direct comparison of the technical benefits of labelled reporter assays with the benefits of label-free assays, label-free appears to have significant advantages. Faster assay development times; accurate, high information content data; and less interference from labels. However, optical label-free platforms have not yet made a major impact in the drug discovery technology markets; are often viewed as having poor throughput, limited application; and are difficult to learn and use effectively.

Label-free optical biosensors are particularly interesting because of their ability to tightly confine light while avoiding complications often associated with label dependent detection. However, many traditional optical biosensors often store the majority of their optical energy in the waveguide core, leaving only the evanescent field to interact with biomolecules. In this work we develop nano...
