In this work we present a dual optical and electrochemical sensor based on SiO2/Si3N4 resonant nanopillars covered with an indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film. A 25–30 nm thick ITO layer deposited by magnetron sputtering acts as electrode when incorporated onto the nanostructured array, without compromising sensing capability of nanopillars. Bulk performances before after deposition have been meas...

A total of 138 serum samples submitted for toxoplasma serology have been examined by enzyme immunoassay using kits produced by Labsystems Oy for the detection of specific antibodies of the IgG and IgM class. Results were compared with the dye test, an indirect haemagglutination test, and an indirect immunofluorescence test for specific IgM. The enzyme immunoassay was less sensitive than the dye...

Nanoporous gold (np-Au), because of its high surface area-to-volume ratio, excellent conductivity, chemical inertness, physical stability, biocompatibility, easily tunable pores, and plasmonic properties, has attracted much interested in the field of nanotechnology. It has promising applications in the fields of catalysis, bio/chemical sensing, drug delivery, biomolecules separation and purific...
