Quantitative Detection of Proteins Using an Evanescent Based Fiber-Optic Biosensor

In recent years, there is a considerable increase in the research efforts in the field of fiber-optic biosensors. Because of their potential sensitivity, detection speed and adaptability to a wide variety of assay conditions, their use as a probe or as a sensing element is increasing in clinical, pharmaceutical, industrial and military applications. I will talk about design aspects of a fiber-optic probe and converting it into a highly sensitive and specific tool for rapid and cost-effective detection and quantification of proteins in serum/plasma samples.
