Optimization of Dengue Immunoassay by Label-Free Interferometric Optical Detection Method

In this communication we report a direct immunoassay for detecting dengue virus by means of a label-free interferometric optical detection method. We also demonstrate how we can optimize this sensing response by adding a blocking step able to significantly enhance the optical sensing response. The b...
