Composite Films for Modifying Evanescent Wave Characteristics in Long-Period Grating Biosensors

Biosensors are detection devices that couple biological recognition elements to physiochemical transducers to generate quantifiable signals. Immunosensors are biosensors that use antibodies as the recognition element. The highly specific nature of antibody-antigen binding is exploited to create im...
