Label-free, single-molecule detection with optical microcavities.
Current single-molecule detection techniques require labeling the target molecule. We report a highly specific and sensitive optical sensor based on an ultrahigh quality (Q) factor (Q > 10(8)) whispering-gallery microcavity. The silica surface is functionalized to bind the target molecule; binding is detected by a resonant wavelength shift. Single-molecule detection is confirmed by observation ...
متن کاملLabel-free Single Molecule Detection Using Microtoroid Optical Resonators.
Detecting small concentrations of molecules down to the single molecule limit has impact on areas such as early detection of disease, and fundamental studies on the behavior of molecules. Single molecule detection techniques commonly utilize labels such as fluorescent tags or quantum dots, however, labels are not always available, increase cost and complexity, and can perturb the events being s...
متن کاملLabel-free free-solution nanoaperture optical tweezers for single molecule protein studies.
Nanoaperture optical tweezers are emerging as useful label-free, free-solution tools for the detection and identification of biological molecules and their interactions at the single molecule level. Nanoaperture optical tweezers provide a low-cost, scalable, straight-forward, high-speed and highly sensitive (SNR ∼ 33) platform to observe real-time dynamics and to quantify binding kinetics of pr...
متن کاملLabel-free detection of small-molecule-protein interactions by using nanowire nanosensors.
Development of miniaturized devices that enable rapid and direct analysis of the specific binding of small molecules to proteins could be of substantial importance to the discovery of and screening for new drug molecules. Here, we report highly sensitive and label-free direct electrical detection of small-molecule inhibitors of ATP binding to Abl by using silicon nanowire field-effect transisto...
متن کاملLabel-free biosensing by means of optical micro-ring resonator
Micro-ring resonators have been widely employed, in recent years, as wavelength filters, switches and frequency converters in optical communication circuits, but can also be successfully used as transducing elements in optical sensing and biosensing. Their operation is based on the optical coupling between a ring-shaped waveguide and one or more linear waveguides patterned on a planar surface, ...
