Integrated Polymeric Light Emitter for Disposable Photonic Lab on Chip Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents the monolithic integration of a fluorophore-doped hybrid xerogel polymeric light emitter and a multiple internal reflection configuration (MIR) optofluidic system in a photonic lab on a chip (PhLoC). Two different air mirrors at both sides of the emitter were implemented that improves light coupling into the MIR system. The MIR inner walls were bio-functionalized with a peroxidase enzyme in order to develop a PhLoC analytical system for hydrogen peroxide model target analyte. Absorbance detection of the corresponding enzyme reaction was successfully carried out. The mean sensitivity and limit of detection were calculated to be 0.0119 A.U.μM and 0.73 μM for H2O2, respectively.

Development and integration of xerogel polymeric absorbance micro-filters into lab-on-chip systems.
This work reports on the implementation of different absorption micro-filters based on a dye-doped hybrid organic-inorganic xerogel polymeric material synthesized by the sol-gel process. Microstructures containing eight different filter widths were fabricated in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), bonded to glass substrates and filled with the corresponding dye doped polymeric material by a soft litho...
متن کاملNovelty low-cost integrated photonic biosensor using broadband source and on-chip spectral filter
Integrated label-free photonic biosensors provide an excellent limit of detection in combination with a low-cost disposable. Their application has thus far been limited by the necessity of an expensive tunable laser. In this article, we present a novel sensor, eliminating the tunable laser by combining a sensitive Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a broadband light source and an on-chip spectral...

متن کاملContinuous operation of a hybrid solid-liquid state reconfigurable photonic system without resupply of liquids.
Optofluidics offers a number of potentially transformative advantages for photonic systems. At present however there are a number of technological roadblocks that prevent the practical integration of liquid-state elements into traditional high-speed solid-state photonic systems. Two of the most important of these are the need for continuous resupply of liquids and the difficulty in shuttling li...
متن کاملOn-chip cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy using a white light-emitting diode and polymer mirrors.
We have developed a disposable microfluidic chip with integrated cavity mirrors comprised of two pieces of 3M Vikuiti™ enhanced specular reflector II (ESRII) film, for performing cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy with a white light-emitting diode (LED). Compared to measurements made with a chip without cavity mirrors, the absorption path length is enhanced by a maximum factor of 28 at 544...
