  1. 21. A lab-on-a-chip device for photonic sensing of single cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Johanna Malmström; [2017]
    Keywords : Microfluidics; Single cell trapping; Photonic; Sensing; Ring resonator; OSTE;

    Abstract : Cells are the smallest living units and together they form all living organisms on earth. The cells are not only the building blocks of all living things, they also possess the most important information about life. A deeper understanding of these units may reveal hidden secrets about difficultly cured diseases, memory and learning, among others. READ MORE

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a disease that leads to an unstable blood glucose concentration, with os-cillations and peaks higher than the normal range. It is a worldwide problem that is currently affecting 387 million people. READ MORE

  4. 23. Biofunctionalization of a Fiber Optics-Based LSPR Sensor

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Molekylär fysik

    Author : Karl Schenström; [2016]
    Keywords : Localized surface plasmon resonance; LSPR; nanoparticles; AuNP; AuNR; biosensor; refractive index; spectrophotometry; IgG; insulin; avidin;

    Abstract : When exposed to light, metal nanoparticles exhibit a phenomenon known as LSPR, Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance. The wavelengths at which LSPR occurs is very dependent on the refractive index of the surrounding medium. READ MORE
