MULTI-TARGET PHOTONIC BIOSENSOR, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AND PREPARING SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a component or device for detecting or measuring one or more predetermined types of biological or chemical target materials in parallel. Said component includes a group of nanotubes selected and/or functionalized to interact with the target material around an optical wave guide. Thus, optical coupling is made between the optical wave guide and one or more optical characteristics of said nanotubes, the modifications of which are assessed in the presence of the target material. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing and preparing such a component or device, to a detection method utilizing same, and to a post-manufacture preparation method including a specific functionalization for different target materials on the basis of a single type of generic pluripotent component. The invention also relates to a family of PFO functionalization polymers.
