摘要 |
A biosensor platform for a biosensor adapted to detect one or more predetermined target analytes in a sample, includes a waveguide for transporting light emitted by a light source, at least one light source including an OLED, for incoupling light to the waveguide, the light source being arranged on the waveguide, a binding site including immobilized biorecognition material capable of binding to the target analytes, the binding site positioned relative to the waveguide such that evanescent field triggered by the light propagating in the waveguide extend to the binding site, a microfluidic layer including one or more microfluidic cavities for conveying the sample past the binding site to enable at least part of the target analytes of the sample to bind to the immobilized biorecognition material. The biosensor platform is configured to enable, when least part of the target analytes are bound to the immobilized biorecognition material, fluorescent markers associated with the bound target or other analytes to be excited by the evanescent field so as to emit fluorescence detectable by a detector.
