HYBRID MICROFLUIDIC SPR AND MOLECULAR IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

A hybrid microfluidic biochip designed to perform multiplexed detection of singled- celled pathogens using a combination of SPR and epi-fluorescence imaging. The device comprises an array of gold spots, each functionalized with a capture biomolecule targeting a specific pathogen. This biosensor array is enclosed by a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic flow chamber that delivers a magnetically concentrated sample to be tested. The sample is imaged by surface plasmon resonance on the bottom of the biochip, and epi- fluorescence on the top.
