Evanescent wave sensor containing nanostructures and methods of using the same

摘要

The invention provides an evanescent wave sensor containing a porous nanostructure layer. In general, a subject sensor contains a transparent substrate and a porous nanostructure layer bound to a surface of the substrate. Also provided by the invention are methods of using the subject sensors, e.g., in analyte detection, as well as kits and systems that include the subject sensors.
