PLASMONIC HAND-HELD BIOSENSORS FOR FIELD SETTINGS
In the conventional spectrometer-based read-out schemes that utilize refractive index sensing, the presence of biomolecules is measured by monitoring spectral shifts within the optical response of the plasmonic structures. These platforms can enable analyte sensing, i.e., viruses or bacteria, from biological media at clinically relevant concentrations with little to no sample preparation. Multiplexing and high-throughput capability of these biosensors can be improved via integrating large scale and highly dense plasmonic chips to imaging based platforms, i.e., CCD or CMOS cameras. These biosensors can be also portable to be employed in the resource-poor settings by integrating plasmonic chip technology with lensfree telemedicine technology. This handheld design can be integrated with portable read-out-devices, e.g., a laptop or a cell-phone, that enables detection of biomolecules with a multiplexed manner in any environment, lack of medical infrastructure. This system can also enable parallel detection of different biomolecules with ultra-thin layers as well as quantitative analyses of single-type biomolecules with large variety of concentrations. We also investigate fluidic systems integrated with plasmonic chip techno
