Abstract
This review explores the potential of optofluidic biosensing platforms, emphasizing their application in enhancing biosensing capabilities. This paper reports the various platforms, starting with surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based optofluidic biosensors, covering angular and spectral SPR biosensing, local SPR biosensing, and the sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) of both propagating and localized SPR, including multiplexing SPR biosensing techniques. This review further examines whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavity-based biosensors and photonic crystal-based optofluidic biosensors. A comprehensive overview of the fabrication techniques for optofluidic biosensors is provided, detailing strategies such as direct manufacturing and mold replication. Key components such as fluid control, light manipulation, and signal transduction are highlighted. The material choices for optofluidics are discussed, emphasizing their role in biosensing applications. This paper concludes by exploring optofluidic sensing applications, categorized into absorption-based, plasmonic-based, and scattering-based biosensing techniques. Recent advancements and future directions in the field are discussed, highlighting the integration of these technologies into portable, multiplexed platforms for broader application and ease of use in various scientific and practical fields.
