The microsystems consisted of an electrochemically micromachined silicon substrate, on which high-order vertical silicon/air one dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhCs) were integrated together with fluidic microchannels, bonded to a glass cover, the latter provided with inlet/outlet holes for liquid injection/extraction in/out the PhCs air gaps. An experimental characterization was performed by pumping different liquids (water, ethanol, isopropanol) through the opto-fluidic microsystem and by measuring the reflectivity spectrum in the wavelength range 1.0 – 1.7 µm (at normal incidence) with an inplane fiber optic setup. Experimental results, which well agreed with theoretical predictions, demonstrated the high sensitivity of the opto-fluidic microsystem in measuring small refractive index changes, which was estimated to be 1049 nm/RIU.","PeriodicalId":142421,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Workshop on Biophotonics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129369542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combining microfluidics and optical biosensors facilitates miniaturization and automation, while careful design makes it possible to test variable quantities of complex matrices such as food (mL) and clinical samples (µL). We report on progress towards an optofluidic system that combines a rotating magnet trap for automated sample processing and a microflow cytometer capable of 4-color analysis to achieve multi-analyte diagnostics. Sample and antibody-coated magnetic beads are introduced into a moving magnetic field created by magnets rotating in the opposite direction of the flow. The color-coded magnetic beads with captured target remain in suspension while fluorescent tracer reagents are introduced to the flow, thus optimizing the binding kinetics and minimizing aggregation. Magnetic beads with bound target and tracer reagents are released for multiplexed analysis by reversing the direction of spinning magnets.","PeriodicalId":142421,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Workshop on Biophotonics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122781479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore important that the optical properties of reference phantoms be measured in a manner that is traceable to the international system of units. SI traceability insures long term consistency of results and will therefore improve the effectiveness of diffuse optics research effort more effective by reducing unwanted variability in the data produced and shared by the community. The ultimate benefit of SI traceability is the reduction of variability in the data produced by novel diagnostic devices, which will in turn increase the statistical power of clinical trials aiming at validating their clinical usefulness.
