Detection of Phosphorylated STAT3 Protein by Fiber-Based Sensor Fluorescence Generated at Surface Exciting Laser Cladding Core Fluorophore labeled Phospho-STAT3 antibodies. Fluorescence coupled into fiber. Phospho-STAT3 Phospho-STAT3 antibodies (IgG) STAT - Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription protein
Surface Plasmon Sensors Kretschmann (ATR) geometry used to excite surface plasmons
Surface plasmon resonance curves. The left-hand side curve is for just the silver film (labeled Ag); the right-hand side shows the curve (labeled Ag/p-4-BCMU) shifted on the deposition of a monolayer Langmuir-Blodgett film of poly-4-BCMU on the silver film
Photonic Crystal Sensors Close packing of colloidal nanospheres to form a photonic crystal of close-packed colloidal array. (Left) Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) image of the surface layer. (Right) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of a cross-section (Markowicz and Prasad; unpublished).
Visible extinction spectra showing how diffraction depends on the glucose concentration for a 125µm-thick PCCA glucose sensor. The ordinate is given as –log T, where T is the transmittance. The PCCA expands for concentrations between 0.1 and 0.5 mM glucose.
