The primary cause of death worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD), which has a
considerable mortality rate. It is essential to identify cardiac biomarkers and heartbeat …

Photonic crystals–optical devices able to respond to changes in the refractive index of a
small volume of space–are an emerging class of label-free chemical-and bio-sensors. This …

Photonic crystal surfaces that are designed to function as wavelength-selective optical
resonators have become a widely adopted platform for label-free biosensing, and for …

We review the development and application of nanostructured photonic crystal surfaces and
a hyperspectral reflectance imaging detection instrument which, when used together …

A Photonic Crystal (PC) surface fabricated upon a quartz substrate using nanoimprint
lithography has been demonstrated to enhance light emission from fluorescent molecules in …

An alternative to the well-established Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry, termed
discrete frequency infrared (DFIR) spectrometry, has recently been proposed. This approach …

Photonic crystal surfaces are demonstrated as a means for enhancing the detection
sensitivity and resolution for assays that use a fluorescent tag to quantify the concentration of …

The intrinsic physicochemical characteristics of nanocatalysts are highly dependent on the
route in which they have been fabricated. Indeed, not only the morphological structure but …

We report on the design and demonstration of an optical imaging system capable of exciting
surface-bound fluorophores within the resonant evanescent electric field of a photonic …

DNA microarrays are used to profile changes in gene expression between samples in a high-
throughput manner, but measurements of genes with low expression levels can be …
