Abstract

Evanescent wave sensors are an interesting tool for the fast detection of reactions between biomolecules. By using small and inexpensive diode lasers together with fluorescent dyes in the red spectral region, it was possible to construct a highly specific sensor. This was due to the use of the immobilization of receptor molecules via the Langmuir-Blodgett technique which enhances the specificity drastically. As a clinically relevant system an immunoassay of the tumor marker mucine was investigated. Mucine could be detected with a sandwich test using the antibody system BM-2/BM-7. In order to detect several analytes at one time, there are two possible ways: time-resolved detection using multiplex-dyes and the parallelization of the sensor by using several fibers simultaneously. A position-resolved evanescent wave sensor using a CCD camera is described.
