We demonstrate label-free detection of low glucose concentration based on whispery gallery mode resonance in an optofluidic microcapillary (OFMC) biosensor. The wall surface of the OFMC is bio-chemically functionalized to detect cellular-level glucose concentration as low as 2.78 mM. The measured sensitivity is 0.966 pm/mM. The fabricated microcapillary has a thin wall thickness of 2 μm and a Q factor of 1.3 × 10, corresponding to a bulk refractive index sensitivity of 23.36 nm/RIU. The OFMC biosensor has advantages such as high resistance to environmental perturbation, small sample volume down to 90 nL and cost-effectiveness. Theoretical analysis shows the sensor sensitivity depends on the microcapillary wall thickness and liquid core refractive index.
我们展示了基于光流体微毛细管(OFMC)生物传感器中低语回廊模式共振的低葡萄糖浓度无标记检测。OFMC的壁表面经过生物化学功能化处理,以检测低至2.78 mM的细胞水平葡萄糖浓度。测量的灵敏度为0.966 pm/mM。制造的微毛细管壁厚为2μm,品质因数为1.3×10,对应的体折射率灵敏度为23.36 nm/RIU。OFMC生物传感器具有抗环境干扰能力强、样品体积小至90 nL以及成本效益高等优点。理论分析表明,传感器灵敏度取决于微毛细管壁厚和液芯折射率。
