Defect-engineered photonic crystal (PC) microcavities were fabricated by UV photolithography and their corresponding sensitivities to biomarkers in patient plasma samples were compared for different resonant microcavity characteristics of quality factor Q and biomarker fill fraction. Three different biomarkers in plasma from pancreatic cancer patients were experimentally detected by conventional L13 defect-engineered microcavities without nanoholes and higher sensitivity L13 PC microcavities with nanoholes. 8.8 femto-molar (0.334 pg/mL) concentration of pancreatic cancer biomarker in patient plasma samples was experimentally detected which are 50 times dilution than ELISA in a PC microcavity with high quality factor and high analyte fill fraction.
通过紫外光刻制造了缺陷工程光子晶体(PC)微腔,并针对品质因数Q和生物标志物填充率的不同谐振微腔特性,比较了它们对患者血浆样本中生物标志物的相应灵敏度。通过传统的无纳米孔的L13缺陷工程微腔和具有纳米孔的更高灵敏度的L13 PC微腔,对胰腺癌患者血浆中的三种不同生物标志物进行了实验检测。在具有高品质因数和高分析物填充率的PC微腔中,实验检测到患者血浆样本中胰腺癌生物标志物的浓度为8.8飞摩尔(0.334 pg/mL),这比酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)稀释了50倍。
