Design of a Fiber Optic Biosensor for Cholesterol Detection in Human Blood

Biophotonic sensor for the detection of creatinine concentration in blood serum based on 1D photonic crystal

“…Therefore, the considered PC technology is adequate to sense the complexity of structures of biological molecules as well as overcome the high manufacturing cost of sensors. [26][27][28][29] Furthermore, PC-based biosensors are widely used as a diagnostic tool for assessing kidney dysfunction by measuring creatinine concentration, 30 glucose [31][32][33] and cholesterol 34 in body uids. There are many types of biosensors that convert signals from biological systems to electrochemical, optical, electrical or magnetic signals.…”

A Brief Overview of Medical Fiber Optic Biosensors and Techniques in the Modification for Enhanced Sensing Ability

“…To test this sensor, several blood serum samples were measured using a light spectrometer to determine the specific wavelength that correlated with each standard concentration of cholesterol. The adjusted sensing area of the cable interacts with the blood serum directly [10]. Biconical, nonadiabatic tapered optical fiber design has been innovated for use in cell protein and DNA based biosensors.…”

Biophotonic sensor design using a 1D defective annular photonic crystal for the detection of creatinine concentration in blood serum

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20] These biosensors are remarkably attractive to the biomedical and biochemical elds due to their tremendous sensing and detecting capabilities. [21][22][23][24] PCbased biosensors have been widely designed and fabricated for the detection of temperature, hydrostatic pressure, acoustic waves, and magnetic elds. 25,26 In addition to conventional planar 1D PCs, annular photonic crystals (APCs) have attracted much attention in recent years due to the outstanding results from theoretical ndings and the improved fabrication techniques.…”
