Abstract

Finding a method for label-free sensing of individual protein is considered the "Holy Grail" in the bio-sensing field. An ideal technology that could do this would be able to follow the sensing of biological antigen-antibody interactions in their native form and in real-time without interfering tags. The challenge is great, however the rewards are likely greater. To date the most sensitive photonic label-free transducer is a resonant biosensor in the form of a Ring Resonator or Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) resonator for which there have been a number of recent reviews [1, 2].
