Detection of Myoglobin with an Open-Cavity-Based Label-Free Photonic Crystal Biosensor

Figure 1

Schematic of experimental setup. A broadband white light source is coupled with an objective lens (1) into a single mode fiber (2). S-polarized light from a polarizer (3) goes through a beam splitter (4) and is directed via mirrors (5, 6) to a prism (7), which allows coupling the light into the sensor (8) at a 64° angle. Microfluidic channels attached to the sensor carry the sample solutions with controlled flow rates by a syringe pump (9). The reflected light from the sensor is detected by a high resolution spectrometer (10).
