Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The main objective of this project was to develop a biochemical sensing system based on silicon photonics and the corresponding biochemical assay techniques for the detection of selected proteins. The work was divided into three subprojects: • Optical biosensor system • Surface chemistry • Assay techniques One project partner mainly worked on APTES-silanized substrates and ATR crystals, which were modified with crosslinkers and peptides. Protocols developed in this activity were used for the SOI-based sensor systems surface functionalization. The development of the label-free bio sensor system comprises of the sensor itself, a TDM- like control for fast read-out and fixed-wavelength operation. The device is based on evanescent field sensing and ring resonators as sensing elements. A heating electrode is integrated to tune the device by using the thermo-optical effect of silicon. To enable multiparameter analysis, several ring resonators were coupled to a single bus waveguide. By applying a temporal modulation signal in a fix switching scheme to each ring it was demonstrated that a serial array of ring elements could be read-out simultaneously at a speed of 100 measurements / s for each ring. This measurement speed makes the kinetics of proteinligand interaction accessible. Furthermore, the fixed wavelength operation enables the realization of a cost effective sensor device with large potential for a handheld appliance. In focus of the assay technique development we figure out a list of peptides all recognizing an anti-GST IgG antibody but with different affinities spanning from middle/high nanomolar up to micromolar affinity. Furthermore, to pave the way for a practical usage of the label-free bio sensor system we engineer a microfluidic surface functionalization and sensing technique successfully.
