Label-free detection of cytokines using optical microcavities
Abstract
Ultra-high-Q microresonators have demonstrated sensitive and specific chemical and biological detection. The sensitivity is derived from the long photon lifetime inside the cavity and specificity is achieved through surface functionalization. Here, ultra-high-Q microcavities demonstrate label-free, single molecule detection of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) in fetal bovine serum (FBS). IL-2 is a cytokine released in response to immune system activation. The surface of the microtoroids was sensitized using anti-IL-2. The detection mechanism relies upon a thermo-optic mechanism to enhance resonant wavelength shifts induced through binding of a molecule.
