Abstract

The field of bio-sensors, ranging from biomedical/clinical applications to environmental applications and food analyses, has attracted a great attention since the past two decades. In fact, in all of these fields, there is a growing demand for rapid responses, quality control, usable devices, low-cost analyses, etc. All these features could lead to an improved healthy life, ranging from a more reliable and controlled quality of food and environment to a faster and more specific diagnosis. The optical detection methods used in bio-sensors are based both on label-based or label-free techniques. This seminar will focus on new optical (label-free and label-based) bio-sensor studies developed at the Institute of Applied Phisics – CNR, Florence.
