A compact and inexpensive fiber-optic evanescent wave immunosensor is presented which uses a diode laser as excitation source both in continuous wave measurements as well as in time-resolved experiments. The continuous wave laser operates at 657 nm utilizing a commercially available dye-conjugated p

A rapid, sensitive, analytical method for the detection of Clostridium botulinum toxin has been developed. The fiber optic-based biosensor utilizes the evanescent wave of a tapered optical fiber for signal discrimination. A 50 mW argon-ion laser, which generates laser light at 514 nm, is used in con
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Circulating tumor cells have been shown to correlate positively with metastatic disease state in patients with advanced cancer. We have demonstrated the ability to detect melanoma cells in a flow system by generating and detecting photoacoustic waves in mela
