A fiber-optic biosensor was developed for detection of cocaine, its metabolites, and other coca alkaloids, using a monoclonal antibody ( \(\mathrm{mAb})\) against a derivatized benzoylecgonine (BE). The mAb was immobilized noncovalently on quartz fibers and a flow fluorometer was used to detect chan

Deficiency of protein C (PC), one of the human body's key anticoagulants, can lead to massive thrombotic complications. There is a diagnostic need to perform real-time assays, in order to quickly identify and treat this disease. An immuno-optical biosensor for the diagnosing of PC deficiencies and m
A method for quantifying the concentration of an enzymatic substrate has been demonstrated that is based on competition between two substrates for the active site of an enzyme. This was accomplished by fling the concentration of a substrate whose reaction can be monitored optically, and observing th
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
