The proposed technology employed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to enhance the sensitivity to achieve PCT rapid detection. The fabricated sensors comprise of suspended glass planar waveguides on glass substratesare integrated with microfluidic channels without vacuum-less processes. The results show good performance with a LOD of 0.871 fg/ml for PCT detection modified. The fabricated sensors show very promising results with a high throughput, enabling mass production for rapidsensitive bio-detectionalso fulfils POCT requirements.

Our team has developed technology to build lung-on-a-chip with the aim of creating alternatives for animal researchachieving more accuratereliable preclinical experimental data.The chip＇s rapideffective screening ability will help the clinical community to reduce costsdrastically shorten the drug-development process.
