In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, biosensor technology has ushered in unprecedented innovation. Among them, silicone-based biosensors, as a new frontier for precision detection, are gradually showing their great potential and broad application prospects.
Silicone-based biosensors combine the excellent performance of silicon materials with the high precision of biosensing technology to achieve rapid and accurate detection of biomarkers. Silicon materials are ideal for developing high-performance biosensors due to their high refractive index contrast, mature CMOS manufacturing process and good biocompatibility. By integrating photonic integrated circuits (PICs), silicon-based biosensors can achieve efficient optical signal conversion and processing at the micro-nano scale, thereby greatly improving the sensitivity and specificity of detection.
The working principle of silicone-based biosensors is mainly based on the interaction between light and matter. When light propagates in a silicon waveguide, it interacts with biomolecules in the surrounding environment, resulting in a change in the effective refractive index. By monitoring this change, the sensor can accurately detect the presence and concentration of target biomolecules in real time.
In the field of medical diagnosis, silicone-based biosensors have shown great application value. For example, they can be used for early screening and monitoring of diseases such as cancer and diabetes, and provide doctors with timely and accurate diagnosis by detecting specific biomarkers in body fluids. In addition, silicon-based biosensors can also be used in many fields such as food safety and environmental monitoring, providing strong protection for people's health and quality of life.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of applications, organosilicon-based biosensors are expected to become an important force in the field of precision detection in the future. Through continuous innovation and optimization, it is believed that they will play a greater role in more fields and bring more benefits to human health and life.
