Abstract

Non-labeled biomolecules Quasi-continuous wave Thermal lens microscope Ultraviolet pulse laser Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) Bioengineering
This paper describes the development of an ultraviolet thermal lens microscope (UVTLM) that can detect directly non-labeled biomolecules in microchips. The performance of the UV-TLM was evaluated by the limit of detection (LOD) using standard solution of adenine. The LOD for adenine was calculated to be 1.4×10 M. This sensitivity was 100 times higher than that obtained by conventional spectrophotometry. Copyright © 2005 by the Transducer Research Foundation, Inc.
