Here, we describe a method for progesterone detection and measurement in whole blood samples by a surface sensitive biosensor used in conjunction with an integrated optical grating coupler. This device determines refractive index changes near the biosensor's surface. Hence, biological species bound to a surface layer can be measured in real-time without any label. For the measurements, we have modified the indirect competitive immonoassay principle. The concentration of the progesterone antibody was kept at 1 µg/ml. Progesterone concentration was determined in buffer solution and whole blood in a range between 0.005 and 10 ng/ml. The detection limit was determined to be 3 pM. The relative standard deviation was calculated to be 3.5\%.}, language = {en} } @article{SchellerBier2004, author = {Scheller, Frieder W. and Bier, Frank Fabian}, title = {Analytical Biochemistry (Editorial)}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{SteffenvonNickischRosenegkBier2005, author = {Steffen, Jenny and von Nickisch-Rosenegk, Markus and Bier, Frank Fabian}, title = {In vitro transcription of a whole gene on a surface-coupled template}, issn = {1473-0189}, year = {2005}, abstract = {An artificial gene was constructed combining the T7 promoter and terminator with the EGFP-gene from the plasmid pEGFP.

Microarrays, also called DNA chips, are widely used in gene expression, the genotyping of individuals, point mutations, detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms, and short tandem repeats. Microarrays have highly specific base-pair interactions with labeled complementary strands, which makes this technology to a powerful analytical device for monitoring whole genomes. In this article, we provide a survey of the common microarray manufacturing methods, from the selection of support material to surface structuring, immobilization and hybridization, and finally the detection with labeled complementary strands. Special attention is given to the immobilization of single strands, since fast chemical reactions, the creation of homogeneous surface functionalities as well as an oriented coupling are crucial pre-conditions for a good spot morphology and microarrays of high quality}, language = {en} }
