Abstract

Whispering gallery mode resonators (WGMR), as silica microspheres, have been recently proposed as an efficient tool for the realisation of optical biosensors. In this work we present a functionalization procedure based on the DNA-aptamer sequence immobilization on WGMR, able to recognize specifically thrombin or VEGF protein, preserving a high Q factor. The protein binding was numerically modelled and optically characterized in terms of specificity in buffer solution or in 10% diluted human serum. The aptasensor was also chemically regenerated and tested again, demonstrating the reusability of our system.
