  • Title: Evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors.
    Author: Taitt CR, Anderson GP, Ligler FS.
    Journal: Biosens Bioelectron; 2005 Jun 15; 20(12):2470-87. PubMed ID: 15854820.
    Abstract:
    Since discovery and first use in the mid-1970s, evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors have developed into a diverse range of instruments, each designed to meet a particular detection need. In this review, we provide a brief synopsis of what evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors are, how they work, and how they are used. In addition, we have summarized the important patents that have impacted the evolution from laboratory curiosities to fully automated commercial products. Finally, we address the critical issues that evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors will face in the coming years.
