Christensen, Douglas A.; Herron, James N. | Comparison of robust coupling techniques for planar waveguide immunosensors | We have analyzed and fabricated two different coupling schemes to meet the requirements for a convenient means of coupling into a planar waveguide immunosensor that is relatively insensitive to beam alignment. These are the "launch" coupler and the grating coupler. Each possesses advantages and dis... | Planar waveguide immunosensors; Fluorescence; Launch coupler; Grating coupler | 1993 |

Christensen, Douglas A. | Planar waveguide biosensors for nucleic acid hybridization reactions | Oligonucleotide probes derived from (1) the T3 RNA polymerase promoter sequence (T3) and (2) prostate-specific antigen messenger RNA (PSA) were prepared and labeled with a red-emitting fluorescent dye (Cy5). The complimentary oligonucleotides (anti T3 and anti PSA) were prepared and labeled with bio... | Planar waveguides; Evanescence; Fluorescence; Glandular kallikrein; MDx; Molecular diagnostics; Nucleic acid; PSA; Oligonucleotide probes | 2000 |

Christensen, Douglas A.; Herron, James N. | Rapid clinical diagnostics assays using injection-molded planar waveguides | The goal of our research program is to develop an evanescent wave immunoassay system that can be used in point-of-care and critical care settings. Several key attributes are required to accomplish this goal: (i) the assay system should be at least as sensitive as present day immunoassays; (ii) assay... | Planar waveguides; Creatine phosphokinase MB (CK-MB); Cardiac troponin I (cTnl); Diagnostics; Evanescence; Fluorescence; Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) | 1998 |

Christensen, Douglas A.; Herron, James N. | Rapid single nucleotide polymorphism detection for personalized medicine applications using planar waveguide fluorescence sensors | Personalized medicine is an emerging field in which clinical diagnostics information about a patient's genotype or phenotype is used to optimize his/her pharmacotherapy. This article evaluates whether planar waveguide fluorescent sensors are suitable for determining such information from patient tes... | Personalized medicine; Planar waveguides; Fluorescence sensors; Evanescent excitation; Fluorescence; Hybridization; Molecular diagnostics; Peptide nucleic acid; Point of care; Single base extension; Single nucleotide polymorphism | 2006 |
