25. A biosensor comprising:
-
(a) a one-dimensional grating surface structure comprised of a material having a low refractive index;
(b) a high refractive index material layer that is applied on top of the low refractive index one-dimensional grating layer; and
(c) one or more specific binding substances immobilized on a surface of the high refractive index layer opposite of the one-dimensional grating surface structure comprised of a material having a low refractive index;
wherein the one or more specific binding substances are bound to their binding partners and wherein one or more specific binding substances and their binding partners are detection label-free,wherein, when the biosensor is illuminated a resonant grating effect is produced on a reflected radiation spectrum, and wherein cross-section of the one-dimensional grating is less than the wavelength of the resonant grating effect. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38)
