[EN] Discovering nanoscale phenomena to sense biorecognition events introduces new perspectives to exploit nano science and nanotechnology for bioanalytical purposes. Here we present Bio Bragg Gratings (BBGs), a novel ...

[EN] Thrombin generation is a complex and finely regulated pathway that provokes dynamical changes of thrombin concentration in blood when a vascular injury occurs. In order to characterize the initiation phase of such ...

[ES] Los biosensores son dispositivos analíticos con aplicabilidad en diferentes campos y con numerosas ventajas frente a otros métodos analíticos convencionales, como son el uso de pequeños volúmenes de muestra y reactivos, ...

[EN] Microcontact printing (mu CP) is a practical and versatile approach to create nanostructured patterns of biomolecular probes, but it involves conformational changes on the patterned bioreceptors that often lead to a ...

[EN] Responsive hydrogel-based surface relief gratings have demonstrated great performances as transducers in optical sensing. However, novel and smart designs of hydrogels are needed for the appropriate detection of ...

[ES] Este proyecto se centra en la creación redes difractivas de proteínas y en su uso como transductores ópticos para el desarrollo de biosensores. Entre otras ventajas, este tipo de nanoestructuras simplifican el proceso ...

[EN] Due to the large quantities of pesticides extensively used and their impact on the environment and human health, a prompt and reliable sensing technique could constitute an excellent tool for in-situ monitoring. With ...

This thesis explores new analytical advances using compact disk biosensing technologies, and comprises six scientific publications distributed along four chapters. Special attention is herein payed to Thermochromic Etching ...
