February 2024 - 54 articles

Cover Story: This paper details the development of a porous silicon (PSi) biosensor for indirectly detecting bacteria through lysis, using optical methods to monitor changes in the PSi membrane’s properties. It emphasizes the biosensor's design, characterization as well as theoretical and experimental approaches to optimize its detection capabilities. Theoretical models were used to simulate analyte diffusion and optimize optical properties, dictating the PSi biosensor’s design. Experimental validation was performed with Bacillus cereus, demonstrating the biosensor's effectiveness and the accuracy of the design and models used. View this paper
