Description:

This technology is an optical biosensor for detecting small amounts of chemical or biochemical agents in a biological medium.

This interferometer combines high sensitivity with high portability, making it ideal for applications where mobility is important. Potential applications for this device include label-free bio sensing, actuation, and control. 

A provisional patent application has been filed for this technology.

The Market :

The worldwide market for biosensors was $6.72 billion in 2009, growing at an annual rate of over 11% until 2016, where it is estimated to reach $14.42 billion. [1] Applications for biosensors are growing, increasing demand and revenues for these technologies. [2] There is also a push in the market for miniaturized biosensor devices in order to integrate them into portable systems. [3]

The Opportunity:

Lehigh is interested in licensing this technology.
