Abstract

THz bioanalytical techniques are already proven as a viable tool for the label-free detection of biomolecules. But still, significant improvement of THz sensing techniques is needed to reach application relevant sensitivity levels. We present the label-free THz sensing of human tumor markers using a highly sensitive metamaterial based THz biosensor. High affinity binding of the specific protein to DNA is utilized for localized functionalization to further enhance the detection sensitivity.
