ABSTRACT

The goals and objectives of the Immunosensors Program at the University of Utah are to develop the science and engineering basis for optically based immunosensors. This includes the development of sensors for proteins and other antigens, the development of multi-channel sensors (including built-in calibration and reference channels), the development of sensors which are capable of remote on-line and continuous or semi-continuous function and the development of sensors which are biocompatible and stable. This chapter will serve as a 1989 progress report on these various goals and objectives.(1)
