Abstract: Provided are a target biomaterial detecting kit and a method of detecting the target biomaterial. The target biomaterial detecting kit includes a guided mode resonance filter comprising a substrate transmitting or reflecting light, a grating layer formed on the substrate, and a capture layer formed on the grating layer to capture a target biomaterial; and a nano complex comprising a nanoparticle head and a connection tail. Therefore, the wavelength peak of a reflection/transmission spectrum of light coming from the guided mode resonance filter can be largely shifted, and thus the presence and quantity of a target biomaterial can be easily detected. Moreover, although the amount of the target biomaterial is small, the target biomaterial can be reliably detected.

The silicon biosensor includes: a light emitting layer emitting light according to injected electrons and holes and changing a wavelength of the light depending on whether a biomaterial is absorbed by the light emitting layer; an electron injection layer injecting the electrons into the light emitting layer; and a hole injection layer injecting the holes into the light emitting layer. Accordingly, it is possible to produce low price biosensors in large quantities.

The apparatus for fixing a plastic sheet includes: a pair of planar metal guide rings interposingly fixing a plastic sheet from above and below, respectively; and a sheet fixing chuck including: a ring fixer sucking the pair of planar metal guide rings through a vacuum groove to be fixed thereto; and a sheet fixer having a plurality of vacuum pin holes formed therein, the vacuum pin holes sucking a bottom of the plastic sheet fixed by the planar metal guide rings. The apparatus allows fabrication of the nano pattern on the plastic sheet having less roughness than that of a semiconductor substrate or a glass substrate.

Abstract: There is provided a portable measuring system having a biophotonic sensor. The portable measuring system also includes a tunable light source, an output intensity detector and an output wavelength detector, which are mounted therein. The portable measuring system can precisely measure a variation in the reflectivity spectrum and/or the transmittance spectrum of the biophotonic sensor before and after an antigen-antibody reaction by varying the wavelength of the tunable light source. Thus, the concentration of the antigen is precisely measured.

The method for immobilizing a bio-material may be useful to easily immobilize bio-materials such as proteins, DNA, RNA and enzymes on surfaces of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles using the chemical reaction, and significantly improve sensitivity of a resonant reflection biosensor by determining the antigen-antibody reaction in the resonant reflection biosensor using the immobilized secondary antien.

Thus, a limit of a transmission rate caused by Rayleigh scattering of an optical fiber can be overcome.
