Abstract: A bio-sensing system comprises a light source, a bio-sensing apparatus, a detecting platform, and a processing unit. A bio-sensing apparatus further comprising a substrate, a sample with at least one analyte, at least one grating bound on the substrate for diffracting a light beam in a reflection mode and outputting at least one output light beam, a plurality of nanoparticles being bound on one side of the grating, a molecular recognition unit bound on said nanoparticle surface, and a cover plate covering the nanoparticle-modified side of the substrate. The detecting platform receives a signal while the at least one output light beam passing through the bio-sensing apparatus. The processing unit couples with the detecting platform for receiving and analyzing the signal.

Abstract: A method of test includes the steps of preparing a sensing platform having an emitting electrode mounted at on one side thereof and a receiving electrode mounted on the other side thereof, wherein the sensing platform defines a sensing zone located between the emitting and receiving electrodes; placing a specimen on the sensing zone; emitting a surface acoustic wave from the emitting electrode, wherein the surface acoustic wave passes through the sensing zone and the specimen and then is received by the receiving electrode to be changed for its speed and phase by the change of material property of the specimen; and identifying the material property of the specimen according to the changed speed and phase of the surface acoustic wave to further infer the physical property of the specimen. In light of the steps, the surface acoustic wave can be employed for detection of the physical property of the specimen.

Abstract: This invention discloses a sensing apparatus with noble metal and sensing system and its method. The sensing apparatus with noble metal comprises a planar waveguide, a noble metal nano-particle layer, and a cover. The planar waveguide has a top plane. The noble metal nano-particle layer is uniformly distributed on the top plane of the planar waveguide. The cover has a notch, and is covered on the top plane of the planar waveguide to form a space between the notch and the top plane. Accordingly, a plurality of incident lights are led into the sensing apparatus with noble metal nano-particle to detect a testing substance contained in the aforesaid space.
