Abstract

A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor was utilized to detect the interaction of cardiovascular disease markers, troponin I and C-reactive protein. Each marker with its respective antibodies was adsorbed to an indium nanoparticle (InNP)-coated glass substrate. Dielectric layers of antigens and antibodies bound onto and interacted on conducting InNPs. Normal room light passed through these protein-layer-bound substrates and hit the CMOS image sensor surface, and the number of photons was detected and converted into digital form. We tested this approach for real-time monitoring of cardiac disease markers based on photon count, demonstrating its low cost and its capacity to detect antigens with high sensitivity at picogram per milliliter concentration.
