Abstract:
... Nonlinear laser wave-mixing spectroscopy is demonstrated as a fast and sensitive detection method for heart-failure biomarkers, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (proANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Wave mixing is an ultrasensitive optical absorption-based method and analytes can be detected in their native form or labeled with fluorophore and chromophore labels. In this study, we utilized C ...
