Abstract :
This paper reports a reversible microfludic biosensor based on liquid crystal (LC) orientation transition. The biosensor was fabricated using poly(dimethylsiloxance) (PDMS) and glass. Dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) was used to trigger the orientational transition that was easily observed optically.
