Waveguide absorption spectroscopy of bovine serum albumin in the mid-infrared fingerprint region
Waveguide absorption spectroscopy of bovine serum albumin in the mid-infrared fingerprint region
Protein sensing in biological fluids provides important information to diagnose many clinically relevant diseases. Mid-infrared (MIR) absorption spectroscopy of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is experimentally demonstrated on a germanium on silicon (GOS) waveguide in the 1900-1000 cm-1 (5.3-10.0 µm) region of the MIR. GOS waveguides were shown to guide light up to a wavelength of 12.9 µm. The waveguide absorption spectrum of water, showing molecular bending vibrations, was obtained experimentally and compared with a theoretical model showing good agreement. Measurement of a concentration series of BSA protein in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) from 0.1 mg/ml to 100mg/ml was performed on the waveguide using filter paper as a flow strip and the amide I, II and III peaks were observed and quantified.

Abstract
Protein sensing in biological fluids provides important information to diagnose many clinically relevant diseases. Mid-infrared (MIR) absorption spectroscopy of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is experimentally demonstrated on a germanium on silicon (GOS) waveguide in the 1900-1000 cm-1 (5.3-10.0 µm) region of the MIR. GOS waveguides were shown to guide light up to a wavelength of 12.9 µm. The waveguide absorption spectrum of water, showing molecular bending vibrations, was obtained experimentally and compared with a theoretical model showing good agreement. Measurement of a concentration series of BSA protein in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) from 0.1 mg/ml to 100mg/ml was performed on the waveguide using filter paper as a flow strip and the amide I, II and III peaks were observed and quantified.
