Metal mesh device sensor immobilized with a trimethoxysilane-containing glycopolymer for label-free detection of proteins and bacteria.

Biosensors for the detection of proteins and bacteria have been developed using glycopolymer-immobilized metal mesh devices. The trimethoxysilane-containing glycopolymer was immobilized onto a metal mesh device using the silane coupling reaction. The surface shape and transmittance properties of the original metal mesh device were maintained following the immobilization of the glycopolymer.
