Reflectometry is classified in comparison to the commercialized refractometric surface plasmon resonance. The advantages of direct optical detection depend on a sophisticated surface chemistry resulting negligible nonspecific binding and high loading with recognition sites at the biopolymer sensitive layer of the transducer. Elaborate details on instrumental realization and surface chemistry are discussed for optimum application of reflectometric interference spectroscopy (RIfS). A standard protocol for a binding inhibition assay is given. It overcomes principal problems of any direct optical detection technique.

Gliomas, a prevalent category of primary malignant brain tumors, pose formidable clinical challenges due to their invasive nature and limited treatment options. The current therapeutic landscape for gliomas is constrained by a "one-size-fits-all" paradigm, significantly restricting treatment efficacy. Despite the implementation of multimodal therapeutic strategies, survival rates remain disheartening.

A new method to transfer the standard addition procedure for concentration determination to immunoassays with non-linear calibration curves was developed. The new method was successfully applied to simulated data and benchmarked against a state-of-the-art algorithm, showing a significantly improved performance with improvement factors between 2 and 192. The logit function was used to transform the immunoassay signal response of test samples spiked with known analyte concentrations.

The extensive and improper use of antibiotics has led to a dramatic increase in the frequency of antibiotic resistance among human pathogens, complicating infectious disease treatments. In this work, a method for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is presented using microstructured silicon diffraction gratings integrated into prototype devices, which enhance bacteria-surface interactions and promote bacterial colonization. The silicon microstructures act also as optical sensors for monitoring bacterial growth upon exposure to antibiotics in a real-time and label-free manner via intensity-based phase-shift reflectometric interference spectroscopic measurements (iPRISM).

Interferometry-based, reflectometric, label-free biosensors have made significant progress in the analysis of molecular interactions after years of development. The design of interference substrates is a key research topic for these biosensors, and many studies have focused on porous films prepared by top-down methods such as porous silicon and anodic aluminum oxide. Lately, more research has been conducted on ordered porous layer interferometry (OPLI), which uses ordered porous colloidal crystal films as interference substrates.

Conventional cancer detection and treatment methodologies are based on surgical, chemical and radiational processes, which are expensive, time consuming and painful. Therefore, great interest has been directed toward developing sensitive, inexpensive and rapid techniques for early cancer detection. Optical biosensors have advantages in terms of high sensitivity and being label free with a compact size.
