In order to perform microfluidic detection of cytokines with low concentration, such as growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), the most common method is to construct microfluidic channels and integrate them with SPR sensing units. In this paper, we proposed a novel all-fiber SPR microfluidic chip for GDF11 detection. The method was to construct the SPR sensing area on a designed D-shaped multimode fiber, which was nested inside a quartz tube to form a semi-cylindrical microfluidic channel. The surface of the SPR sensing area experienced sensitization and specifically modification to achieve the specific detection of GDF11. When the sensitivity of detection was 1.38 nm/lg(g/mL) and the limit of detection was 0.52 pg/mL, the sample consumption was only 0.4 µL for a single detection. The novel all-fiber SPR microfluidic detection chip has the advantages of flexible design, compact structure and low sample consumption, which is expected to be used in wearable biosensing devices for real-time online monitoring of trace cytokines in vivo.

To further reduce the size of a microfluidic detection chip and the sample consumption and to shorten the chip manufacturing cycle, an all-fiber SPR detection multichannel microfluidic chip was proposed and demonstrated in this paper. The microfluidic channel of the proposed chip was provided by the air channel of a double side-hole fiber, the detection unit was fabricated using a dumbbell fiber with a fiber core exposed to air, and the sensing probe was composed and packaged by fiber micro-processing technology. The internal double channels of the fiber constructed from double side-hole and dumbbell fibers can realize dual channel detection based on space division multiplexing.

Chiral analysis of amino acids (AAs) is of great importance in medical science due to the distinctive effect of AA isomers on human health. Although various chiral recognition techniques have been developed, the quantitative chiral recognition of low-level AA isomers remains challenging. Here, we combined the fiber optic SPR with an enzyme-substrate recognition mechanism to construct a direct-assay-type chiral AA biosensor.

A dynamic chemical liquid phase deposition method was adopted to fabricate a set of proposed sensors with different silver layer thicknesses. A stable fully spiced all-fiber sensing system was established to evaluate the performance of the fabricated sensors.

The proposed fiber consists of two circular cores, inner cladding, outer cladding, and a large central air hole. The two cores are arranged symmetrically in inner cladding and couple weakly with the air hole.
