摘要: Detection apparatus for use in the detection of presence a selected pathogen sample are disclosed. Such includes: substrate with region on surface thereof, having microstructures including grooves formed therein that will align liquid crystal material contact therewith, width and depth being range 10 νm or less; blocking layer does not disrupt alignment nonspecific adsorption pathogens to surface; binding agent substrate, specifically pathogen.
