Accurate measurement of Amyloid-β biomarkers in blood serum has been highly sought after for early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, non-specific binding and low levels of Amyloid-β in blood pose a problem for traditional immunoassays. Here, we propose a lipid-functionalized biosensor for real-time, label-free detection of Amyloid-β by interaction with whispering gallery modes (WGM) of a microtoroid optical resonator. Non-specific binding is reduced by uniform surface coverage of the lipid, and protein-lipid interactions enhance the shift in resonance frequency. The lipid surface functionalization scheme enables increased accuracy and sensitivity of Amyloid-β and potential for blood-based screening of AD.
