An integrated optic biosensor for detecting foodborne pathogens is described. The sensor is based on a planar waveguide operating in an interferometric mode. The device functions by detecting the direct binding of an antigen molecule to a functionalized waveguide surface. It is capable of detecting biomolecules at subnanogram/milliliter concentrations and has been used to detect proteins specific to Salmonella.
