Back-scattering interferometry (BSI) is a universal sensing platform with ultrahigh sensitivity (zeptomole) and picoliter detection volumes. It has a simple optical train, consisting of a coherent source, microfluidic chip and detector. This overview presentation will teach how BSI works and show it is a tool that can be widely used across scientific disciplines. For example it will be shown that a unique multi-pass configuration allows BSI to transduce minute changes in the refractive index of a solution into equilibrium binding constants over a range of at least six orders of magnitude,[1,2] without any labeling and in free-solution. Quantification at the level of femtomolar concentrations in complex milieu will be demonstrated, as will the quantification of binding affinity for antibody-antigen,[2] protein-ion, protein-protein, and aptamer-protein-aptamer interactions.[3] Respiratory virus RNA detection investigations will illustrate that BSI measures conformational changes and can be a quite sensitive detector.[4] Then, DNA hybridization determinations and sugar-lectin binding studies[5] will illustrate that BSI is not limited by mass sensitivity as with other ‘bio’-sensors, and lends insights into multivalent interactions, while quantifying the influence of labels and/or surface immobilization. Next, direct quantification of binding affinities for membrane-associated protein drug targets in native bilayer environments[6] will show BSI has allowed characterization molecular mechanism studies[7] and the quantification of allosteric binding in CXCR-4.[8] Finally, work on hydrogen bonding studies in non-aqueous media[8] will show more general applicability of BSI, while investigations toward near-patient diagnostics and biomarker validation provides evidence it is a quantitative sensor with significant advantages in biomarker validation.
