Figure 4.
Experimental normalized red-shifts with the PhC sensors in buffer and 10% fetal bovine serum for VLP concentrations ranging from 5.8 to 0.7 nM. The normalized red-shifts were calculated by subtracting a control shift (no target) from each experimental concentration. The error bars represent the root-sum-of-squares of the standard deviations of the red-shifts for the target and control chips.
