The presented invention
belongs to the overlap between terahertz technology and biotechnology fields
which specially involves the metamaterial label-free biosensor with non-bianisotropy high-order Fano resonant multi-frequency point

The development of
terahertz technology has attracted worldwide attention and become one of the
most important core technologies in the new century. Many countries have listed

unique electric field response, terahertz technology is widely used in public
security, communication, biomedical field and so on. At present, the methods of
detecting cell concentration mainly include labeled fluorescence detection and
labeled flow cytometry. These methods are of high sensitivity in practical
applications, yet their detection cost is very high and most of them are used
in conjunction with other chemicals, causing pollutions at a certain degree.
For example, the detection sensitivity of CCK-8 method is high, but it comes at
a high cost too. In addition, the light red color of CCK-8 reagent is similar
to the color of culture medium, which might easily produce incorrect operations
such as a shortage or extra addition in the experiment. Another method is flow
cell technology, which can quantitatively detect and analyze a single cell by
using flow cytometer. It combines a series of techniques, such as monoclonal
antibody and immunocy to chemistry, laser and
computer science, etc., which bears the advantages of fast detection speed and
high sensitivity, yet is unable to solve the problems of labeling, high cost,
time-consuming and so on. At present, no cell detection scheme with low cost
and label-free is available.

-6 Pa; immerse the wafer in acetone solution
after evaporating the metal layer, peel off and remove the metal evaporated on
the reverse photoresist and the reverse photoresist and clean it with
isopropanol and deionized water.
After the cleaning,
peel off the silicon substrate and the sensor is obtained as shown in Fig.4.

In the test, the
terahertz beam is incident from the metal layer of the multi-frequency point
resonance biosensor and emitted from the dielectric layer;
The shift refers to the
difference of resonances in frequency range of the multi-frequency point
resonance biosensor of both with and without inoculating cells;
3) Based on the
deviation in step 2), plot the terahertz transmission spectrum curve along with
the changes of cell concentration;

different concentrations of cells were cultured on multi-frequency point
resonance biosensor. The vaccination is cultured on a metal layer of the
sensor.
The purpose of the
vaccination is to make the cells adhere to the wall and facilitate detection.
In particular, the vaccination method is optimized as follows: digest the cells
from the petridish with trypsin; then blow the cells
with the medium to form a single cell suspension; after sterilizing the sensor,
place the sensor at the bottom of the culture plate and inoculate the single
cell suspension in the culture plate, culture the cells growth in 37°C, 5~10% carbon dioxide cell incubators to the cell wall.
After the cell adheres to the wall, the biosensor is preferably dried before
the cell concentration is tested.
After the cells of
different concentrations adheres to the wall, the resonance frequency shifts of
the transmission lines along the x direction and the y direction are tested by
terahertz time domain spectroscopy device. The terahertz time-domain spectral
device is preferably a terahertz time-domain spectral tester. In an embodiment
of the present invention, in particular, a terahertz time domain spectrometer
of the ADVANTEST TAS7500SU model is preferably used, with a spectrum range of
0.5~7THz, with a resolution of 7.6 GHz. In the test, the terahertz beam is
incident from the metal layer of the multi-frequency point resonance biosensor
and emitted from the dielectric layer. The resonance frequency shift of
transmission line refers to the difference between the resonance frequencies
measured by the multi-frequency point resonance biosensor inoculated with the
cell relative to the resonance frequency measured by the multi-frequency point
resonance biosensor without inoculated cells. In the invention, the electric
field extend along the x direction to test the resonance frequency shift of the
polarized quadrupolar Fano; the octupolar Fano resonance frequency shift and
the hexadecapolar Fano resonance frequency shift; the electric field extends

a novel terahertz [m1] anisotropic high order mode Fano resonant
multi-frequency point resonant metamaterial. 2) Use terahertz time domain
spectroscopy tester to test adherent cells cultured at different

terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to test the metamaterial curve without
cultured cells. Fig.7 and Fig.8 mainly illustrate the design of a
superstructure material biosensor without cell terahertz time domain spectral
curve. When the electric field of the terahertz wave is incident in the x
direction, quadrupolar, octupolar, and hexadecapolar resonances occur. When the
electric field of the terahertz wave is incident in the y direction, quadrupolar
and octupolar resonances occur. The shift of the sensor is mainly the analysis
of the shift of these resonant frequencies. Cultivate different concentrations
of lung cancer cells on the surface of the metamaterial, and test the curves
terahertz time domain spectroscopy. By comparing the terahertz time domain
curve of each concentration of lung cancer cell metamaterial with that of
metamaterial terahertz time domain curve without cancer cells, the resonance
point is shifted. The beam is first incident from the metal layer of the
metamaterial and then emitted from the dielectric layer for detection. Finally,
the concentration detection curve of A549 lung cancer cells is plotted, as
shown in Fig.9 and Fig.10.
3) Inoculate A549
lung cancer cells with concentrations of 0.1×10

5cell/ml,
3×10
5cell/ml and 5×10
5cell/ml multi-frequency point resonance
biosensor under the condition of 37℃
constant temperature and 10% carbon dioxide concentration. After 24 hours’ cultivation, remove from the medium and remove the
surface moisture with filter paper. Then detect the shift in resonance
frequency of the biosensor compared with the cell-free one by terahertz
time-domain spectrometer after drying up. Fig.9 and Fig.10 illustrate the
transmission lines of cultured A549 lung cancer cells measured by terahertz
time domain spectroscopy in dry nitrogen environment at room temperature,
indoor humidity is less than 4%. Wherein, Fig.9 illustrates the shift in the
resonance frequency of the electric field tested by the source sensor of the
invention along the concentration of different A549 lung cancer cells in the x
direction; that is, different cancer cell concentrations frequency shift in
quadrupolar resonance the (Q), octupolar resonance (O), hexadecapolar resonance
(H) when the electric field direction of the terahertz wave is incident in the
x direction.
Fig.10 is a diagram

biosensor under different concentrations of A549 lung cancer cells in the y
direction; that is, the shift of different cancer cell concentration frequency
in the quadrupolar resonances and octupolar resonances when the electric field
direction of the terahertz wave is incident in the y direction.
As seen in Fig.9 and
Fig. 10, compared to cell-free metamaterial, the 6 different cell
concentrations under 6 different cancer cell concentrations are respectively:
0.1×10
5cell/mL,
5cell/mL,
0.5×10
5cell/mL, 1×10
5cell/mL, 3×10
5cell/mL
and 5×10
5cell/mL.
The quadrupolar Fano resonant frequency shift of the electric field in the x
direction are 22.6GHz 28.87GHz, 97.5GHz, 15.8GHz, 28.2GHz, and 67.4GHz
respectively. The octupolar Fano resonance frequency shift is 6GHz, 50.9GHz,
63.3GHz, 108.87GHz, 108.5GHz and 120.2GHz respectively; the hexadecapolar Fano
resonance frequency shift are 3.56GHz, 59.2GHz, 81.66GHz, 90.03GHz, 97.1GHz and
117.56GHz respectively. The quadrupolar Fano resonant frequency shift of the
electric field in the y direction under the same conditions are 0GHz, 49.7GHz,
45.3GHz, 126.27GHz, 36.7GHz, and8.75GHz respectively. The resonance frequency shift
of the octupolar Fano are -0.5GHz, 48.23GHz, 60.1GHz, 107.43GHz, 17.23GHz and
32.56GHz respectively.
The samples were
detected by terahertz time domain spectra.
By calculating the
test results of simulating the samples with different refractive index
parameters, the theoretical sensitivity of the terahertz high-order Fano
resonance biosensor of the present invention attains 1000 GHz/RIU. The
biosensor provided by the invention is designed and produced at a flexible
high-molecular material substrate, and the biosensor provided with the
terahertz high-order mode Fano resonance metamaterial. It can be used for pure
electric field response, high sensitivity and label-free detection of multiple
resonances, and can be widely applied to the field of terahertz cell sensing
and identification.
The existing method
for detecting cell concentrations needs to consume fluorescent labeled
antibody; the cost of each test is as high as 2000RMB. The high detection cost
exerts economic pressure to the patient. Besides, the usual test takes about 2
hours, and consumes more quantity of the sample, in addition that the materials
used are disposable and cannot be recycled. Compared with the existing
detection method, the invention not only has higher sensitivity, but also
greatly reduces the cost and greatly reduces the test time.

invention. It should be considered as the scope of protection of the present
