The aim of the SEMOFS project is to carry out research at the frontier of knowledge for thedevelopment of a next generation ofbiosensor: a polymer-based card typeintegrated solution of ”Plasmonics enhanced SPR”-sensor.

This will be achieved thanks to the combination of innovative concepts of plasmonics, integrated optics (light source, detection ) and micro-fluidics, and will be a real significant breakthrough since it will be totally integrated on a polymer-based chip.

This new biosensor concept will go far beyond the existing technology platforms and will provide increased sensitivity and diagnosis possibilities, cost effectiveness, and disposability, which is required to enable the emergence of new healthcare models.
