<i>Rosa hybrida </i>shrub plant named ‘AUSegdon’

Abstract

An optical biomodule for detecting a disease specific biomarker(s), utilizing enhanced fluorescence emission (due to integration of a three-dimensional (3-D) protruded structure(s)) in a fluidic container/zero-mode waveguide, upon chemical binding of a disease specific biomarker(s) with its corresponding disease specific biomarker binder(s) is disclosed. The three-dimensional (3-D) protruded structure(s) can be coupled with a photonic crystal and/or a metamaterial and/or a metamaterial of Epsilon-Near-Zero (ENZ) of a suitable wavelength range. Furthermore, the enhanced fluorescence emission can be modulated by a synthetic Cas13 protein coupled with a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and a quenched fluorescent reporter. Alternatively, a suitable synthetic substitute of a synthetic Cas13 protein coupled with a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) containing variable targeting sequence can also be utilized.
