Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1906108, Anna Fàbrega, Hatice Altug, and co‐workers present a portable optical biosensor based on nanoparticle‐enhanced digital plasmonic imaging to assist sepsis diagnosis, enabling rapid and sensitive detection of blood‐circulating disease biomarkers. The low‐cost device is tested with patient samples in a hospital and is shown to provide performance equivalent to gold‐standard laboratory tests.
