@article { , title = {A fiber optic biosensor for the detection of cholesterol levels based on chitosan coated long period grating.}, abstract = {A fiber optic sensor for the measurement of total cholesterol is designed and developed. The developed chitosan coated long period grating (LPG) sensor shows a sensitivity of 5.025×106 pm·mL/g in the measurement range of the sensor. The sensor also shows a linear response in the measured range of cholesterol levels, which is highly desirable for exploitation as a commercial cholesterol sensor.}, doi = {10.1007/s11801-016-5229-9}, eissn = {1993-5013}, issn = {1673-1905}, issue = {1}, journal = {Optoelectronics letters}, note = {COMPLETED -- Rec'd doc 30/11/2017 LM -- Chased 30/11/2017 LM -- Info via WoS alert 13/10/2017 LM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Prabhu, Radhakrishna -- Panel B}, pages = {23-26}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Springer}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/2613}, volume = {12}, keyword = {Fibre optic, Cholesterol, Cardiovascular diseases}, year = {2016}, author = {Mathews, C.
