Herein, we report a novel concept of low-cost flexible platform for fluorescence-based biosensor. The surface of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) foil was exposed to KrF excimer laser through a photolitographic contact mask. Laser initiated surface modification resulted in micro-patterned areas with surface functional groups available for localized covalent immobilization of biotin. High affinity binding protein (albumin-binding domain (ABD) of protein G, Streptococcus G148) recognizing human serum albumin (HSA), genetically fused with streptavidin (SA-ABDwt), was immobilized on the micro-patterned surface through biotin-streptavidin coupling. Fluorescently labelled HSA analyte was detected in several blocking environments, in 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 6% fetal serum albumin (FBS), respectively. We conclude that the presented novel concept enabled us to micropattern functional biosensing layers on the surface of PEN foil in a fast and easy way. It brings all necessary aspects for continuous roll-to-roll fabrication of low-cost optical bioanalytical devices.
