Measuring biomolecular binding events with a compact disc player device. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2005 Dec 23;45(2):270-3. Note: This paper describes a simple, low-cost technique using CDs that may provide a high-resolution imaging capability for complex immunoassays. Former PI FS Ligler and JS Erickson descibe the potential of this approach in a News and Views article in Nature (PMID 16525456): "The combination of . fluidic approaches with in situ signal generation as demonstrated by Lange et al. could potentially lead to a sea change in medical diagnostics. Imagine in the future buying a 'respiratory pathogen CD' from the local pharmacy when you catch a cold, inserting your self-test swab and placing it in your portable player to find out whether you should take antibiotics or stick to the chicken soup."
