Abstract

Disruption in initially planar alignment of lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) molecules was caused by the presence of immobilized bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules. Optical detection of light leakage under a polarizing optical microscope was carried out at different concentrations of BSA. The limit of detection of BSA utilizing the LLC DSCG reached to 10−12 g/ml.
