  • Analysis centered on the role of antibody binding sites and surface area.

    • Main Results:

    • High surface areas in porous media systems can be detrimental to sensor performance.
    • Excessive free antibody binding sites, generated during the wash step, were identified as a key issue.
    • The simulations suggest a negative correlation between high surface area and optimal sensor function.

    Conclusions:

    • Wash protocols are critical for optimizing the sensitivity of flow displacement sensors.
    • Minimizing free antibody sites during baseline establishment is essential for improved performance.
    • Sensor design should consider the trade-offs associated with high surface area porous media.
