The urinary concentration level of bile acids is a useful indicator for the diagnosis of liver diseases. Here we present a sensor platform based on the anchoring transition of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) at the surfactant‐laden LC/aqueous interfaces for the detection of bile acids in urinary solution.
