This paper demonstrates the first single optical fibre tip probe for concurrent detection of both hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) concentration and pH of a solution. The sensor is constructed by embedding two fluorophores: carboxyperoxyfluor-1 (CPF1) and seminaphtharhodafluor-2 (SNARF2) within a polymer matrix located on the tip of the optical fibre. The functionalised fibre probe reproducibly measures pH, and is able to accurately detect H₂O₂ over a biologically relevant concentration range. This sensor offers potential for non-invasive detection of pH and H₂O₂ in biological environments using a single optical fibre.
本文展示了首个用于同时检测过氧化氢(H₂O₂)浓度和溶液pH值的单光纤尖端探针。该传感器通过将两种荧光团:羧基过氧氟-1(CPF1)和半萘罗丹氟-2(SNARF2)嵌入位于光纤尖端的聚合物基质中构建而成。功能化光纤探针可重复测量pH值,并能够在生物学相关浓度范围内准确检测H₂O₂。这种传感器为使用单根光纤在生物环境中无创检测pH值和H₂O₂提供了可能性。
