An enzyme-free terahertz uric acid sensor based on a metallic slot array metamaterial was proposed and realized both theoretically and experimentally. The sensing model was verified in simulation and femtosecond laser processing technology was employed to ablate slots in the copper plate to fabricate metamaterials. Analytes were tested with liquid phase deposition on the metamaterial by a terahertz frequency domain spectroscopy system. Gradient concentrations of uric acid, ascorbic acid, and a mixture of them were measured separately with a good linear response. A significant decrease in sensitivity was observed in the ascorbic acid assay compared with the uric acid assay. The test results of the mixture also proved that our device is resistant to ascorbic acid. It is a simple and effective method for monitoring uric acid concentrations and the strategy of eliminating interference while modulating the resonance peak location mentioned here can be rationally projected for the development of other sensors.
提出并在理论和实验上实现了一种基于金属缝隙阵列超材料的无酶太赫兹尿酸传感器。传感模型在模拟中得到验证,并采用飞秒激光加工技术在铜板上烧蚀缝隙以制造超材料。通过太赫兹频域光谱系统对超材料上液相沉积的分析物进行测试。分别测量了尿酸、抗坏血酸及其混合物的梯度浓度,具有良好的线性响应。与尿酸检测相比,抗坏血酸检测的灵敏度显著降低。混合物的测试结果也证明了我们的装置对抗坏血酸具有抗性。这是一种监测尿酸浓度的简单有效方法,这里提到的在调制共振峰位置时消除干扰的策略可合理地用于开发其他传感器。
