Singlet oxygen detection

Singlet Oxygen

Singlet oxygen (O2) is a higher energy state molecular oxygen species. It is one of the most active intermediates involved in chemical and biochemical reactions. To fully appreciate the reactivity of O2, it is necessary to understand its physical and chemical nature. This paper reviews the generation, quenching and detection of O2. Its properties, possible chemical reactions are presented as we...

Detection of Singlet Oxygen Formation inside Photoactive Biohybrid Composite Material

Photosynthetic reaction center proteins (RCs) are the most efficient light energy converter systems in nature. The first steps of the primary charge separation in photosynthesis take place in these proteins. Due to their unique properties, combining RCs with nano-structures promising applications can be predicted in optoelectronic systems. In the present work RCs purified from Rhodobacter sphae...

Optimal discrimination threshold for the detection of singlet oxygen luminescence

In this work, a near-infrared CCD-based singlet oxygen luminescence two-dimensional imaging method is proposed to detect singlet oxygen by its 1270nm luminescence. Two-dimensional singlet oxygen images with its near-infrared luminescence during photosensitization could be obtained with a CCD integration time of 1s, without scanning. The data presented shows a linear relationship between the sin...

Fiber-optic Singlet Oxygen

Traditionally, Type II heterogeneous photo-oxidations produce singlet oxygen via external irradiation of a sensitizer and external supply of ground-state oxygen. A potential improvement is reported here. A hollow-core fiber-optic device was developed with an ‘‘internal’’ supply of light and flowing oxygen, and a porous photosensitizer-end capped configuration. Singlet oxygen was delivered throu...
