A fluorescent coagulation assay for thrombin using a fibre optic evanescent wave sensor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fibre optic evanescent wave sensor is used for the rapid detection of thrombin. Coagulation of solution phase fluorescently labelled fibrinogen to unlabelled fibrinogen bound to the surface of the fibre optic is observed in real time by the evanescent wave sensor. Thrombin concentrations down to 0.01 NIHml(-1) are detectable within 5 min. The potential application of this technique for rapid amplified immunosensing is discussed.

Evanescent Wave Fibre Optic Sensors: Theory
This chapter gives a theoretical picturization of the evanescent field at the core-cladding interface of dielectric waveguides and deals with the theoretical modelling ofevanescent wave based fibre optic sensors. We also discuss some crucial parameters which are very much essential in the design of a variety of intensity modulated evanescent wave fibre optic sensors.
متن کاملA fibre optic evanescent wave sensor for monitoring the rate of pulsed laser deposition of metal thin films
A novel sensing technique for the in situ monitoring of the rate of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of metal thin films has been developed. This optical fibre based sensor works on the principle of the evanescent wave penetration of waveguide modes into the uncladded portion of a multimode fibre. The utility of this optical fibre sensor is demonstrated in the case of PLD of silver thin films obta...
متن کاملFibre-fluorescence immunosensor based on evanescent wave detection
A fibre-optic sensor capable of detecting an immune reaction between fluorescently labelled antigens and antibodies bound at the waveguide surface is described. In a configuration where skew rays were detected, a signal level was found that made detection of a concentration of 10e9 M antigen possible.

متن کاملChemical detection in liquid media with a refractometric sensor based on a multimode optical fibre
In this paper the physical basis for the design of an optical fibre sensor suited for aqueous medium and gas phase based on the excitation of an evanescent wave at the core/cladding interface is developed. The detection based on the refractive index changes (between 1.41 and 1.45) of the infinite dielectric medium which can be an electrolyte or a sol-gel polymer deposited on the uncladed part o...
متن کاملDetection of Fuel Adulteration in Real Time Using Optical Fiber Sensor and Peripheral Interface Controller
Detection of fuel adulteration in real time is the most important need of the world as it generates the hazardous effects on the environment, living and nonliving things. Various automotive users and fuel providers may mix kerosene in petrol and diesel. Adulterated fuel increases air pollution, as well as reduces the performance of vehicle engines. Such a malpractice in fuel is prevailing becau...
