A new optical pH sensor based on polysulfone (PSU) and polyaniline (PANI) was developed. A transparent and flexible PSU membrane was employed as a support. The electrically conductive and pH-responsive PANI was deposited onto the membrane surface by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization (COP). The absorption spectra of the PANI-coated PSU membranes exhibited sensitivity to pH changes in the...

Toxic chemicals are one of the major global issues due to their adverse effect to human health and biosystems. This present study demonstrated a CMOS image sensor based highly sensitive colorimetric sensing system for the detection various pH ranges (pH1 to 13). For the reaction, pH indicator blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and titanium (TiO2) nanoparticle; and developed the thin hydrogel ...

electrochemical aptamer-based sensors attract a lot of interest as useful methods because of their low cost, accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity. an electro-active redox molecule comprises the main part of the electrochemical-based sensors. ferrocene is one of the most popular redox molecule used in biosensor fabrication. but, instability of ferrocenium ion in strong nucleophilic reagents and...

A new dual-lumophore optical sensor combined with a robust RGB referencing method was developed for two-dimensional (2D) pH imaging in alkaline sediments and water. The pH sensor film consisted of a proton-permeable polymer (PVC) in which two dyes with different pH sensitivities and emission colors: (1) chloro phenyl imino propenyl aniline (CPIPA) and (2) the coumarin dye Macrolex(®) fluorescen...

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical value of pharyngeal pH monitoring for the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) by using a double-probe, triple-sensor catheter in patients with symptoms of LPR. DESIGN Prospective review of pH values recorded at the pharyngeal sensor, with the sensor placed in the proximal esophagus in patients with suspected LPR. SETTING Tertiary care university h...
