ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic based chemical sensor detects chemical species in solution. A fluorogenic indicator is forced through an ultrafiltration membrane into an analyte solution. Complex formation between indicator molecules and target ions occurs at the membrane-solution interface where light from a bifurcated fiber optic cable stimulates fluorescence. Fluorescent emission from a sample is transmitted back up the fiber optic cable to a linear photo diode detector. The sensor responds linearly to increasing and decreasing concentration changes on time scales of one second. Chemical modification of an indicator solution enhanced sensitivity.
