“New Strategies for Chemical Sensors”
Chemical sensors and biosensors are able to rapidly determine chemicals and biological agents. Examples of widely used sensors are the pH electrode, the glucose biosensor, and the Clark oxygen electrode. Although many sensors are commercially available, many more are needed. However, developing new sensors with the selectivity needed for measurements in real world samples is very difficult. Spectroelectrochemistry is a strategy for developing highly selective sensors without resorting to fragile biosensors. These novel sensors combine electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and selective partitioning into a film. The film is chosen to preconcentrate analyte from the sample solution into the measurement zone and to reject some sample components. An additional level of selectivity is provided by subjecting the preconcentrated analyte to electrolysis, which electrochemically modulates an optical signal. The modulated signal can then be distinguished from the constant signals of other components in the sample and used for quantification. Examples of sensors developed for the detection of inorganic and organic compounds in complex samples such as nuclear waste and biological fluids will be described.
