A new optical sensor based on covalent immobilization of a newly synthesized calcium-selective, long-wavelength, fluorescent indicator has been constructed, with a response dynamic range optimal for physiological measurements. Immobilization occurs via photoinitiated copolymerization of the indicator with acrylamide on the distal end of a silanized 125 μm diameter multimode optical fiber. The working lifetime of this sensor is limited only by photobleaching of the indicator. Due to the inherent hydrophilic nature of the acrylamide polymer, the response time of this new sensor is governed by simple aqueous diffusion of the ionic calcium. This results in sensor response times fast enough to monitor some concentration fluctuations at physiological rates. The ability to monitor calcium concentration fluctuations in a high background level of magnesium is also demonstrated with a calculated selectivity of 10-4.5.
一种新型光学传感器是基于共价固定新合成的钙选择性长波长荧光指示剂而构建的,其响应动态范围最适合生理测量。在直径为 125 μm 的硅烷化多模光纤远端,指示剂与丙烯酰胺通过光引发共聚发生固定。这种传感器的工作寿命仅受指示剂光漂白的限制。由于丙烯酰胺聚合物固有的亲水性,这种新型传感器的响应时间受离子钙的简单水扩散控制。这使得传感器的响应时间足够快,可以监测到一些生理速率的浓度波动。在镁的高背景水平下监测钙浓度波动的能力也得到了证实,计算出的选择性为 10-4.5。
