Algal fluorescence sensor integrated into a microfluidic chip for water pollutant detection
Abstract
We report the first miniaturized fluorescent sensor based on algae, with an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and an organic photodetector (OPD) integrated into a microfluidic chip. The blue emission OLED was used as the excitation source, while a blend of PTB3/PC61BM was used for the fabrication of the organic photodetector. Excitation and emission color filters based on acid/base
