The invention discloses an optical detection sensor for
microcystin. The optical detection sensor comprises a
linear polarization light source, a 45-degree / 45-degree / 90-degree
glass prism, a sensing
chip and a
spectrum analyzer and is characterized in that a
silicon circulation tank is arranged on the sensing
chip; the sensing
chip comprises a
glass sheet, a
gold layer coated on the surface of one side of the
glass sheet as well as a
microcystin molecularly imprinted membrane modified on the surface of the
gold layer. The optical detection sensor disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that firstly, a
molecular imprinting technique is adopted for forming a sensitive layer of the sensor, so that specific recognition and adsorption efficiency for the
microcystin are enhanced, the specificity of detection means is improved, and the detection time is shortened; secondly, by the use of a surface
plasma optical detection technology, the sensitivity is improved, and the performance of the sensor is improved; thirdly, the whole sensor is simple and quick to operate, is low in requirement on operators, and provides effective help for
highly sensitive detection of the microcystin.
