[0025] Analysis of tryptophan acid concentration within microfluidic droplets using supramolecular fluorescence.

[0026] Different concentrations of tryptophan were added to the supramolecular fluorescent supramolecular solution of CB[8] and MDPP with a molar ratio of 1:1, and the fluorescence intensity of the supramolecular solution was detected by a microplate reader. attached by Figure 5 It can be seen that when tryptophan is added to the supramolecular fluorescence system, the fluorescence of the system gradually decreases with the addition of tryptophan, which is because tryptophan enters the remaining cavity of CB8, and the aromatic group of tryptophan and MDPP π-π stacking is generated, resulting in fluorescence quenching.

[0027] Three groups of solutions were prepared: water phase (1): CB[8] (5μM) and MDPP (5μM); water phase (2): CB[8] (5μM), MDPP (5μM) and tryptophan (5μM) ; Aqueous phase (3): CB[8] (5 μM), MDPP (5 μM) and tryptophan (10 μM). The flow rate of t...
