Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thin-film fluorescence sensor technology, specifically, it relates to a bonding-type high-sensitivity thin-film fluorescence sensor. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-film fluorescence sensors are a new type of sensor that achieves high-sensitivity detection based on the fluorescence properties of thin-film materials. The core of the sensor is to identify target molecules through changes in fluorescence signals. It utilizes the specific binding of fluorescent sensing molecules to the analyte and has the 3S+1R detection characteristics of high sensitivity, high selectivity, fast response, and reversibility. It is used in industries such as environmental monitoring, medical diagnosis, and food safety.

[0003] Thin-film fluorescence sensors are an advanced sensing technology for detecting substances based on the fluorescence effect. The core principle is to achieve specific identification and quantitative analysis of trace substances by causing changes in fluorescence signals (intensity, wavelength, or lifetime) through the interaction between fluorescent materials and target substances. The working process involves key steps such as electronic transition (photoexcitation to generate fluorescence), molecular recognition (target substance binding with sensitive material), and signal conversion (converting changes in fluorescence parameters into readable data).

[0004] Current technologies face significant challenges in detecting low-saturated vapor pressure and non-volatile explosives (such as nitro aromatic compounds). These compounds exhibit extremely low gaseous molecular concentrations at room temperature, and the gas transport path design of traditional thin-film sensors has inherent flaws: analyte molecules are pumped from the collection port to the sensitive thin-film surface, resulting in long-distance transport paths prone to physical adsorption and leakage losses, leading to an effective transport efficiency of less than 30%. This makes the detection of these compounds even more difficult, resulting in low sensitivity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] To address the significant challenges in detecting low-saturated vapor pressure and non-volatile explosives (such as nitro aromatic compounds) mentioned in the background section, where the concentration of these compounds in the gas phase is extremely low at room temperature, the gas transmission path design of traditional thin-film sensors has inherent flaws: analyte molecules are pumped to the sensitive film surface through the collection port, and the long transmission path is prone to losses such as physical adsorption and leakage, resulting in an effective transmission efficiency of less than 30%. This makes the detection of these compounds even more difficult and results in low sensitivity. Therefore, this invention adopts the following technical solution.

Alternatively, the gas to be detected can be drawn into the housing 100 for detection.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the detection component structure in this embodiment. A mounting bracket 102 is installed inside the sensor back cover 101.
