The invention belongs to the technical field of
liquid crystal laser sensing, and relates to an estradiol detection device based on a
liquid crystal-gold
nanoparticle laser sensor. The
optical flow control
optical fiber is used as an echo wall
resonator. In order to realize an estradiol sensing function, the
DNA aptamer is modified on the inner surface of the
optical flow control
optical fiber to realize specific capture of estradiol. After the
aptamer is combined with estradiol, the interaction between the
aptamer and estradiol triggers the aptamer imaging change, so that the
liquid crystal molecule realizes the conversion from a bipolar type to a radial type, and the conversion leads to the reduction of the
refractive index, thereby causing the blue shift of the spectrum. By virtue of a local disturbance effect based on the gold nanoparticles, a quadruple synergistic effect of
hyperpolarizability change of modified biomolecules,
liquid crystal molecule orientation and echo wall mode
resonance, an opportunity is provided for sensing and amplifying subtle detection of a
target binding event. The problem of low sensitivity caused by common
naked eye observation or wide spectrum monitoring in a liquid
crystal microdroplet sensor is solved.
