Abstract: A FIA system coupled with an evanescent wave biosensor employing total internal reflection of fluorescence was used to detect compounds that intercalate with DNA. The analyte was detected by competition and displacement of intercalated ethidium bromide (excitation and emission at 499 and 592 nm, respectively). Double-stranded DNA was immobilized over the surface of a silanized optical fiber using acrylamide-methacrylamide-hydrazide prepolymer. The sample solution (20 µL) was introduced into 0.5 M phosphate buffer of pH 7.2 flowing at 24 ml/h and passed to the fluoribiosensor. A constant concentration of ethidium bromide was also pumped at the same rate and, at the steady state, the competitive intercalator was introduced. The response for 9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid, remazol brilliant blue, decacyclene and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride at the µg/ml level was significantly higher using the modified fiber than an unmodified one, and increased with increasing concentration of immobilized DNA. A decrease in response to ethidium bromide was obtained on injection of the competing DNA intercalator, which was followed by recovery of the steady state in 6.5-12 min. This decrease in response was a linear function of analyte concentration.

Abstract: An optical sensor for nitric oxide (NO) is described. The sensor involves a flow injection analysis (FIA) system coupled with an evanescent wave (EW) sensor employing total internal reflection of fluorescence radiation (TIRF). The detection is based on the measurement of the decrease in fluorescence response in the presence of NO of a highly fluorescent product which is the complex of glutathione and 7-diethylamino-3-(4'-maleimidylphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CPM). CPM forms a highly fluorescent product with thiol containing compound i.e. cysteine/glutathione which can be detected using an evanescent fluorosensor. NO form a stable complex with glutathione/cysteine which then does not react with CPM to form fluorescent product. Thus there is a decrease in the fluorescence signal on increasing concentration. of NO with constant concentration. of glutathione. An excellent FIA response was observed on the injection of the constant concentration. of CPM-glutathione product obtained by treating constant concentration. of glutathione with varying concentration. of NO. The lowest detection limit of NO is found to the order of 0.10 µM.
