Description

A SENSOR FOR DETERMINING CALCIUM IONS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sensor for determining calcium ions in a sample and a method of preparing optical-chemical sensor for determining calcium ions in a sample.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Biosensors are devices which utilize biological reactions to identify biological-relevant analytes such as glucose, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, hormones, or even microorganisms. These devices couple a biological recognition element, called the probe, with the physiochemical transducer which translates the biorecognition event into a measurable signal. The probes in these systems take advantage of the selectivity and specificity (affinity) of biomolecular interactions such as DNA-DNA hybridization in gene chips or antibody- antigen interactions in immunoassays. The current trend toward creating point-of-care molecular diagnostic biosensors and massively parallel biorecognition arrays (i.e., microarrays) has introduced new technical challenges for the probes, transducers, and their detection apparatus. Today, an ideal biosensor platform is required to be not only miniaturized and cost-efficient but also capable of simultaneous detection of multiple analytes. Electronic biosensors, which use a combination of electrochemical transduction and electronic sensing, are considered to be one of the promising technologies for the next generation of high-performance biosensors. However, because of the low efficiency of their transduction process, electrode-electrolyte interfacial variations, and high ionic interference, they have not yet outperformed the specifications of conventional optical methods (e.g., sensitivity of fluorescence or chemiluminescence spectroscopy techniques). The basis for such a high expectation is their inherent scalability and their cost-efficiency in terms of fabrication and detection reagents.
Because fluorescence is an absolute measurement, it possesses an inherent sensitivity that is among the highest of all analytical instruments. The high sensitivity of fluorescence spectroscopy for biochemically interesting molecules has led to an increasing popularity in biomedical and life science research.
Calcium ion regulates many biological processes including neuronal signaling, muscle contraction, and cell development and proliferation. Measurement of extracellular ionized calcium is an essential part of medical diagnostics. The measurement of ionized calcium, blood gases and potassium is mandatory to allow for the maintenance of good cardiac function during liver transplant operations or other operations that require bypassing the heart and lung functions and using artificial life support.
Ion selective electrodes (ISE) have been used for determining calcium ions in body fluids for many years. Serious drawbacks of electrochemical measuring arrangements are the requirement of a reference element, sensitivity towards electrical potentials and electromagnetic interference. While ion-selective electrodes are rugged and reliable, they are expensive to use in a disposable device application. In addition, these electrodes require an electrical connection of the sample measurement device to the instrument.
Therefore, there is a sensor for determining calcium ions in a sample particularly optical- chemical sensor which does not require a reference element and a method of preparing optical-chemical sensor for determining calcium ions in a sample. The present invention further introduces calcium sensing receptor active compounds having fluorescence properties. The present invention provides a considerable reduction of materials with even greater efficiency and economically during operation.
