传感器阵列是基于对动物嗅觉系统的认识发展起来的一种有力的分子识别手段,其由一系列传感单元组成,通过各传感单元对样品响应后产生的特征图谱实现对特定物质的识别检测,尤其对混合样品的鉴定具有突出优势。其中,荧光传感器阵列由于具有灵敏度高、无需参照体系、输出信号丰富、能够成像等优点,已成为近年来传感器阵列发展的重点。本综述根据荧光传感单元形式的不同,分别介绍了溶液型、颗粒型、薄膜型荧光传感器阵列的发展情况,并重点阐述了荧光传感器阵列的设计方法、传感机理及其在对金属离子、有机化合物和生物分子识别中的应用。
Sensor arrays are developed based on the knowledge of olfactory systems and have become a powerful tool in the field of molecular recognition. Sensor arrays are comprised of a series of sensor elements which generate a specific recognition pattern for each analyte. This advantage provides sensor arrays discriminatory power to identify chemically or structurally similar analytes and even complex mixed samples. Due to the high sensitivity, no need of reference systems, multiple signals, and ability to be visualized, fluorescent sensor arrays have obtained increasing attention in the field of sensor arrays. The present review introduces the advances in the fluorescent sensor arrays which can be classified into solution-based arrays, particle-based arrays and film-based arrays according to the type of the sensor elements utilized. The design strategy and sensing mechanism of fluorescent sensor arrays and their applications in the field of recognition of metal ions, organic chemicals and biomolecules are highlighted.
