A Multidimensional Sensing Device for the Discrimination of Proteins Based on Manganese-Doped ZnS Quantum Dots

摘要

Multidimensional sensing devices have received increasing attention because they are able to read out the target analytes with more than one transduction channel and thus offer increased accuracy and/or diversity. Generally, multidimensional sensing devices are constructed either by mechanically incorporating several different transducers (e.g. colorimetric, mass-sensitive, and capacitive) on a single-chip microsensor system (smart chip), or by chemically integrating multiple reporter units (e.g. fluorescent, absorbing, and electrochemi-luminescent) in a molecule (lab-on-a-molecule).
