    Abstract:
    A multidimensional optical sensing platform which combines the advantages of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), fluorescence, and colorimetry has been designed for detection of heparin. Phloxine B, a fluorescein derivative showing the special RRS spectrum in the long wavelength region, was selected to develop an easy-to-get system which can achieve switch-on sensing to obtain high sensitivity. The noise level of RRS in the long wavelength region is much weaker, and the reproducibility is much better; in this way, the sensitivity and selectivity can be improved. In the absence of heparin, the phloxine B and polyethyleneimine (PEI) form a complex through electrostatic interaction. Thus, the RRS signal at 554 nm is low; the phloxine B fluorescence is quenched, and the absorption signal is low. In the presence of heparin, competitive binding occurred between phloxine B and heparin toward PEI; then, phloxine B is gradually released from the phloxine B/PEI complex, causing obvious enhancement of the RRS, fluorescence, and absorption signals. Besides, the desorption of phloxine B is less effective for the heparin analogues, such as hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. In addition, the system presents a low detection limit of heparin to 5.0 × 10(-4) U mL(-1) and can also be applied to the detection of heparin in heparin sodium injection and 50% human serum samples with satisfactory results. Finally, the potential application of this method in reversible on-off molecular logic gate fabrication was discussed using the triple-channel optical signals as outputs.
