title: Fluorescent optical sensors.
abstract: Optical sensors are prepared by immobilizing an indicating layer on the distal end of a fiber optic cable. Dyes, enzymes, and antibodies can all be incorporated into the layer using a variety of immobilization techniques. Much of the present work is devoted to developing novel indicating schemes by combining appropriate recognition schemes into polymeric matrices.
