title: Pyrene-based heparin sensors in competitive aqueous media - the role of self-assembled multivalency (SAMul).
abstract: Amine-functionalised pyrene derivatives are reported and their ability to detect heparin via a fluorescent response determined - different responses are observed dependent on whether self-assembled multivalent binding between sensor and analyte takes place, and ratiometric heparin sensors which can detect this surgically-relevant polyanion in competitive media are reported.
