A novel optical sensor accurately measures seawater salinity using a fluorescent probe. This sensor offers a reliable method for determining salinity in marine environments.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate salinity measurement is crucial for oceanographic research and environmental monitoring.
  • Existing methods for salinity determination can be complex or require significant sample handling.
  • Development of a direct, optical sensing method for salinity is highly desirable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an optical sensor for the direct measurement of salinity in seawater.
  • To investigate two distinct approaches for salinity determination based on chloride concentration.
  • To assess the sensor's performance in real-world marine and brackish water samples.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of a chloride-quenchable fluorescent probe (lucigenin) onto a Nafion film.

  • Utilizing changes in fluorescence intensity to correlate with salinity.
  • Implementing dual lifetime referencing (DLR) by incorporating a phosphorescent reference luminophore for phase shift analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a correlation between salinity and fluorescence intensity changes of the lucigenin probe.
    • Successfully converted fluorescence intensity data into phase shift information using the DLR technique.
    • The developed optical sensor effectively determined salinity in North Sea seawater and brackish water samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed optical sensor provides a viable method for real-time salinity measurement.
    • The dual lifetime referencing approach enhances the reliability and analytical information derived from the sensor.
    • This technology holds potential for improved marine environmental monitoring and oceanographic studies.
