Main Results:

  • The immobilized sensor demonstrated stability with minimal indicator leaching.
  • Calcium complexation induced a bathochromic shift of up to 70 nm and increased the absorption coefficient.
  • The sensor exhibited a dynamic measurement range of 3 to 10 mM calcium, with an inflection point at approximately 7 mM.

Conclusions:

  • The developed immobilized chromogenic calix[4]arene sensor provides a robust method for calcium ion detection.
  • The sensor's ability to calculate calcium concentration via absorbance shift accommodates potential indicator leaching.
  • This sensor technology holds potential for accurate and reliable calcium monitoring in relevant samples.
