Innovative Detection System of Ochratoxin A by Thin Film Photodiodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we present, for the first time, a rapid, compact and innovative method for detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA) based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (aSi:H) sensors. 2 μl of acidified toluene containing OTA at different concentrations were spotted on the silica side of a High Performance Thin Layer Cromatography plate and aligned with a a-Si:H p-i-n photodiode deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition on a different glass substrate. As an UV radiation excites the mycotoxin, the reemitted light is detected by the a-Si:H sensor. Results show a very good linearity between OTA concentration and the sensor photocurrent over almost three orders of magnitude. The minimum detected OTA concentration is equal to 0.1ng, showing that the presented system has the potential for a low cost system suitable for the early detection of toxins in foods.

Thin film PIN photodiodes for optoelectronic silicon on sapphire CMOS
In this paper, we consider both the utility of SOS substrates as a vehicle for optoelectronic packaging and the high speed silicon photodiodes available on a commercial SOS process. We show optical responses for six configurations of PIN photodiodes designed in this process. Our results indicate that photodiodes native to this process will operate at better than gigabit rates and produce signal...
متن کاملIntegrated thin-film polymer/fullerene photodetectors for on-chip microfluidic chemiluminescence detection.
We report the use of solution-processed thin-film organic photodiodes for microscale chemiluminescence. The active layer of the photodiodes comprised a 1 : 1 blend by weight of the conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) [P3HT] and [6,6]-phenyl-C(61)-butyric acid-methylester [PCBM]--a soluble derivative of C(60). The devices had an active area of 1 mm x 1 mm, and a broad-band response from 35...

ZnO thin film of 80 nm thickness was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method on SiO2/Si substrate and subsequently post-annealed at 500°C with a flow of oxygen for 60 min. Crystallographic structure of the sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method while a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to investigate the surface physical morphology ...

متن کاملDetection of ochratoxin A in human breast milk in Jiroft city, south of Iran
Background and Purpose: Breastfeeding plays an important role in the growth and development of infants. However, breast milk may be contaminated with various mycotoxins. Ochratoxin A is one of the most important mycotoxins with nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, genotoxic, and immunotoxic properties. Thus, we carried out this study to determine the concentration of ochratoxin A in human br...
