At pH 7 and with the excitation at wavelengths above 315 nm, previously unreported fluorescence of 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) is observed. Two fluorescence bands were observed for 5-HT; the first emits at around 390 nm with an associated lifetime near 1 ns, and the other (well known) emits at 340 nm with an associated lifetime of 2.7 ns. With both static and time-resolved fluorescences, the spectral and temporal effects of the excitation wavelength were studied between 285 and 340 nm. With these basic spectroscopic properties as a starting point, a fiber-optic chemical sensor (FOCS) was developed in order to measure 5-HT with a single-fiber configuration, nitrogen laser excitation, and fast digitizing techniques. Temporal effects including fluorescence of the optical fiber were studied and compared with measurements both directly in cuvette and through the fiber-optic sensor. Less than thirty seconds are required for each measurement. A detection limit of 5-HT is reached in the range of 5 μM. Our system, with an improved sensitivity, could therefore be a possible and convenient “tool” for in vivo determination of 5-HT.

AbstractWe consider a method of probe analysis employing fiber-optic a composite Y-circulator design for the implementation of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy diagnostics. The proposed principle of the LIF analyzer is based on spatially separated directed optical beams of excitation and fluorescence radiations. Conditions of the effective Y-circulator operation as a passive fiber-optic switch are determined. Experimental investigation of the switched radiation losses is performed. An example of using the proposed analyzer for LIF diagnostics of biological media is presented.
