Abstract

A compact, inexpensive detector for proteins has been constructed based on two-photon excitation of fluorescence from phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. The fluorescence was excited by a solid-state microchip laser operating at 532 nm. Detection limits for phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan were 62 microM, 2.0 microM, and 470 nM, respectively, in a volume of 3 fL. The detection limit for a test protein, bovine serum albumin, was 130 nM.
