Abstract
We demonstrate polymer composite membranes that can be coupled to conventional spectroscopic tools for enhancing the detection of weak UV fluorescence signals. The membranes incorporate a down-conversion phosphor with lanthanide ions allowing for the detection of UV emission from biomolecules commonly found in food products. We also explore their capability to discern between healthy and wounded tissue through measurements of the UV autofluorescence emission from skin. Our results show that the composite membranes have great potential to improve UV fluorescence detection in applications related to the biomedical, pharmaceutical and food areas.
