Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays vital role in human biological systems, so its rapid and sensitive detection is necessary for health condition monitoring. In this work, a simple structure for dual channel GSH and refractive index (RI) detection is proposed. By introducing Au-MnO2 thin film coating on the fiber surface for the first time, GSH solution would lead to the dissolution of MnO2, the change in GSH levels could be monitored over a short period in channel 2. For channel 1, ITO-Ag thin film is applied for RI change detection. After optimization, the GSH detection sensitivity reached about -2.361 nm/mM in the range of 0.005-50 mM, and the RI sensitivity reached 1704.252 nm/RIU in the range of 1.331-1.3895 RIU. Channel 1 could also put into GSH detection in the high concentration scale to enlarge the sensor's range and 0.095 nm/mM of sensitivity is acquired within the range of 50-600 mM. With the presence of MnO2 film, the detection sensitivity increased 25.663 times. Neither channel interferes with the operation of the other. Proposed sensor provides stability, high selectivity and elevation in GSH detection sensitivity, which shows great potential for environmental and biological detection field and their applications.
