An optical sensor is probably the most engaging areas of research at present, given the number of publications that come out in this area. Starting with simple optical fiber sensors for physical parameters such as temperature, strain, etc. to the more complex biosensing strategies, optical sensors promise immunity to electrical interferences, ease of manufacturing and easy acceptance from the user community. Although various complex bio/chemical sensors have been developed riding on the wave of nanotechnology, there are simple strategies to exploit nanoscale phenomena to develop powerful bio/chemical sensors. In the Biosensors and Bioinstrumentation (BSBI) lab of IIT Bombay, research is conducted on using modulations of the evanescent field on optical fibers or waveguides for chemical and biological sensing. This talk will concentrate on sensors developed using multimode optical fibers for detection of pathogens in water, proteins in serum and even trace explosive vapors in air. The sensitivity of these sensors canbeen improved by incorporating nanostructures (e.g. gold nanospheres, dendrimers, etc.) and polymers on the surface of the fibers.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"XIX-XIX"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73218101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paul","doi":"10.1109/ISPTS.2015.7220143","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISPTS.2015.7220143","url":null,"abstract":"Summary form only given. The non judicious application of a particular class of pesticides - organophosphates (OPs) to control agricultural pest has become a serious environmental issue leading to soil and subsequently surface & ground water pollution. The environmental concerns regarding persistence of organophosphates and toxic metabolites in soil and ground water has stimulated the research to develop rapid and sensitive bio-assay. Fluorescence-based biosensors have generated considerable interest over other biosensors as they allow the safe non electrical remote sensing of materials in hazardous or sensitive environments which derive an analytical signal from the fluorescence emission process. Recently, there has been an intense research effort to develop biosensor devices for the determination of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH), a biological catalyst, can effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of wide range of OPs resulting in the detection of these pesticides. Detection of OPs has been demonstrated by the conjugation of Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) and the fluorophorei.e 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid (HPTS or pyranine). The hydrolysis of the OPs by the enzyme decreases the pH in its vicinity which is being detected by the pH reporter fluorophore. The fluorophorepyranine has excitation at 460 nm and emission at 510 nm which can be used as pH indicator in the pH range of 7-10 and this has been monitored by developing the associated instrumentation. Enhancement in fluorescence detection signal was observed when amine functionalized silver nanoparticles were covalently attached to OPH6His-pyranine conjugate due to `Metal Enhanced Fluorescence' which in turn has resulted in lower detection limits of ~ 2ppb for paraoxon which are much better as compared to other enzyme based biosensors for organophosphate pesticides. The enhancement in the sensitivity of the biosensing assay due to introduction of silver nanoparticles with amine group is because of the metal enhanced fluorescence and stability of the bond between AgNPs and bioconjugate comprising of OPH6His-pyranine. This opens the possibility of the assay to be used for rapid field detection for organophosphates and contributing towards preserving environment.","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"30 1","pages":"IV-IV"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89680188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Calcination studies are carried out to optimize the properties. XRD studies are carried out to confirm the perovskite phase formation. The powders are prepared in the form of discs of 10 mm diameter and 1.0 mm thickness. Subsequently, compacted samples are sintered in the range of 1175 °C to 1200 °C to improve the density. The relative densities of all the samples are determined by first principle method. Poling dependence and stability of lead free BNKT ceramic system are investigated. The effect of Sr doping piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33), and coupling coefficient (Kp) are discussed in detail. Dielectric properties are studied by varying strontium content. Partial doping of Sr on BNKT ceramic improved the piezoelectric and dielectric properties substantially. The electric measurements reveals that the ceramic with x=0.03 & 0.04 has the better piezoelectric and dielectric properties. The obtained properties are piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33), 140 pC/N, dielectric constant (ε), 850 and dielectric loss (tan δ), 0.045.

The agri-food market the world over has increased biological, chemical and physical threats to food products, triggering a bigger consumer demand on process control, quality and safety of these products. Bio-sensors can play a vital role in the agricultural and food sectors to control production processes and ensure greater food quality and safety by reliable, fast and cost effective monitoring procedures. Bio-sensors are promising alternatives to conventional analytical tools since they offer advantages in size, cost, specificity, rapid response, precision and sensitivity. Each step in the agricultural and food production chain is susceptible to myriad threats in terms of loss of quality and transmission of diseases. These biological, chemical and / or physical threats can emanate from environmental contamination or failures during food handling, processing, packaging and distribution. Bio-sensors can detect, analyse and quantify molecules of different biological origins and throw light on the quality of food or agri-material in terms of their spiking with pesticides, fertilizers and dioxins residues, in addition to providing information on contaminated water and soil residues, genetically modified organisms, pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins, and food components such as antinutrients, allergens, drugs, additives, and hydrocarbons. Biosensors are also useful for the evaluation of food composition that undergo transformation during post-harvest operations and processing. Biosensors enable real time monitoring of variables such as pH, temperature, pressure, oxygen, flow and volatile substances. Biosensors can also play a useful role in the implementation of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) plans by detection of food borne pathogens and chemical contaminants. Suitably developed and designed biosensors can effectively screen air, water, soil, food, fresh and waste plant and animal agro-material for mitigation of bio-threat paradigm also by rapid detection of pathogenic microbes. Biosensors enable capturing of genetic signatures of various bio-pathogens and their toxic metabolites, that can pose a potential threat to human health and well being during outbreak of any unfortunate biological warfare (BW).","PeriodicalId":6520,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Symposium on Physics and Technology of Sensors (ISPTS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"XXXII-XXXII"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79983939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
