A K+ doped glass slab optical waveguide (SOWG) was coated with octadecylsilane (ODS) to separate and concentrate analytes onto the SOWG with hydrophobic interaction between analytes and ODS. As an absorption detector of flow analysis, the ODS–SOWG detector was almost insensitive to a blue dye (bromothymol blue) which is not adsorbed to the surface of the SOWG. On the other hand, it was highly sensitive to another blue dye of coomassie brilliant blue G-25O (CBB) which is firmly adsorbed onto the SOWG surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
