A renewable nanosensor based on a glass nanopipette

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 Dec 27;128(51):16462-3. doi: 10.1021/ja0650899.

Abstract

A fluorescent nanosensor based on reporter dye molecules trapped in the tip of a nanopipette has been developed. This 100 nm sized nanosensor has been shown to be capable of measuring local pH and mapping sodium concentration with a temporal resolution of a few milliseconds.
