Expedite Fluorescent Sensor Prototype for Hydrogen Peroxide Detection with Long-Life Test Substrates

We report a practical fluorescent sensor device for the trace amount detection of hydrogen peroxide vapor. In this paper, we have significantly improved the performance of fluorescence analysis for the detection of peroxides by solving the problems of packaging and storage of active materials and transferring the chemical experiment phenomenon to the actual project output. The fluorescent sensor molecule, test substrates, mixing methods, and the way to improve the life time are carefully studied. Combined with the design of circuit and programming, a field-test prototype was designed for peroxide explosives and its performance and algorithm were screened and optimized. In the detection of traces of H2O2 generated by ultraviolet separation or leaked as inherent impurities, the high-efficiency and rapid detection of peroxide-based explosives is achieved. The detection limit of H2O2 is expected to reach 2 ppb, and the response time can reach <0.5 s.
