Trace detection of canine distemper virus based on
Michelson-interferometer sensing probe
Abstract
A single-mode-fiber (SMF)-multimode-fiber (MMF)-tri-core-fiber (TCF)
Michelson probe structure is proposed for trace detection of canine
distemper virus (CDV). One end of the TCF is cut flat and fused with the
multimode fiber, and the other end is coated with a silver film to
enhance the reflection, and an optic-fiber sensing probe with
SMF-MMF-TCF structure is obtained. The (PDDA/PSS) 3
multilayer film is modified on the surface of the fiber by
layer-by-layer self-assembly method as a polyelectrolyte binder to
immobilize CDV antibodies to form a (PDDA/PSS) 3/CDV
antibody composite membrane for specific detection of CDV antigens. The
response-recovery test of the sensor is performed to verify its
repeatability. The detection limit, the sensitivity, and the linear
fitting degree for CDV antigen are 0.1236 pg/ml, 1.1776 dB/(pg/ml), and
0.9899, respectively. At the same time, the stability, selectivity, and
clinical samples of the sensors were also verified.
