Claims12
A sensing element for use in the detection of an analyte based on a luminescent response, the sensing element comprising a luminescent triaryl amine compound provided as a coating on a substrate.
A method of detecting an analyte, which method comprises:
- (i) allowing a luminescent compound comprising a triaryl amine moiety to interact with the analyte and measuring the luminescent properties of the compound in the presence of the analyte;
- (ii) detecting a difference between the luminescent properties measured in step (i) and the luminescent properties of the compound prior to measurement of luminescent properties in step (i);
- and
- (iii) determining whether the analyte is present based on the difference in luminescent properties detected in step (ii).
