Abstract
A method and sensor array for identification of an analyte is disclosed. The method comprises preparing a plurality of solutions at a plurality of pH values of at least one fluorescent poly(para-phenyleneethynylene) and its complex(es), exposing the complex analyte to the plurality of the solutions and measuring the fluorescence intensity of the exposed complex analyte. The fluorescence intensity is compared with a library and the complex analyte identified from the comparison.
