Silane-fluorophore complex indicator fluoride measurement with ethanol

Abstract

An embodiment provides a method for measuring an analyte component of an aqueous sample, including: introducing an indicator solution to the aqueous sample, wherein the indicator solution comprises a plurality of micelles, wherein an indicator is within the micelles and the plurality of micelles is assembled from a cationic surfactant to form an indicator solution, wherein the assembly occurs in the presence of an amount of alcohol; and measuring an analyte component concentration of the aqueous sample, wherein the measuring comprises measuring a change in fluorescence in the aqueous sample, wherein the change in fluorescence is responsive to the analyte component interacting with the indicator. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
