Abstract
A sensor assembly probe may include a fluorescent semi-conductive nanoparticle. A sensor assembly probe may include a hydrophobic substrate for a predetermined enzyme, associated with the fluorescent semi-conductive nanoparticle by a non-covalent electrostatic interaction. A sensor assembly probe may include a hydrophilic group bonded to the hydrophobic substrate.
