Abstract

Self-assembled microcapsules allow for the encapsulation of fluorescent dyes capable of the detection of many biochemicals. The stability and detection range of these sensors might make them optimal for use in microgravitational environments. A microencapsulated fluorescent oxygen sensor was. developed for the detection of O₂ in fluidic and cultured systems. This sensor provides real-time response for differing O₂ concentration in a useable range.
