Topic: Luminophore


  
  Luminophore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A luminophore is an atom or atomic grouping in a chemical compound that manifests luminescence.There exist organic and inorganic luminophores.
The difference between luminophores belonging to these two subcategories is derived from the nature of the excited state responsible for the emission of photons.
Some luminophores, however, cannot be classified as being exclusively fluorophores or phosphors and exist in the gray area in between.

The luminophores used in penetrants must be readily soluble in common organic solvents, and the resulting solutions must luminesce intensely in thin films, exhibit good wetting and adsorbing capacity, be safe and inexpensive.
An article to be inspected is immersed into a solution of the luminophore in petroleum ether; after the solvent has evaporated, defects produce blue luminescence, while the rest of the surface emits yellow light [4].
Organic luminophores of the pyrazoline series are introduced into rubber-like compounds, which change the colour of their luminescence when exposed to aggressive media [36].

 Device for analyzing immunoassays - Patent 6929943
First reaction agents are dissolved in the assay medium in the vessel and are labeled with a luminophore or different luminophores and second reaction agents are bonded to the boundary surface within a boundary layer of the assay medium.
A luminophore in the solution that is not bonded is not positioned in the field of evanescence of the light beam, is therefore not excited and consequently also does not emit photons.
Since the amount of bonded luminophore is directly proportional to the originally existing amount of luminophore, the sensor arrangement makes it possible to make a quantitative determination of reactant in the solution, in real time and without additional washing and/or pipetting steps, except for the initial pipetting step.

This is defined as the property of a luminophore to emit light that is produced due to excitation, utilising light energy for this excitation.
Electrons within the luminophore are exited to a higher energy level, with the resulting difference in energy being re-emitted as radiation in the form of longer wavelength red light.
As oxygen molecules contact the luminophore, they absorb energy from the electrons in the exited state, allowing them to return to their initial state with a corresponding reduction of emitted radiation.

The luminophores then emit by photoluminescence a visible light whose color is determined by the nature of the luminophore.
Thus, by modifying this holding frequency, the luminence due to each type of luminophore can be adjusted and so the plasma panel colors: the three red, green and blue luminophores which cover the three zones forming each elementary image point are shown by the references R, V, B and by respective hatching or cross ruling.
By modifying the frequency of the holding signals applied to each type of luminophore, the amount of light due to each type of luminophore is modified and the combined colors of the panel can be adjusted, namely those which are obtained by exciting several luminophores of different types in an elementary image point.

 Chemiluminescence History Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In electrochemiluminescent reactions, the emitting species, the luminophore, is excited to a higher electronic state by a charge-transfer reaction occurring at an electrode.
A charge transfer reaction occurs in which the reduced and oxidized species combine to form two neutral molecules, one of which is in an excited state.
The excited luminophore emits light as it move to its ground state.

The thicker the paint, the greater the absorption of UV energy by the luminophore and, likewise, the greater the output of visible light.
To compensate for variations in excitation caused by paint thickness and uneven illumination by the flashlamp, a second luminophore is mixed in with the paint to provide an output reference signal which is only proportional to the UV excitation.
Another luminophore which is sensitive to temperature is mixed into the paint to provide a temperature reference signal at yet another visible wavelength.

For signaling the binding of the target analyte, we have inserted in the structure of the chemosensors different luminophores, such as dioxyxanthone derivatives, dansyl derivatives, ruthenium complexes, and hydroxyquinoline derivatives.
In solution, the binding is always signaled by pronounced changes in the photophysical properties of the inserted luminophore such as emission wavelength and intensity, and excited state lifetime.
The mechanism for the signal transduction strongly depends on the chosen receptor and luminophore moieties, and has been investigated in detail by means of steady state and time resolved spectroscopy.

 Immobilized HCPI as Solid Phase Luminophore in Peroxyoxalate Chemiluminescence - RPAC Group Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
A new luminophore for application in peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence is presented.
By using this reagent in a solid phase detection reactor, sensitive determinations of hydrogen peroxide have been demonstrated.
In homogeneous solution HCPI emits poorly as a result of 1,1’-oxalyldiimidazole excitation, but when immobilized, its efficiency is almost comparable to highly efficient luminophores such as 3-aminofluoranthene.

 Full Article
In the present study experimental and literature data are presented suggesting that NAD(P)H/lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence of microsomes is due to the reductase and (di)oxygenase activities of the enzymes of this subcellular fraction towards lucigenin.
Evidently, in the latter case the quantum yield of chemiluminescence would be significantly higher because of lowered probability of non-radiative energy transfer on the heme of cytochrome P450.
The possible activation of luminophores including analogs of luciferin and laser dyes [38] by the components of cytochrome P450 and oxidoreductases with wide substrate specificity should be considered during the development of new probes for registration of lipid peroxidation and production of reactive oxygen species.

Luminescent Pressure Sensor (LPS) (or Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP)) is a key of new high effective aerodynamic research technology providing an opportunity to measure pressure field on all visible surface of the model in wind tunnel and calculate aerodynamic loads.
The basis of Luminescent Pressure Sensitive Paint is an organic luminophore dispersed in oxygen-permeable polymer binder and glowing in the visible spectrum being illuminated by ultraviolet light.
Since oxygen concentration is constant in the air, a change in air pressure results in a proportional change in oxygen concentration and a corresponding change in light intensity from the luminophore.
