Our group uses and develops dyes and luminescent probes for the development of bioanalytical assays and sensors. Those dyes may indicate the presence of an analyte by appearance of color (i.e. chromogenic dyes) or by a color change. Both types of dyes may be used in photometric assays and for the reflectometric readout of test stripes. We further create probes that respond to the presence of an analyte by changes of the various parameters of luminescence. All those probes serve to render biomolecules (e.g. hydrogen peroxide, amines, DNA, ions, enzymes, enzyme substrates/products, pH, gases and tumor metabolites) amenable for quantitation with optical readout. We are further involved in food analysis i.e. in the development of new methods for optical quantitation of biogenic amines.
