Construction of a Liquid Crystal Biosensor and Detection of Heavy Metal Ions and Organic Phosphate

Abstract

Since the discovery of liquid crystal molecules have been widely used in electronic display devices. At the same time, as special “sensitive elements”, liquid crystal molecules have also been introduced into the field of sensors in recent years, especially in life science research, where they have been used to for constructing liquid crystal biosensors, the first appearance. Liquid crystal biosensors are fast, simple and low-cost, label-free, highly sensitive, and with low detection limits. Therefore, the development of new liquid crystal sensors is undoubtedly a great development in the field of chemical biosensors.
