Patent number: 11561175Abstract: A method for the detection of hydrocarbon contamination in a sample is disclosed. The method includes contacting a sample with a molecular probe. The molecular probe has a photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive. The photoluminescence from the molecular probe is collected. The method includes determining whether the photoluminescence is indicative of a hydrocarbon contaminated sample. A test strip for the detection of hydrocarbon contamination in a sample is also disclosed. The test strip includes a molecular probe embedded in a substrate and/or immobilized to the substrate, the molecular probe having a photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive to hydrocarbon contaminated sample.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, vertreten durch die Bundesministerin für Wirtschaft und Energie, diese vertreten durch den Präsidenten der Bundesanstalt für Materialforgchung und- Prüfung (BAM)Inventors: Raúl Gotor, Jérémy Bell, Knut Rurack

Publication number: 20210208070Abstract: A method for detection of an adulterated diesel fuel in a sample is disclosed. The method includes contacting a sample with a molecular probe, the molecular probe having a photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive; collecting the photoluminescence from the molecular probe; and determining whether the photoluminescence is indicative of adulterated diesel fuel. A test strip for the detection of adulterated diesel fuel in a sample is disclosed, comprising a molecular probe embedded in a substrate and/or immobilized to the substrate, the molecular probe having a photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive to adulterated diesel fuel. The method and test strips are designed to be robust, portable, and within the capabilities of untrained personnel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2017Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, vertreten durch die Bundesministerin für Wirtschaft und EnergieInventors: Raúl Gotor, Jérémy Bell, Knut Rurack
