According to specific embodiments of the present disclosure, as a result of real-time observing animal models, in which hydrogen sulfide involved in various diseases is generated in a large quantity, through optical and nuclear medicine imaging, the probe for detecting hydrogen sulfide according to the present disclosure may selectively bind with hydrogen sulfide to provide images of a site where hydrogen sulfide has abnormally increased in a cell or a tissue, thereby detecting a disease in an unexpected site without affecting the anatomical properties of the body. In addition, the probe for detecting hydrogen sulfide quickly reacts with hydrogen sulfide, thereby solving the existing problem of waiting a predetermined time for testing after an imaging agent is injected.

Abstract: Microdialysis sampling is an essential tool for in vivo neuro-chemical monitoring. Conventional dialysis probes are over 220 ?m in diameter and have limited flexibility in design because they are made by assembly using preformed membranes. The probe size constrains spatial resolution and governs the amount of tissue damaged caused by probe insertion. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a method to microfabricate probes in Si that are 45 ?m thick 180 ?m wide. The probes contain a buried, U-shaped channel that is 30 ?m deep 60 ?m wide and terminates in ports for external connection. A 4 mm length of the probe is covered with a 5 ?m thick nanoporous membrane. The membrane was microfabricated by deep reactive ion etching through a porous aluminum oxide layer. The microfabricated probe has cross-sectional area that is 79% less than that of the smallest conventional microdialysis probes. The probes yield 2-7% relative recovery at 100 nL/min perfusion rate for a variety of small molecules.
