Abstract(in English) Since a intracellular pH is an important bioactive factor, a detection method has been required. We investigated a FRET(Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer)-based pH sensor conjugated with a CdSe/ZnS quantum dot and a fluorescent organic dye. In this paper, we estimated a fluorescence spectrum of the CdSe/ZnS-dye mixed aqueous solution, and this reaction is found to continue up to 30 min by measuring fluorescence spectral change. However, a most serious problem is that unreacted raw materials cause the low sensitivity of the pH sensor. Wherein, we attempted to fractionate the reactant by using a gel filtration column due to different velocities of the CdSe/ZnS quantum dot and the fluorescent dye. This result shows that the unreacted CdSe/ZnS quantum dot phosphor and fluorescent dye can be successfully removed through the the column, and the different numbers of fluorescence dye around the CdSe/ZnS quantum dot can be realized. Finally, we succeeded in fabricating the sensitivity of the high pH sensor. In addition, we confirmed to respond pH by using a part of the separated pH sensor exchanged buffer by the ultrafiltration.
