Smartphone ubiquity has led to rapid developments in portable diagnostics. While successful, such platforms are predominantly optics-based, using the smartphone camera as the sensing interface. By contrast, magnetics-based modalities exploiting the smartphone compass (magnetometer) remain unexplored, despite inherent advantages in optically opaque, scattering or auto-fluorescing samples.

This is an unprecedented report of hydrogel gratings with an analyte responsive dye immobilised in alternating strips where the patterned dye is its own dispersive element to perform spectroscopy. At each wavelength, the diffraction efficiency of hydrogel gratings is a function of dye absorbance, which in turn is dependent on the concentration of analytes in samples. Thus, changes in intensity of diffracted light of hydrogel gratings were measured for sensing of analytes.

Responsiveness of drug delivery systems (DDS) against internal and external stimuli attracts wide interest as a mechanism that can provide both site-specific release at the target place and feedback regulated release rate. Biological environment is quite complex and the effects that the intricate medium may have on the effectiveness of the stimulus have received certain attention. Differently, the impact that the drug loaded may have itself on the responsiveness of the DDS has been underestimated.

We present the design and fabrication of pH responsive ratiometric dual component sensor systems based on multicolor emissive upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) and pH sensitive BODIPY dyes with tunable p K values embedded into a polymeric hydrogel matrix. The use of NIR excitable NaYF:Yb,Tm UCNPs enables background free read-out. Furthermore, the spectrally matching optical properties of the UCNPs and the dyes allow the UCNPs to serve as excitation light source for the analyte-responsive BODIPY as well as intrinsic reference.
