(A) Quenching of the luminescence peak centered at 630 nm of the multilayer structure (PAH/CdTe)12(PAH/PSS)3(PAH/GOD)3 when it is exposed to a 4 mM glucose solution at different temperatures. The time-dependent luminescence intensity of that peak during the first 9 min of the reaction for each temperature is shown in the inset. (B) Luminescence quenching of the same film for different glucose concentrations: (a) 2, (b) 4, (c) 6, (d) 8, (e) 12, (f) 16, (g) 20, and (h) 40 mM over 150 min; (C) quenching rate (Qm) of the sensor over 5 min as a function of the glucose concentration. F0 and Fm correspond to the luminescence intensity in the absence (F0) and presence (Fm) of glucose. All measurements were carried out in a 20 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4.
