New research published in the Chemical Engineering Journal highlights the superior performance of Jiangxi Daishing’s C1000 POF in advanced environmental sensing.
[The Challenge: Detecting Antibiotic Residue]
Tetracycline (TC) usage in agriculture poses significant risks to food safety and human health. Traditional detection methods like HPLC are accurate but expensive and time-consuming. The industry needs a rapid, low-cost, and highly sensitive on-site solution.
[The Solution: A Novel Micro-Structure POF Sensor]
A recent study titled “An evanescent wave enhanced C3N4-MIL-53 functionalized micro-structure polymer optical fiber sensor” utilizes a groundbreaking approach to solve this problem. Published in the prestigious Chemical Engineering Journal, the researchers developed a sensor that combines a side-polished structure with micro-grooves to enhance signal sensitivity

We are thrilled to announce that the backbone of this innovative sensor is Jiangxi Daishing’s C1000 Step-Index Polymer Optical Fiber.
The researchers specifically selected our C1000 fiber for its consistent optical properties and robust mechanical characteristics. As stated in the paper:
“The optical fiber used is the step-index POF (Jiangxi Daishing, C1000) with a diameter of 1 mm, a cladding thickness of 10 µm, and a numerical aperture of 0.5.”
[Why Specifications Matter in Sensing]
In biosensing, the quality of the raw material defines the limit of detection. Our C1000 fiber enabled the researchers to:
Achieve Precise Micro-Machining: The PMMA core allowed for the creation of 120μm deep micro-grooves without compromising structural integrity
Enhance Evanescent Waves: The consistent refractive index (ncore=1.49, ncladding=1.41)was crucial for the theoretical modeling and actual performance of the evanescent field.
Deliver Results: The sensor achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.005 ppm, proving that our POF is suitable for high-precision analytical instrumentation
[The Future of POF Sensors]
This study confirms that Polymer Optical Fiber is superior to silica fiber in specific applications due to its flexibility, large core diameter, and resistance to bending. Jiangxi Daishing is proud to support the scientific community by providing high-quality raw materials that push the boundaries of what’s possible in biochemical sensing.
