Abstract

A wide range of analytical strategies and approaches have been developed, accomplishing significant advances in searching for efficient, fast, reliable, sensitive, and accurate protocols for sample analysis in recent decades. Chemical sensors are also low-cost, portable, and ecologically friendly, making them a preferred method of choice for a broad spectrum of sample analysis in various matrices of complexity. Of particular interest are sensors based on fluorescent molecules, nanoparticles, nanoclusters, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, molecularly imprinted polymers, sol-gels, dyes, porphyrins, ionic liquids, organized media, and fluorescent sensor arrays in microfluidic chips. This review highlights and provides concise and in-depth coverage of recent innovations, challenges, advances, and applications of a variety of fluorescence-based sensors for sample analysis between 2018 and 2022. Emphasis is placed on instrumentation design and the applications of sensors in analytical, environmental, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and forensic sample analysis. Recent innovations and the practical utility of fluorescent chemical sensors relevant to biological systems, biomedical sample measurements, and clinical diagnosis are extensively reviewed. Future directions and trajectories of fluorescent chemical sensors for various utilities, applications, and sample measurements are highlighted and discussed.
