Abstract
A method for the detection of adulterated gasoline in a sample is disclosed. The method includes contacting a sample with an immobilized molecular probe, the immobilized molecular probe having a photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive; collecting the photoluminescence from the immobilized molecular probe; and determining whether the photoluminescence is indicative of adulterated gasoline. A test strip for the detection of adulterated gasoline in a sample is also disclosed, including an immobilized molecular probe embedded in a substrate and/or immobilized to the substrate, the immobilized molecular probe having photoluminescence which is environmentally sensitive to adulterated gasoline. The method and test strips are designed to be robust, portable, and within the capabilities of untrained personnel.
