We describe a maskless photopolymerization technique for integration of luminescent sensors for determination of pH values and dissolved oxygen (DO) into commercially available all-glass microfluidic reactors (in sizes as small as 43 +/- 3 mu m for both DO and pH sensors). The sensor spots are poly(ethyleneglycol acrylate)-based and obtained by photopolymerization of oligomers in the presence of optical probes for oxygen and pH values, respectively. The resulting devices were applied to in-line monitoring of enzymatic conversions of acetylcholine and glucose (by using acetylcholine esterase and glucose oxidase, respectively) on the microscale. The detection limits are 258 mu M and 505 mu M for acetylcholine and glucose, respectively. The method has a large potential in terms of monitoring enzymatic and other chemical reactions on the microscale in that it does not require special instrumentation apart from a standard widefield fluorescence microscope.
