Abstract

In this paper, we propose a linear differential detection system based on a frequency domain weak measurement. The system can be used for detecting optical substances. Moreover, we completed an experiment to detect himan serum albumin (HSA) content in a mixture of human serum albumin and l-proline via dialysis. This work also proves the differential function of the system. This experiment can be further extended to detecting protein content in a mixed solution that contains protein macromolecules and various small molecules. It is very important for detecting molecules without photomarking in solutions of complex biological samples. In this paper, the system has an optical resolution of 1.39 × 10-5, and resolution of 4.06 × 10-8 mol/L for himan serum protein solution.
