    Abstract: The present invention involves a series of articles, compositions, methods, and kits. Some aspects of the invention include articles such as particles, sols, blends, dispersions, films, or microarrays that comprise luminescent polymers, as well as methods for making and using such articles. In some cases, the luminescent polymer may be characterized in part by having a delocalized pi-orbital structure, which can allow the polymer to have a high degree of luminosity. The polymers of this invention may also have, in some embodiments, bulky substituents to prevent intermolecular pi-pi interactions that can decrease luminosity. Some articles may include more than one luminescent polymer, for example, a first polymer that absorbs energy and directs the energy to a second polymer that releases the energy. The articles of the invention may be used, in certain embodiments, to detect the presence of other compounds such as single molecules, proteins, or specific nucleic acid sequences, as well as cells, bacteria, and viruses. In one set of embodiments, the luminescent polymers are associated with an entity that can interact with, for example, a nucleic acid or a protein. The association may be direct, or through an energy transfer pathway. The entity can be, for example, a nucleic acid, a charged surface, an intercalating agent, or an entity that releases a quenching agent that interacts with the luminescent polymer.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a series of systems, devices, and methods relating to the determination of explosives, such as peroxides or peroxide precursors, and other species. Embodiments of the invention may allow a sample suspected of containing an explosive (e.g., a peroxide) or other species to interact with a reactant, wherein the sample may react and cause light emission from the reactant. Advantages of the present invention may include the simplification of devices for determination of peroxide-based explosives, wherein the devices are portable and, in some cases, disposable. Other advantages may include relative ease of fabrication and operation.
