Sulfane sulfur species are newly recognized signaling molecules that play physiological roles in many biological events. The development of new technologies for the detection of sulfane sulfurs is important. Point-of-care (POC) devices are in-field rapid and low-cost detectors that are more convenient to use than bulky and expensive standard instruments. In this report, a new fluorescent probe (SSP5) was designed to detect sulfane sulfurs using a POC sulfane sulfur smartphone spectrum apparatus (S4A). This probe proved to be sensitive and selective for sulfane sulfur species over other biologically relevant sulfur species such as cysteine and H2S. The low-cost and compact S4A has achieved comparable performance to standard laboratory equipment in both a standard buffer system and a synthetic urine system. The proposed system (SSP5 + S4A) has the potential for high accuracy and rapid detection of sulfane sulfur species in remote and low resource settings.
