A Model On-line Flow Injection Fluorescence Immunoassay Using a Protein a Immunoreactor and Lucifer Yellow

Abstract

A heterogeneous on-line fluorescence immunoassay has been developed for a model analyte (transferrin) using a flow injection analysis system containing a controlled pore glass protein A immunoreactor. Lucifer yellow VS (LYVS) a 4-aminonaphthalimide with a large stokes shift and pH independence was the fluorophore. For each assay the antibody-protein A reaction takes place at near neutral pH, and the complexes are eluted at acid pH. Transferrin levels in human serum has been determined by this method, and good within assay variations have been achieved.     

Dual fluorescence of diphenyl carbazide and benzanilide: effect of solvents and pH on electronic spectra

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of benzanilide (BA) and diphenyl carbazide (DPC) in solvents of different polarities and pH have been analysed. The spectral characteristics of DPC and BA are compared with diphenyl amine molecule. In water and methanol, a dual fluorescence is observed for both DPC and BA molecules. The normal stokes shifted emission originates from a locally excited pi* electronic state and the large stokes shifted band is due to emission from a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state. pH studies show that both monocations and monoanions are non-fluorescent. The excited state acidity constants determined by fluorimetric titration and F?rster cycle methods, have been reported and discussed.

A highly fluorescent adenine derivative and its interaction with iron ions

In this paper, an adenine-derived fluorescent chromophore (HCC-APA) was synthesized to detect its interaction with iron ions. The results showed that a large stokes shift (υ = 10981.5 cm^?1) fluorescence of the HCC-APA was appeared. The fluorescence quantum yields of HCC-APA in DMF and THF were 3.49% and 17.54%, respectively, demonstrating its higher fluorescence performance than unmodified adenine. Besides, the fluorescence quenching of HCC-APA with iron ions was further detected. Fluorescence titration experiments confirmed that the detection limit of HCC-APA for Fe³⁺ was 3.69 μM. The interaction between iron ions and HCC-APA was investigated by continuous variable method, indicating that the binding ratio is 1:1. And the interaction site was deeply explored by ¹H NMR and molecular simulation.

Photoactivated Fluorescence Enhancement in F,N‐Doped Carbon Dots with Piezochromic Behavior

Photoactivation in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) on UV/Vis light exposure improves photoluminescence (PL) and photostability. However, it was not observed in fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CDs). Now, photoactivated fluorescence enhancement in fluorine and nitrogen co‐doped carbon dots (F,N‐doped CDs) is presented. At 1.0 atm, the fluorescence intensity of F,N‐doped CDs increases with UV light irradiation (5 s–30 min), accompanied with a blue‐shift of the fluorescence emission from 586 nm to 550 nm. F,N‐doped CDs exhibit photoactivated fluorescence enhancement when exposed to UV under high pressure (0.1 GPa). F,N‐doped CDs show reversible piezochromic behavior while applying increasing pressure (1.0 atm to 9.98 GPa), showing a pressure‐triggered aggregation‐induced emission in the range 1.0 atm–0.65 GPa. The photoactivated CDs with piezochromic fluorescence enhancement broadens the versatility of CDs from ambient to high‐pressure conditions and enhances their anti‐photobleaching.     

Determination of Nucleic Acids by the Columinescence Effect of Tb-Gd-Nucleic Acid System

Because rare earth ions have some characteristics such as narrow spectral width,long fluorescence life, large stokes shift and strongly binding with biological molecules, therefore they are usually as fluorescence probes to study nucleic acids, However the sensitivity is low. It is found that the fluorescence of Tb-nucleic acids (fish sperm DNA and yeast RNA) can increased by Sc³⁺,Y³⁺,La³⁺, Gd³⁺ and Lu³⁺, among which Gd³⁺ and Lu³⁺ have the greatest enhancement. This is a newly found co-luminescence effect.     

Electrophoresis with Polarized Fluorescence Detection. Application to Capillary Fluorescence Rejection

In this paper, we integrate the apparatus of electrophoresis with polarized fluorescence detection to suppress the background fluorescence arising from illuminating the coating layer of channel containers with a laser excitation source. It has demonstrated moderate background suppression efficiency, close to the ideal 3‐fold reduction on the surface doped with randomly distributed static fluorophores. In addition, when the fluorescence coverage is coated along the same orientation more uniformly, the background reduction is 10‐fold in our experiments. This detection scheme is applicable to acquire the electrophoregrams of separating small organic molecules and biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, when the loading of staining dyes is not heavy. This apparatus is simple. Only adding a pair of polarizer optics is needed. This detection scheme should work equally well with an incoherent light source.

Excitation Wavelength Dependent Fluorescence of an ESIPT Triazole Derivative for Amine Sensing and Anti‐Counterfeiting Applications

Excitation wavelength dependent (Ex‐De) emission materials have potential applications in anti‐counterfeiting labels and bioimaging. Nevertheless, few purely organic chromophores are used in these areas. In this study, multiple excited states were incorporated into a molecule that was excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) active, with the goal of manipulating the relaxation pathways of the excited states. The triazole derivative exhibits Ex‐De photoluminescence (PL), and the maximum PL wavelength is located at 526 nm and 593 nm under a series of excitation wavelengths. Spectral identification indicates that the excimer and ESIPT processes are responsible for the green (526 nm) and orange (593 nm) fluorescence, respectively. Importantly, the quick response code and test strip prepared with this triazole derivative can be used for anti‐counterfeiting and food spoilage detection applications, respectively. This research opens the door for developing novel Ex‐De materials for anti‐counterfeiting purposes.
