Fluorometric determination of cadmium(II) and mercury(II) using nanoclusters consisting of a gold-nickel alloy

A one-pot route has been developed for the preparation of bovine serum albumin-templated nickel-doped bimetallic gold-nickel nanoclusters (BSA-Au-Ni NCs) at a 10:1 M ratio of the precursor salts in a BSA matrix under alkaline conditions. The metal ions are reduced to the metal alloys by BSA. The resulting NCs display strong fluorescence and dual emission with peaks at 405 and 640 nm, respectively, under excitation at 340 nm. Fluorescence is strongly enhanced on addition of Cd(II) ions, but quenched on addition of Hg(II) ions. The findings have been exploited to design a fluorometric method for the separate determination of Cd(II) and Hg(II), respectively. The optimized analytical nanosystem displays relatively good dynamics between enhancement and quenching. Cd(II) and Hg(II) can be quantified in the 0 to 200 and 0 nM to 24 μM, respectively. The limits of detection are ~1.8 nM in both cases, which indicates the highest sensitivity to Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions for a fluorescent probe. This new kind of nanocrystal probe is hardly interfered by a range of commonly encountered metal ions. Its advantages were demonstrated by determining Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions in spiked serum samples.

Dually emitting nanoclusters composed of gold-nickel alloys are shown to act as very sensitive fluorescent probes for the detection of Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions.

     

Electrochemical performance of a three-layer electrode based on Bi nanoparticles,multi-walled carbon nanotube composites for simultaneous Hg(II) and Cu(II) detection

Electrochemical analysis is a promising technique for detecting biotoxic and non-biodegradable heavy metals. This article proposes a novel composite electrode based on a polyaniline (PANi) framework doped with bismuth nanoparticle@graphene oxide multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Bi NPs@GO-MWCNTs) for the simultaneous detection of multiple heavy metal ions. Composite electrodes are prepared on screen-printed electrodes (SPCEs) using an efficient dispensing technique. We used a SM200SX-3A dispenser to load a laboratory-specific ink with optimized viscosity and adhesion to draw a pattern on the work area. The SPCE was used as substrate to facilitate cost-effective and more convenient real-time detection technology. Electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry, were used to demonstrate the sensing capabilities of the proposed sensor. The sensitivity, limit of detection, and linear range of the PANi-Bi NPs@GO-MWCNT electrode are 2.57 × 10² μA L μmol⁻¹ cm⁻², 0.01 nmol/L, and 0.01 nmol/L–5 mmol/L and 0.15 × 10⁻¹ μA L μmol⁻¹ cm⁻², 0.5 nmol/L, and 0.5 nmol/L–5 mmol/L for mercury ion (Hg(II)) and copper ion (Cu(II)) detection, respectively. In addition, the electrode exhibits a good selectivity and repeatability for Hg(II) and Cu(II) sensing when tested in a complex heavy metal ion solution. The constructed electrode system exhibits a detection performance superior to similar methods and also increases the types of heavy metal ions that can be detected. Therefore, the proposed device can be used as an efficient sensor for the detection of multiple heavy metal ions in complex environments.     

A Label-Free Deoxyribozymes Resonance Rayleigh Scattering Assay for Trace Lead(II) Based on Nanogold Catalysis of Chloroauric Acid-Vitamin C Particle Reaction

In pH 7.2 Tris-HCl buffer solution, the substrate strand DNA (SDNA) was hybridized to the enzyme strand DNA (EDNA) forming a double strand DNA (dsDNA). The SDNA in dsDNA could be cleaved by lead(II) to release a cleavaged single-stranded (ssDNA) that prevented the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from forming a stable AuNPs-ssDNA conjugate. The unconjugated AuNPs were aggregated to form AuNP aggregation (AuNPsA) that appeared as a resonance Rayleigh scattering (RS) peak at 532 nm. When the lead(II) concentration increased, the AuNPs-ssDNA increased, the AuNPsA decreased, the color changed from blue to red, and the RS intensity at 532 nm decreased. The decreased RS intensity ΔI _532 nm was linear to the lead(II) concentration in the range of 0.67–60 nmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.3 nmol/L. The AuNPs-ssDNA exhibited a strong catalytic effect on the reaction between chloroauric acid and vitamin C (VC) that can be detected by an RS method at 620 nm. When the lead(II) concentration increased, the intensity at 620 nm increased, and the increased intensity ΔI _620 nm was linear to the lead(II) concentration in the range of 1.33–120 pmol/L, with a detection limit of 0.5 pmol/L. The proposed method was applied to detect lead(II) in water samples, with satisfactory results.     

A novel DNA-templated click chemistry strategy for fluorescent detection of copper(II) ions

A copper(II) ion-selective on-off-type fluoroionophore based on zinc porphyrin-dipyridylamino

A new copper(II) fluorescent sensor 5,10,15,20-tetra((p-N,N-bis(2-pyridyl)amino)phenyl)porphyrin zinc (1) has been designed and synthesized by the Ullmann-type condensation of bromoporphyrin zinc with 2,2'-dipyridylamine (dpa) under copper powder as a catalyst as well as with K2CO3 as the base in a DMF solution. It consists of two separately functional moieties: the zinc porphyrin performs as a fluorophore, and the dpa-linked-to-zinc porphyrin acts as a selected binding site for metal ions. It displays a high selectivity and antidisturbance for the Cu2+ ion among the metal ions examined (Na+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Fe3+) and exhibits fluorescence quenching upon the binding of the Cu2+ ion with an "on-off"-type fluoroionophoric switching property. The detection limit is found to be 3.3 x 10(-7) M (3s blank) for Cu2+ ion in methanol solution, and its fluorescence can be revived by the addition of EDTA disodium solution. The design strategy and remarkable photophysical properties of sensor 1 help to extend the development of fluorescent sensors for metal ions.     

An Electrochemical Aptasensor for Detection of Thrombin based on Target Protein‐induced Strand Displacement

A sensitive electrochemical aptasensor for detection of thrombin based on target protein‐induced strand displacement is presented. For this proposed aptasensor, dsDNA which was prepared by the hybridization reaction of the immobilized probe ssDNA (IP) containing thiol group and thrombin aptamer base sequence was initially immobilized on the Au electrode by self‐assembling via Au? S bind, and a single DNA labeled with CdS nanoparticles (DP‐CdS) was used as a detection probe. When the so prepared dsDNA modified Au electrode was immersed into a solution containing target protein and DP‐CdS, the aptamer in the dsDNA preferred to form G‐quarter structure with the present target protein resulting that the dsDNA sequence released one single strand and returned to IP strand which consequently hybridized with DP‐CdS. After dissolving the captured CdS particles from the electrode, a mercury‐film electrode was used for electrochemical detection of these Cd²⁺ ions which offered sensitive electrochemical signal transduction. The peak current of Cd²⁺ ions had a good linear relationship with the thrombin concentration in the range of 2.3×10^?9–2.3×10^?12 mol/L and the detection limit was 4.3×10^?13 mol/L of thrombin. The detection was also specific for thrombin without being affected by the coexistence of other proteins, such as BSA and lysozyme.     

基于末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶扩增DNA-铜纳米簇荧光传感检测L-组氨酸

利用末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶(TdT)扩增形成聚胸腺嘧啶(T)DNA模板,制备了聚T铜纳米簇(TS-CuNCs),构建了一种用于L-组氨酸(L-His)检测的荧光传感分析新方法.TdT酶在dTTP存在下合成聚T单链DNA核苷酸序列.由于胸腺嘧啶和Cu2+之间的亲合力,聚T单链DNA作为合成铜纳米簇(CuNCs)的模板,加入还原剂后形成CuNCs,荧光强度增强.在L-His存在下,L-组氨酸的咪唑基与Cu2+螯合形成L-His-Cu2+配合物,因而进入聚胸腺嘧啶序列中的Cu2+量减少,使得合成的CuNCs数量减少,导致荧光信号减弱.实验结果表明,体系荧光响应信号与L-His浓度的对数值在5.0×10-9~5.0×10-4 mol/L范围内呈线性关系,检出限达到3.4×10-9 mol/L.本方法用于实际尿液样品中L-组氨酸检测的回收率为97.4%~104.6%,在生物医学及临床诊断中具有潜在应用价值.     

Evaluation of a carbon paste electrode modified with organofunctionalised SBA-15 nanostructured silica in the simultaneous determination of divalent lead, copper and mercury ions

The performance of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with SBA-15 nanostructured silica organofunctionalised with 2-benzothiazolethiol in the simultaneous determination of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) ions in natural water and sugar cane spirit (cacha?a) is described. Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) were pre-concentrated on the surface of the modified electrode by complexing with 2-benzothiazolethiol and reduced at a negative potential (-0.80 V). Then the reduced products were oxidised by DPASV procedure. The fact that three stripping peaks appeared on the voltammograms at the potentials of -0.48 V (Pb2+), -0.03 V (Cu2+) and +0.36 V (Hg2+) in relation to the SCE, demonstrates the possibility of simultaneous determination of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+. The best results were obtained under the following optimised conditions: 100 mV pulse amplitude, 3 min accumulation time, 25 mV s(-1) scan rate in phosphate solution pH 3.0. Using such parameters, calibration graphs were linear in the concentration ranges of 3.00-70.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Pb2+), 8.00-100.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Cu2+) and 2.00-10.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) (Hg2+). Detection limits of 4.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) (Pb2+), 2.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Cu2+) and 4.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) (Hg2+) were obtained at the signal noise ratio (SNR) of 3. The results indicate that this electrode is sensitive and effective for simultaneous determination of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ in the analysed samples.
