Fluorescent carbon dots derived from lactose for assaying folic acid

The fluorescent carbon dots were successfully synthesized by simply heating the mixture of lactose and Na OH solution. The as-synthesized carbon dots had been systematically characterized by fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared(FTIR), high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and ~(13)C NMR. Since the fluorescence of the carbon dots was efficiently quenched by folic acid, the carbon dots were employed as selective fluorescence probes for detecting folic acid, depending on the formation of hydrogen bond among the functional group of folic acid(–OH, –COOH and –NH_2) and –OH and –COOH of the carbon dots. Moreover, the decrease of fluorescence intensity was capable of detecting folic acid in a linear range of 6×10~(-5)–8×10~(-8) mol/L with a detection limit of 1.2×10~(-9)mol/L at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, suggesting a promising assay for folic acid. Significantly, the practicability of this fluorescence probe to assay folic acid in human urine samples was further evaluated.

Synthesis and Characterization of Copper-Doped Zinc Selenide Quantum Dots as Fluorescence Probes for Sparfloxacin

Copper-doped zinc selenide quantum dots modified with mercaptopropionic acid were prepared. The fluorescence quenching of the quantum dots was directly proportional to sparfloxacin concentration.

NH2‐Functionalized Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes Decorated with ZnO Nanoparticles and Graphene Quantum Dots for Sensitive Assay of Pimozide

In this study, a novel and sensitive electrochemical nanosensor for the determination of antipsychotic drug Pimozide (PZ) is proposed using NH₂ functionalized multi walled carbon nanotubes (NH₂fMWCNT) decorated with and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnONPs) co‐catalyzed by graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Prior to electrochemical analyses of PZ, the designed nanosensor was well characterized in terms of surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and SEM armed with EDX analysis. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) employed to investigate the electron transfer capability and cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique was used to successfully compare the redox response of PZ on the surface of modified and unmodified electrode. The designed nanosensor response was linear between 6.25×10^?11–1.20×10^?7 M concentration range of PZ with a limit of detection value as 1.02×10^?11 M. The influence of interfering agents was further studied to examine the selectivity of the designed sensor. A rapid screening of PZ as is required in pharmaceutical and biological samples underscores the paramount importance of nano based electrochemical sensor for its sensitive and selective detection.

Electrochemical Luminescent DNA Sensor Based on Polymerase-assisted Signal Amplification

A novel polymerase-based electrochemical luminescence (ECL) DNA sensor was constructed for messenger RNA (mRNA) detection by cyclic chain displacement polymerization, assisted by target mRNA cycle and quantum dots signal amplification. Firstly, the mercapto-modified capture-type probe DNA (CP) was immobilized on the surface of a magneto-controlled glassy carbon electrode via Au-S bond. After the addition of target mRNA, CP was opened and hybridized with mRNA to form double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Then polymerase, primer chain (DNA1) and bases were added, which made the primer chain extend to replace the target mRNA. After one amplification cycle, the mRNA chain could open another hairpin in order to carry out next cycle of amplification. Finally, the ECL detection was carried out by adding DNA2 labeled thioglycolic acid-CdTe quantum dots. The amplification of the target mRNA by the addition of polymerase and the signal combined with the quantum dots label greatly improved the sensitivity of the sensor. The results showed that corresponding ECL signal had a good linear relationship with logarithm of target mRNA concentration in the range of 1 × 10^?15 to 1 × 10^?11 M, with a detection limit of 3.4 × 10^?16 M (S/N = 3). Under the optimal conditions, the recoveries of mRNA spiked in human serum sample were from 97.2 % to 102.3 %. This sensor exhibited good selectivity, stability and reproducibility.     

Synergistic Effect of MWNTs/CeO2/CHIT Film for Detection of CdSe Nanoparticle Labeled Sequence‐Specific of 35S Promoter of Cauliflower Mosaic Virus Gene

A porous composite film was fabricated combining the advantages of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, CeO₂ and chitosan. The synergistic effect of the film improved the immobilization of probe ssDNA.

The established DNA biosensor can discriminate different target sequences associated with 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus gene with relatively wide linear range and low detection limit (2.4×10^?13 mol/L).     

Biodegradable nanoprobe based on MnO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoflowers and graphene quantum dots for near infrared fluorescence imaging of glutathione in living cells

Near infrared (NIR) emitting semiconductor quantum dots can be excellent fluorescent nanoprobes, but the poor biodegradability and potential toxicity limits their application. The authors describe a fluorescent system composed of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as NIR emitters, and novel MnO₂ nanoflowers as the fluorescence quenchers. The system is shown to be an activatable and biodegradable fluorescent nanoprobe for the “turn-on” detection of intracellular glutathione (GSH). The MnO₂-GQDs nanoprobe is obtained by adsorbing GQDs onto the surface of MnO₂ nanoflowers through electrostatic interaction. This results in the quenching of the NIR fluorescence of the GQDs. In the presence of GSH, the MnO₂-GQDs nanoprobe is degraded and releases Mn²⁺ and free GQDs, respectively. This gives rise to increased fluorescence. The nanoprobe displays high sensitivity to GSH and with a 2.8 μM detection limit. It integrates the advantages of NIR fluorescence and biodegradability, selectivity, biocompatibility and membrane permeability. All this makes it a promising fluorescent nanoprobe for GSH and for cellular imaging of GSH as shown here for the case of MCF-7 cancer cells.

MWCNTs/Ionic Liquid/Graphene Quantum Dots Nanocomposite Coated with Nickel‐Cobalt Bimetallic Catalyst as a Highly Selective Non‐enzymatic Sensor for Determination of Glucose

In this work, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes/ionic liquid/graphene quantum dots (MWCNTs/IL/GQDs) nanocomposite. Then, the nanocomposite was decorated with nickel‐cobalt nanoparticles (Ni?Co NPs), and it was used as a non‐enzymatic glucose sensor. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were employed to prove the electrodeposition of the Ni?Co NPs on the surface of MWCNTs/IL/GQDs/GCE. Also, cyclic voltammetric and amperometric methods were utilized for the investigation of the electrochemical behaviour of the Ni?Co NPs/MWCNTs/IL/GQDs/GCE for glucose oxidation. The novel amperometric sensor displayed two linear ranges from 1.0 to 190.0 μmol L^?1 and 190.0 to 4910 μmol L^?1 with a low detection limit of 0.3 μmol L^?1 as well as fast response time (2 s) and high stability. Also, the sensor showed good selectivity for glucose determination in the presence of ascorbic acid, citric acid, dopamine, uric acid, fructose, and sucrose, as potential interference species. Finally, the performance of the proposed sensor was investigated for the glucose determination in real samples. Ni?Co NPs/MWCNTs/IL/GQDs/GCE showed good sensitivity and excellent selectivity.
