Hydrogen sulfide determination by solid surface luminescence

In the analytical system suggested, atmospheric hydrogen sulfide reacts with the surface of a filter paper treated with aqueous cadmium chloride and yields a luminescent species whose intensity can be correlated with the analyte concentration in ambient air. It was shown that the luminescent species are CdS solid particles which were formed in a well defined size. The paper luminescence was also tried on polymeric surfaces; polyethyleneoxide, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose were found to give a similar luminescence signal. The system can be used on the tip of an optical fiber for an irreversible, cumulative type of analytical device for hydrogen sulfide determination. The 3s detection limit for the paper luminescence detection system was 7.8 ppb H₂S.     

A turn-on fluorescent probe for selective and sensitive detection of hydrogen sulfide

An imidazolethione based turn-on fluorescent probe was synthesized for the detection of hydrogen sulfide, a biologically relevant molecule and an important air pollutant. The probe rapidly and selectively reacted with hydrogen sulfide to produce a strongly fluorescent product, resulting in the fluorescence enhancement of the system. The detection limit was determined to be 30 nM at the probe concentration of 1.0 μM. An indicating paper for visual detection of hydrogen sulfide gas has been fabricated by immobilizing the probe on a piece of appropriate paper substrate, and the detection limit of the visual method reached as low as 0.7 ppm. Moreover, the fluorescence turn-on/off of the system showed good reversibility when exposed alternately to hydrogen sulfide and mercuric ion, which was utilized to make an INHIBIT logic circuit for the presence of the two species.     

Development of a heterobimetallic Ru(II)-Cu(II) complex for highly selective and sensitive luminescence sensing of sulfide anions

A heterobimetallic ruthenium(II)-copper(II) complex-based luminescent chemosensor, [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-DPA)Cu](4+) (bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine; bpy-DAP: 4-methyl-4'-[N,N-bis(2-picolyl)amino-methylene]-2,2'-bipydine), has been designed and synthesized for the highly selective and sensitive recognition and detection of sulfide anions in 100% aqueous solutions. Owing to the high affinity of sulfide to Cu(II), the non-luminescent chemosensor can specifically and rapidly react with sulfide to yield the corresponding ruthenium(II) complex, [Ru(bpy)(2)(bpy-DPA)](2+), accompanied by the remarkable luminescence enhancement. The dose-dependent luminescence enhancement of the sensor shows a good linearity with a detection limit of 20.7 nM for sulfide anions. The novel luminescence sensor has a widely available pH range from 4.5 to 10 and an excellent response selectivity to sulfide only even in the presence of various other anions. Based on this chemosensor, a rapid, selective and sensitive luminescence method for the detection of sulfide anions in wastewater samples was established. The coefficient variations (CVs) of the method are less than 3.1%, and the recoveries are in the range of 90.9-108.5%.     

Determination of Hydrogen Sulfide by Wavelength-modulated Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy

Rapid, accurate, and sensitive determination of hydrogen sulfide was provided by tunable distributed feedback diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The laser wavelength scanning range covered the strongest absorption band of hydrogen sulfide. The absorption line at 1578?nm was used for analytical measurements. A homemade digital lock-in amplifier was used to demodulate the first and the second harmonic signals. Normalization of the second harmonic by the first harmonic signal provided calibration-free measurements so that interferences from light path, circuitry, and source intensity were minimized. A mass flow controller was used to introduce 0–100?ppm hydrogen sulfide for validating the analytical performance. The results demonstrated the linearity of the normalized harmonic signals with concentration with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995. The response time was approximately 3?s. The detection limit by Allan variance was 45 ppb with an integration time of 35?s. The sensitive hydrogen sulfide sensor is suitable for environmental monitoring with real-time detection.     

A time-resolved luminescent competitive assay to detect L-selectin using aptamers as recognition elements

L-selectin is a protein with potential importance for numerous diseases and clinical disorders. In this paper, we present a new aptamer-based luminescent assay developed to detect L-selectin. The sensing system working principle is based on Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) from a donor terbium complex (TbC) to an acceptor cyanine dye (Cy5). In the present approach, the biotinylated aptamer is combined with Cy5-labelled streptavidin (Cy5-Strep) to yield an aptamer-based acceptor construct (Apta-Cy5-Strep), while L-selectin is conjugated using luminescent TbC. Upon aptamer binding to the TbC-labelled L-selectin (L-selectin-TbC), permanent donor-acceptor proximity is established which allows for radiationless energy transfer to occur. However, when unlabelled L-selectin is added, it competes with the L-selectin-TbC and the FRET signal decreases as the L-selectin concentration increases. FRET from the TbC to Cy5 was observed with time-gated time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. A significant change in the corrected luminescence signal was observed in the dynamic range of 10–500 ng/mL L-selectin, the concentration range relevant for accelerated cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease, with a limit of detection (LOD) equal to 10 ng/mL. The aptasensor-based assay is homogeneous and can be realized within one hour. Therefore, this method has the potential to become an alternative to tedious heterogeneous analytical methods, e.g. based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

A novel detection of hydrogen peroxide based on a luminescent polyoxometalate

In this paper, we attempt to construct a simple and sensitive detection method for hydrogen peroxide based on reversible colour change and luminescence switching modulated by the electrochemical stimulation and redox reaction of H(2)O(2) with electroreduced polyoxometalate. This method successfully combines the electrochromic and luminescent properties of the polyoxometalate to develop a novel detection method for H(2)O(2) with good reversibility, which displays high sensitivity, a wide linear range and a low detection limit to H(2)O(2).     

Lanthanide luminescence quenching as a detection method in ion chromatography. Chromate in surface and drinking water

Dynamic quenching of Eu(III) and Tb(III) luminescence by inorganic anions as a detection method in ion chromatography was investigated. To obtain a high luminescence intensity, lanthanide(III) complexes are formed with ligands which make indirect excitation of the ions possible. Only a few anions (e.g., nitrite, chromate) induce efficient dynamic luminescence quenching. Chromate is an efficient quencher of Tb-acac luminescence. Samples of tap water and surface water, spiked with chromate, were injected into a high-performance liquid chromatographic system with post-column addition of the luminescent complex. In this way, a detection limit of 1.1 . 10(-7) M (13 ppb) of chromate could be obtained.     

A paper‐based gas sensor for simultaneous noninstrumental colorimetric detection of nitrite and sulfide in waters

The use of paper‐based devices in combination with noninstrumental detection systems is becoming increasingly important in the analytical field due to its simplicity, rapidity, and low cost. However, their use for determination of volatile analyte derivatives is still relatively scarce. The present work reports on the assessment of a paper‐based gas‐sensing approach for the simultaneous noninstrumental colorimetric detection of nitrite and sulfide. Colorimetric systems based on the Griess and methylene blue assays, formation of colored metallic sulfides, and interaction/reaction with in situ generated metallic nanoparticles were preliminary evaluated. Then, the effect of experimental variables affecting the analytical performance of the paper‐based gas sensor was studied with two digitization systems, namely a scanner and a smartphone. Under optimal conditions, the developed system yielded limits of detection of 0.055 and 0.005 mg/L for nitrite and sulfide, respectively. The repeatability, expressed as relative standard deviation, was found to be 5.9 and 6.7% for nitrite and sulfide, respectively. The proposed method was finally applied to the analysis of water samples, showing recoveries in the range of 95–105%.     

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays based on peroxidase labels and enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence detection

The enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL) detection is developed and applied for the determination of peroxidase as marker in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The detection scheme is based on the peroxidase catalysed dimerization of 4-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (pHPPA) and the subsequent formation of a ternary complex with Tb(III)EDTA. Quantum yields and fluorescence lifetimes of the luminescent species are presented to give an estimate of the potential of this procedure. Two different ELISA were performed with the EALL detection scheme. For the first, a model ELISA for the determination of goat anti-rabbit IgG, a limit of determination of 3 micrograms dm-3 (2 fmol) of the antibody could be achieved. As second model assay, a commercial ELISA kit was successfully validated for the new detection scheme. Photometric and EALL detection were in good agreement for the determination of human anti-gliadin IgA in serum.

Analytical strategies for the detection of sulfide: a review

The detection of sulfide, particularly hydrogen sulfide, has long held the attention of the analytical community and, as such, a large number of protocols have arisen. Built around a core of reactions, some of which are highly specific to sulfide, there is considerable scope for exploitation across a number of instrumental platforms. Such flexibility may provide options for alleviating potentially intractable matrix effects through switching to an alternative detection methodology. This review details the need for sulfide measurements and describes the basis of many of the current approaches to sulfide detection. The collation of information from a broad range of sources, covering the major approaches, has been achieved and the salient points of each technique presented and critically appraised. The various peculiarities of the systems are compared and contrasted and a summary of the analytical characteristics (matrix, methodology and detection range) from each has been constructed.     

Some features of luminescent properties of PbS suspensions,stabilized by high‐molecular polyvinylpyrrolidone

The results of the investigations of optical and luminescent properties of PbS suspensions stabilized by high‐molecular polyvinylpyrrolidone are described. Suspensions prepared by liquid colloidal method from sodium sulfide and lead nitrate demonstrate strong luminescence in near infrared spectral range at the excitation by visual light with different wavelengths. It was proposed that Förster resonant energy transfer plays the important role in luminescence properties of closed packed PbS particles. The model, which describes the observed luminescent properties of the suspensions PbS‐stabilized high‐molecular polymer, is proposed. The combination of very wide spectral range of excitation of the luminescence with rather narrow range of light radiation in near infrared spectral range determine wide perspectives of the materials in solar luminescent concentrators and photodetectors.

Lanthanide complexes as luminogenic probes to measure sulfide levels in industrial samples

A series of lanthanide-based, azide-appended complexes were investigated as hydrogen sulfide-sensitive probes. Europium complex 1 and Tb complex 3 both displayed a sulfide-dependent increase in luminescence, while Tb complex 2 displayed a decrease in luminescence upon exposure to NaHS. The utility of the complexes for monitoring sulfide levels in industrial oil and water samples was investigated. Complex 3 provided a sensitive measure of sulfide levels in petrochemical water samples (detection limit ∼ 250 nM), while complex 1 was capable of monitoring μM levels of sulfide in partially refined crude oil.
