Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Sensor for Wearable Interstitial Fluid Glucose Monitoring

We report on a nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor for wearable glucose monitoring in interstitial fluid. The sensor exhibited acceptable selectivity and reliability for continuous glucose detection for up to 30 days. The sensor tip is coated with polyurethane, and the biocompatibility of the tip is investigated by tissue staining. A fully integrated wearable glucose monitoring system is developed with a wireless connection with a smartphone. The test results are in agreement with reference methods. So, we believe the sensor is promising for the development of a continuous glucose monitoring system and diabetes management.

基于共轭聚合物的近红外光传感器

近红外光(NIR)传感器在军事警戒、空间勘探、科研检测、医疗诊断等领域有着极为重要的应用价值。传统的NIR传感材料主要是基于半金属的无机材料,借助窄带隙来吸收低能量的NIR而改变材料自身的电导率,继而实现检测。无机传感材料由于加工繁琐、不具备柔性、成本高昂以及难降解等因素致其进一步发展受到限制。新兴的共轭聚合物材料通过光热转换或者能级可调的光电效应实现对NIR的高灵敏传感,同时能够实现快速响应。该类聚合物材料具有π电子离域的共轭结构,同样具有较窄的带隙,在NIR照射下能够通过自身电导率的改变或光热转换作用将热量传递至其他超热敏材料来实现对光的检测。借助柔性、环境友好、制备简单、便于掺杂、灵敏度高等优势,共轭聚合物材料为新一代NIR传感器的应用与普及开辟了新的前景。     

Highly sensitive fluorescent sensor targeting CuCl2 based on thiophene attached anthracene compound (TA)

A novel thiophene attached anthracene (TA) based fluorescent compound was designed and synthesized. The TA showed a high quantum yield (Qy = 0.34) in regard to fluorescence. We applied this TA compound to detect specific metal compound and found that it could identify CuCl₂ from other metals through dramatic fluorescence change at λ_max = 460 nm. It showed strong quenching fluorescence property with CuCl₂ while with other metal compounds it exhibited strong blue fluorescence emission. UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy clearly demonstrated that the quenching property of TA at λ_max = 460 nm was due to overlapping of the fluorescence peak of TA at λ_max = 460 nm and the absorption band of CuCl₂ (from 190 nm to 525 nm). Binding constant (K′), which was 0.0895 mM^?2, indicated a complexation ratio between TA and CuCl₂ as 1:2 and this interaction induced quenching property.     

SpecPad: device‐independent NMR data visualization and processing based on the novel DART programming language and Html5 Web technology

SpecPad is a new device‐independent software program for the visualization and processing of one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) time domain (FID) and frequency domain (spectrum) data. It is the result of a project to investigate whether the novel programming language DART, in combination with Html5 Web technology, forms a suitable base to write an NMR data evaluation software which runs on modern computing devices such as Android, iOS, and Windows tablets as well as on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X desktop PCs and notebooks. Another topic of interest is whether this technique also effectively supports the required sophisticated graphical and computational algorithms. SpecPad is device‐independent because DART's compiled executable code is JavaScript and can, therefore, be run by the browsers of PCs and tablets. Because of Html5 browser cache technology, SpecPad may be operated off‐line. Network access is only required during data import or export, e.g. via a Cloud service, or for software updates. A professional and easy to use graphical user interface consistent across all hardware platforms supports touch screen features on mobile devices for zooming and panning and for NMR‐related interactive operations such as phasing, integration, peak picking, or atom assignment.

A Rhodamine-based fluorescent sensor for chromium ions and its application in bioimaging

A rhodamine-based sensor (1) has been developed for the detection of chromium ions. Cr³⁺-induced opening of the rhodamine spirocycle in sensor (1) led to the distinct colorimetric and fluorescence responses. Among all the tested ions, only Cr³⁺ generated a significant fluorescence enhancement of up to 13-fold, which indicated the high selectivity of 1. Sensor (1) was successfully applied in the in vivo fluorescence imaging of Cr³⁺ in C. elegans. The results provided solid evidences for the future estimation of Cr³⁺ in environmental applications and tobacco samples.
