Abstract
Acid-sensitive CdTe quantum dots-loaded alginate hydrogel (CdTe QDs-AH) beads were designed for the visual detection of SO2 residues. As proof of concept, two types of CdTe QDs were selected as model probes and embedded in AH beads. The entire test was performed within 25 min in a modified double-layer test tube with one bead fixed above the sample solution. Adding citric acid and heating at 70 ℃ for 20 min transformed the sulfites in the solution into SO2 gas, which then quenched the fluorescence of the CdTe QDs-AH beads. Using this assay, qualitative, naked-eye detection of SO2 residues was achieved in the concentration range of 25-300 ppm, as well as precise quantification was possible based on the difference in the average fluorescence brightness of the beads before and after the reaction. Five food types were successfully analysed using this method, which is simpler and more economical than existing methods, and does not require complex pretreatment.

Abstract
By integrating the fluorescence of quantum dots (QDs) and Mn2+-pefloxacin mesylate (Mn2+-pefloxacin), a new type of dual-band fluorescence biosensor for high-efficiency and sensitive determination of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is developed. The biosensor is based on the fluorescence "OFF-ON" mode of both QDs and QDs-Mn2+-pefloxacin. The Mn2+-pefloxacin complex can quench the QDs fluorescence via photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and its fluorescence is also quenched. Due to the specificity and strong binding affinity of dsDNA for the Mn2+-pefloxacin complex, it can break the low fluorescent QDs-Mn2+-pefloxacin and restore the fluorescence of QDs and Mn2+-pefloxacin complex in their respective bands. Therefore, the dual-band fluorescence quantitative detection of dsDNA by QDs-Mn2+-pefloxacin can be achieved, while bovine serum albumin, single-stranded DNA, and bio-related ions do not yield similar results. Furthermore, the possible reaction mechanisms are systematically discussed. The detection limits (3δ/K) of herring sperm (hs) DNA in the fluorescence recovery bands of QDs and Mn2+-pefloxacin complex are 0.0142 and 0.0465 μg/mL, respectively. The developed biosensor was used for dsDNA detection in synthetic samples, and desirable results are obtained.

Abstract
A turn-on fluorescent sensor based on CdTe quantum dots (QDs) is designed for highly sensitive and selective ascorbic acid (AA) detection. CdTe shows a strong emission centered at 578 nm. When assembled with poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and methyl viologen (Mv2+) through electrostatic interaction, the emission is found to be effectively quenched. In the presence of AA, Mv2+ is reduced to Mv+, making the fluorescence of CdTe QDs restored. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed AA sensing method shows a linear proportional response from 0.8 µM to 20 µM, with the detecting limit as low as 50 nM. The developed method was successfully applied in the analysis of AA in human serum samples and cell lysates with satisfactory results.

Fluorescent sensor based on quantum dots and nano-porphyrin for highly sensitive and specific determination of ethyl carbamate in fermented food. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2021; 101:6193-6201. [PMID: 33904599 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a potentially toxic carcinogen produced during fermentation and storage of fermented foods, and many countries have set thresholds for its content in food. Therefore, sensitive, rapid and accurate detection of EC is meaningful to ensure the quality of fermented food. RESULTS This study introduces a CdTe quantum dots/nano-5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-methoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (nano TPP-OCH3 ) fluorescence sensor system detection of EC. The specificity of this sensing mainly relies on a photo-induced electron transfer and electrostatic force interaction between EC and nano TPP-OCH3 . This sensor presented a linear range of 10 to 1000 μg L-1 (R2 = 0.9903) with a low detection limit of 7.14 μg L-1 . Meanwhile, the recovery (91.19-101.09%) and precision [relative standard deviation (RSD) = 0.64-3.05%] of the sensor for the analysis of fermented food (yellow rice wine, soy sauce, Chinese spirits, Pu-erh tea) samples were good and could meet the requirements of practical detection. Moreover, the detection results of fermented food (yellow rice wine, soy sauce, Chinese spirits, Pu-erh tea) samples by this sensor are basically consistent with those of high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). CONCLUSION This method was expected to provide a potential platform for sensitive and accurate detection of EC in food safety monitoring, which would provide knowledge of the flavor and quality related to fermented food. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Metformin (MET), as an oral antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic agent, is widely used to treat type II diabetes mellitus. Because of its increasing consumption, developing a fast, simple, and selective method to determine its concentration in biological samples (serum and urine) and pharmaceutical formulations (tablets) is of great interest. In this study, we used a FRET-based fluorescent nanosensor (Tb-phen-AgNPs system) for sensitive detection of MET in tablet and serum samples. This method is based on the enhancing effect of MET on the emission intensity of the Tb-phen complex, which is quenched by AgNPs via energy transfer process (turn off-on mode). A good linear relationship between the MET concentration and enhanced emission intensity of the Tb-phen-AgNPs system was observed in the range of (0.75-3.7) × 10-6 M under optimum conditions. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation were calculated to be 0.43 × 10-6 M and 1.31 × 10-6 M, respectively. This method was successfully used to determine MET concentrations in pharmaceutical dosage form and in spiked serum sample. The obtained recoveries from pharmaceutical formulation and serum sample were in the range 86.75-98.97% and 85.10-100.96%, respectively. Collectively, our results indicated that the method described here is simple, sensitive, cost effective, and free from interference. Therefore, it can be used as an effective and routine method for the direct and rapid determination of MET levels in biological samples such as serum.

Abstract
A new sensitive, simple, rapid, reliable and selective fluorometric method for the determination of pantoprazole (PAN) in human plasma and a pharmaceutical formulation has been developed. This technique is based on a quenching effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the emission intensity of a fluorescent probe, terbium(III)-1,10-phenantroline (Tb(III)-phen) complex (due to a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) phenomenon between the Tb(III)-phen complex and AgNPs), and then restoring the fluorescence intensity of the Tb(III)-phen-AgNPs system upon the addition of PAN (turn off-on process). The effects of various factors on the proposed method including time, temperature, pH, order of the addition of various reagents and the concentration of AgNPs were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, a good linear relationship between the enhanced emission intensity of the Tb(III)-phen-AgNPs system and the PAN concentration was observed in the range of (10 - 1000) × 10-8 M. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 7.2 × 10-8 and 24.2 × 10-8 M, respectively. Also, the interferences of some common interfering species on the fluorescence intensity of the system were investigated. This simple and sensitive method was successfully applied for the determination of PAN in spiked human plasma samples and in its capsule formulation. The analytical recoveries were in the range of 88.54 - 101.33 and 90.07 - 98.85%, respectively.
