A highly efficient and selective turn-on fluorescent sensor for Hg2+, Ag+ and Ag nanoparticles based on a coumarin dithioate derivative.

Selective Membrane Electrode for Bromide Ion Based on Aza Pyrilium Ion Derivative as a new Ionophore.

A highly selective electrode for Bromide ion based on aza pyrilium derivative as an excellentionophore is described.The sensor exhibits a good linear response with a slope of ( 60±1 ) mV per decadeover the concentration range of ( 1×10-3 – 9×10-6 M ) , and a detection limit of ( 3×10-6 M ) of Bromideions .The electrode response is independent of pH in the range of(4.0 –9.5).Selectivity coeffici...

"Turn on" and label-free core−shell Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles-based metal-enhanced fluorescent (MEF) aptasensor for Hg2+

A turn on and label-free fluorescent apasensor for Hg(2+) with high sensitivity and selectivity has been demonstrated in this report. Firstly, core-shell Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthetized as a Metal-Enhanced Fluorescent (MEF) substrate, T-rich DNA aptamers were immobilized on the surface of Ag@SiO2 NPs and thiazole orange (TO) was selected as fluorescent reporter. After Hg(2+) was ad...

Corrigendum: “Turn on” and label-free core−shell Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles-based metal-enhanced fluorescent (MEF) aptasensor for Hg2+

Design of a Fluorescent Sensor Based on the Polydopamine Nanoparticles for Detection of Gallic Acid

Background: Gallic acid (GA) is one of the polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial and radical scavenging activities, which plays a main role in human health against cancer and cardiovascular diseases. GA concentration can be quantitatively measured in food, medicinal plants and body fluids. Materials and Methods: In this study, MnO2 nanosheets were prepared by reducing potassium...

Low temperature formation Silver-Copper alloy nanoparticles using hydrogen plasma treatment for fabrication of humidity sensor

In this paper, a novel method of producing bi-metallic alloy nanoparticles at low temperatures using hydrogen bombardment of thin films, deposited on glass substrates, is introduced. Optical and morphological characteristics of the nanoparticles were extensively studied for various conditions of plasma treatment, such as plasma power density, temperature, duration of hydrogen bombardment, thick...
