Multifunctional nanomesoporous materials with upconversion (in vivo) and downconversion (in vitro) luminescence imaging based on mesoporous capping UCNPs and linking lanthanide complexes.
A series of new multifunctional nanomesoporous materials based on upconversion nanophosphors NaYF4:Yb,Tm@NaGdF4 (UCNPs) and lanthanide complexes were designed and synthesized through mesoporous capping UCNPs nanophosphors and linking lanthanide (Ln) complexes. The obtained UCNPs@mSiO2-Ln(dbm)4 (Ln = Eu, Sm, Er, Nd, Yb) materials can achieve downconversion and upconversion luminescence to show m...
متن کاملDetection strategies for bioassays based on luminescent lanthanide complexes and signal amplification.
Two attractive detection strategies for bioassays are reviewed in this article. Both approaches use the highly sensitive time-resolved luminescence detection of lanthanide complexes in combination with a signal amplification scheme. While enzyme-amplified lanthanide luminescence (EALL) has been an established technique for more than a decade, nanoparticles doped with luminescent lanthanide comp...
متن کاملTowards polymetallic lanthanide complexes as dual contrast agents for magnetic resonance and optical imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a popular imaging technique in medical diagnostics. With the development of contrast agents, interest in its applications has grown tremendously. Significant effort has been made in order to identify the most important parameters that enhance the relaxation efficiency of MRI probes. Taking into account the requirements for an optimal magnetic performance, dif...
متن کاملLanthanide-based time-resolved luminescence immunoassays
The sensitive and specific detection of analytes such as proteins in biological samples is critical for a variety of applications, for example disease diagnosis. In immunoassays a signal in response to the concentration of analyte present is generated by use of antibodies labeled with radioisotopes, luminophores, or enzymes. All immunoassays suffer to some extent from the problem of the backgro...
متن کاملPyridine-based lanthanide complexes: towards bimodal agents operating as near infrared luminescent and MRI reporters.
We report two prototype Ln(3+) complexes that address requirements for both MRI and luminescence imaging and we demonstrate that the presence of two H(2)O molecules bound to the Ln(3+), beneficial for MRI applications of the Gd(3+) analogue, is not a major limitation for the development of NIR luminescent agents.
