Abstract:

Mercury (Hg) causes hazardous cumulative effects in humans; like central nervous system disorders,hypertension and chromosomal aberrations. Therefore, due to high toxicity and bioaccumulationfactor, mercury determination and speciation in human blood is very important. A sensitive,accurate, precise and inexpensive method was demonstrated for preconcentration and speciationof ultra-trace mercury in human blood samples. The amine-functionalized mesoporous silicananoparticles (NH2-MSNPs) as solid phase sorbent was prepared and investigated in a new andsimple dispersive-ionic liquid-micro-solid phase extraction (D-IL-μ-SPE) procedure for rapidspeciation and determination of trace inorganic and organic mercury [Hg+2 , (CH3Hg)+ and (C2H5Hg)+]in human blood samples. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range, limit of detection andpreconcentration factor were obtained 0.05-9.8 μg L−1, 15 ng L−1 and 9.6 for human blood samples,respectively (Peak Area, RSD

Multi-photon imaging of amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles.

A convenient and simple strategy for preparing water soluble, photoluminescent functionalized silica nanoparticles (M-dots) in the absence of fluorophores or metal doping is demonstrated. These M-dots can be used for bioimaging using one and two-photon microscopy. Because of their high photostability, low toxicity and high biocompatibility compared with Lumidot™ CdSe/ZnS quantum dots, functiona...

Thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...
