Highly photoluminescent carbon dots with a PL quantum yield of 26% have been prepared in one step by hydrothermal treatment orange juice. Due to high photostability and low toxicity these are demonstrated as excellent probes cellular imaging.
Development of reliable methods for the detection potential biomarkers is utmost importance an early diagnosis critical diseases and disorders. In this study, a novel lanthanide-functionalized carbon dot-based fluorescent probe Zn-CD@Eu reported ratiometric dipicolinic acid (DPA) uric (UA). The nanoprobe was obtained from simple room-temperature reaction zinc-doped dots (Zn-CD) EDTA–Eu lanthanide complex. Under optimal conditions, good linear response DPA in two concentration ranges 0−55...
A new approach towards the design of folic acid conjugated magnetic nanoparticles for enhancing their site specific intracellular uptake against a folate receptor overexpressing cancer cells is reported. Magnetite were prepared by coprecipitation from an Fe3+ and Fe2+ solution followed surface modification with 2-carboxyethyl phosphonic to form carboxyl group terminated nanoparticles. Then fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) carboxylic functionalized magnetite using...
A nitrogen and sulphur co-doped carbon dot (NSCD) based highly selective photoluminescent probe for mercury detection has been designed. The NSCDs with a PL quantum yield of 69% are easily prepared from single polymeric molecular precursor. turn on-off fluorescence change upon addition is attributed to the nonradiative electron transfer excited state d-orbital metal ion. soft-soft acid-base interaction between part NSCD Hg(2+) makes more specific towards in contrast other ions. limit ions...
A multifunctional folic acid decorated superparamagnetic mesoporous CoFe2O4 based nanocarrier with the particle size of 35–40 nm was synthesized by a simple method. The particles show excellent aqueous dispersion stability in physiological pH without any deterioration hydrodynamic and zetapotential. cytotoxicity internalization efficiency these nanocarriers have been evaluated on folate receptor overexpressed HeLa cells. Fluorescent molecule RITC antitumor agents such as methotrexate...
A novel fluorescent boronate nanoprobe has been synthesized by judiciously doping boron, nitrogen, and sulphur in carbon quantum dots (BNSCQD). Specifically, the synergistic presence of nitrogen along with boronic acid provides excellent luminescence properties offers recognition sites for specific sensing glucosamine. Fluorescence intensity enhances glucosamine because agglomeration luminescent centers, thus restricts nonradiative emission channels. The detection limit this turn on...
A robust reusable fluoride sensor comprised of a receptor in charge the chemical recognition and fluorophore responsible for signal has been designed. Highly fluorescent carbon quantum dot (CD) magnetically separable nickel ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) complex bound-silica coated magnetite nanoparticle (Fe3O4@SiO2–EDTA–Ni) have used as ion receptor, respectively. The assay is based on exchange reaction between CD F–, which persuades binding to magnetic receptor. This method highly...
