Sensitive glucose detection enables indirect blood glucose sensing through easily accessible biofluids such as saliva and sweat. In this work, silver coated gold nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) were synthesized and used to prepare plasmonic substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to leverage highly sensitive detection of glucose for quantitative analysis. By synthetically manipulating of gold...
Techniques, such as Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films (DGT), which either minimally disturb the soil or perturb it in a controlled way are most likely to provide information relevant to toxicity. Herein, we report the first use of DGT for organics (o-DGT) in soil systems to gain insight into the mobility and lability of four antibiotics—sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfamethazine (SMZ), and sulfadimethoxine...
3′–5′ Exonuclease activities play key roles in maintaining genome stability, so the detection of 3′-5′ exonuclease activity is very important for diseases diagnosis and drug development. In this paper, we established a simple, sensitive, low-cost and label-free method to detect the activity of exonuclease III (Exo III) by using double-strand DNA (dsDNA)-templated copper nanoparticles as fluorescent...
A simple and efficient microfluidic chip-based analytical system for rapid screening of photocatalysts was developed. The catalyst screening system consisted of a microchip with multiple channels for parallel reactions, a UV light source, and a CCD camera-based photometric detection system for monitoring the photocatalytic reaction. A novel microfluidic introduction method for loading particle samples...
In this paper, a sensitive and simple method for the determination of melamine (MA) was developed based on the fluorescence changes of the water-soluble CuInS 2 quantum dots (QDs). The water-soluble CuInS 2 QDs capped by mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was directly synthesized by hydrothermal method based on our previous report. The fluorescence emission of CuInS 2 QDs was quenched...
A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sandwich-type immunosensor for human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) on a gold nanoparticle modified electrode was developed by using N-(aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) labeling. The primary antibody, goat-anti-human IgG was first immobilized on a gold nanoparticle modified electrode, then the antigen (human IgG) and the ABEI-labeled second antibody was conjugated...
3-Mercaptopropyl acid-stabilized CdTe nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous solution are found to be able to conjugate with peptides or proteins mediated by N-hydroxysulfo-succinimide (NHS) but 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimides hydrochloride (EDC). The reaction time and pH have been optimized. Gel-permeation HPLC was applied following the conjugation, which could quickly and simultaneously...
The effect of potential chemical constraints on the performance of two relatively new soil P testing methods, anion exchange membrane (AEM) and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), were evaluated. Exposures to ranges of anion (Cl − , NO 3− , SO 42− and HCO 3− ) concentrations relevant to agricultural soils had minimal effect on P recoveries using...
The DGT technique has potential as a tool for monitoring reactive phosphorus in freshwater aquaculture effluents. Because those waters have high concentrations of suspended matter and nutrients, biofilms may form on the surface of the DGT devices. Those biofilms may hinder the movement of reactive phosphorus and hence interfere with the DGT measurements. We tested two antibiotics, glutaraldehyde and...
