Using a guanine-rich sequence (AGRO100) and N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX (NMM), a turn-on and label-free fluorescent Pb2+ sensor with high sensitivity and low background fluorescence was presented as a representative of five turn-on sensing systems.
A new CdTe@SiO2@CdSe nanohybrid was demonstrated for the ratiometric fluorescence detection of Cd2+via the turn-on model and “ion-imprinting” technique.
In this work, silicon doped graphene quantum dots (Si-GQDs) were prepared and applied for the sensitive and selective fluorescence detection of triclosan (TCS) in combination with Ru3+ ions.
A strategy for aptamer-based biosensing termed linkage inversion assembled nano-aptasensors (LIANAs) is shown to be a generally applicable approach to the sensitive and specific detection of a target molecule in turn-on fluorescence solution-based and paper-based tests.
